Simon Gillespie sings PETER ALLEN [LIVE music]

Simon Gillespie grew up just about as far away from Peter Allen as it’s possible to get and yet has an uncanny affinity for the music of this extraordinary singer/songwriter.
11 Feb SAT 2pm 

Simon Gillespie sings 

PETER ALLEN [LIVE music] 

tickets $15 | $12 group 10+

Including Olivia Newton John’s landmark recording of ‘I Honestly Love You’ and Peter’s own soulful and heart-wrenchingly honest delivery of ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ these songs are lovingly recreated in this outstanding new show – ‘SIMON GILLESPIE sings PETER ALLEN’.

From working as Judy Garland’s opening act [Quiet Please – There’s a Lady Onstage] to international stardom as an openly flamboyant and controversial artist [Bi-Coastal] these songs take us on a journey through life, love and finally having to say goodbye [Once Before I Go].

For almost 15 years audiences across the globe have been clamouring for Simon to deliver a purely ‘Peter Allen’ set as only he can. Well here it finally is, working to standing ovations and encores everywhere!

Peter Allen’s songs are his legacy and with Simon's skillfully sensitive interpretations they serve so well to tell the story of his life and his loves in this new very personal, very intimate cabaret.

Critic reviews

Song and dance in the key of life: That’s the irresistible appeal of La La Land. Full review

A.A. Dowd
A.V. Club

"La La Land" isn't a masterpiece (and on some level it wants to be). Yet it's an elating ramble of a movie, ardent and full of feeling, passionate but also exquisitely controlled. Full review

Owen Gleiberman
Variety

To rhapsodize about La La Land is to complete the experience. You want to sing its praises, literally. Full review

David Edelstein
Vulture

The real tension in “La La Land” is between ambition and love, and perhaps the most up-to-date thing about it is the way it explores that ancient conflict. Full review
