Wishing all the best for Love never dies and its cast,hope tonight will be an unforgettable night!
The very best of luck to all our Australian cast and creative team from Love Never Dies in tonight’s awards.
Nice to see more women being recognised with the JC Williamson Award. Only about a quarter of the recipients in the past 15 years have been female. Mind you, that’s a heck of a lot better than the Hall of Fame Logie!
The Helpmanns have had so many different television ‘homes’ over the last decade. It’d be great if FTA would pick it up and make a commitment to it. The performances at the Helpmann’s are usually top class and it’s a pity not more people can see it and potentially develop an interest in aspects of live performance beyond pop concerts. I’d have hoped that the huge interest in TV talent shows and Glee at the moment would make FTA networks consider broadcast rights.
