Overview
Todd McKenney is back at Ensemble Theatre to celebrate 40 years in showbiz with his dazzling new show!
Exuberant, entertaining, and bursting with energy… just a few traits Todd has in common with his idol, Peter Allen. Praised for his stellar performance as Peter Allen in the original Australian production of THE BOY FROM OZ, it’s only fitting that Todd returns with a tribute to the legendary entertainer who kickstarted his career. Take a journey through Allen’s greatest hits performed with a band live on stage — from crowd-pleaser ‘I Go to Rio’ to tearjerker ‘Tenterfield Saddler’. Also featuring songs from Todd’s all-time favourite artists who have influenced him over the years, this is a special event not to be missed by musical theatre lovers.
Grab your maracas and button up your Hawaiian shirt for some fabulously fun nostalgia.
