Australia Plays Broadway at Carnegie Hall last Tuesday was an impressive event. Prior to the show, I don't think that I fully appreciated the breadth and range of artists that were performing.
While all of the performers were stellar, some of the more impressive performances were:
- Twins cellists Pei-Jee & Pei-Sian Ng, performing together for the first time, played "In the Depths of the Temple"
- Robyn Nevin reading "Lincoln Portrait", which concluded with a tribute to President Obama
- David Campbell and Jimmy Barnes duetting on "You've Lost The Lovin' Feeling"
- Simon Burke, Amanade Harrison, David Campbell and Olivia Newton-John performing a series of Peter Allen tunes, which included a finale with the entire company.
As this was the second successful year of Australia Plays Broadway, I'm sure that next year will be something to look forward to.
