ROB MILLS IS ... SURPRISINGLY GOOD Comes to Hayes Theatre Co, June 23-24
An irreverent look at the guy behind an extraordinary career, this show is much more than the standard cabaret fare. "Rob Mills is ... Surprisingly Good" is an eclectic mix of music and stories in an intimate setting with a cracking band and the self-deprecating humour that we have learned to associate with 'Millsy'.
Musically, the show is as unpredictable as him, covering artists as far reaching as Taylor Swift, Gavin DeGraw and Coldplay, as well as hits from a few musicals in which he has (and hasn't, but wishes he had) appeared; 'The Last Five Years', 'Avenue Q', and of course, 'Wicked'.
Despite proving himself in the world of pop music, television and music theatre, Rob has amassed twelve years of reviews that revolve around the notion that 'considering we know him as that down to earth larrikin from Idol... his performance was surprisingly good'...
This show is proof that these two things are no longer mutually exclusive. In this, his first one man show, Rob reveals he can be both the cheeky personality who has charmed the nation on TV, as well as the skilled actor/singer he has proven to be through his extensive music theatre career.
