Where do you start when you are creating a set list of favourite songs from movie musicals?

If you’re Kerrie-Anne Greenland and you grew up in the ’90s, you choose a song from a Disney Princess.

As the show unveils, it comes as no surprise that Greenland won a prestigious Helpmann Award for her role as Eponine in Les Miserables.

Her powerful voice and stagecraft are evident as she works her way through a plethora of songs, eras and styles.

Surrounded on stage by photos of family and friends and supported with piano and cello, Greenland weaves her own brand of movie magic.

Her chosen repertoire allows her to fully demonstrate her ability to interpret the songs and bring them to life.

Standards include numbers from movies such as Carousel, The King and I, even The Jazz Singer.

More modern selections come from Frozen and The Greatest Showman.

Forgotten gems are Somewhere That’s Green from Little Shop of Horrors and Kermit the Frog’s unforgettable and poignant, It’s Not Easy Being Green.

Greenland’s engaging banter with her musicians and the audience link the different songs.

The real strength of Greenland’s performance is, of course, her voice.

It soars and dives through On My Own from Les Mis and Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music which also demonstrates her operatic training.

She does a credible Judy Garland complete with patter as well as singing in her inimitable style.

This is followed by Liza Minnelli and Maybe This Time from Cabaret.

Her voice soars and thrills but also sensitively interprets each song.

There are so many songs in this delightful and polished performance. Kerrie-Anne Greenland is a musical talent worth following.

Pictures: Songs From Movie Musicals was presented by producer Alexander Butt at the Sunnybank Performing Arts and Cultural Centre (SunPAC) for an exclusive Queensland performance.

The cabaret is based on Kerrie Anne Greenland’s debut album of the same name, Pictures, which is dedicated to her family and friends who appear in photos on the stage.

Kerrie Anne was accompanied by musical director Rainer Pollard on the piano and Conrad Hamill on the cello.

Kerrie Anne’s powerful voice is the perfect foil for a wonderful collection of songs from a broad range of silver screen hits including iconic and classic films such as The Wizard of Oz, The Jazz Singer, The Sound of Music and Cabaret to more contemporary motion pictures such as The Muppets and Mamamia.

From start to finish audiences, were spellbound by songs from Somewhere Over the Rainbow and the beloved hit On My Own from Les Miserables, not to forget Kermit’s favourite, It’s Hard Being Green, and a striking Judy Garland impersonation.

Kerrie Anne delighted audience members with tales of growing up in Adelaide with her parents who owned a cinema and how she grew to love Disney films.

In particular, she adored watching Sleeping Beauty on VHS which she viewed repeatedly – so many times that the tape wore out. She also confessed to a fondness for popcorn and choc top ice creams.

Kerrie Anne is an award-winning Australian theatre performer and accomplished singer who completed studies at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

She started her career in music theatre in 2014, bringing to life the character of Eponine in Cameron Mackintosh’s Les Miserables Australia.

Kerrie Anne was awarded the coveted Helpmann Award for her portrayal of this much-loved character.

Pictures: Songs From Movie Musicals displays Kerrie Anne’s very impressive vocal range and clarity.

Wow, I was totally blown away by Kerrie Anne Greenland’s amazing ‘angel-like’ voice and her total command of the stage.

Such immense talent and versatility and supported by incredibly impressive musicians on piano and cello (who reminded me of The Pianoman Band! )

Kerrie Anne shared highlights of her life both on and off stage and enlightened us with a little bit of history behind musicals.

She performed numerous songs from different genres including Disney Princesses, Musical Divas and Children’s Musicals – something for everyone.

I didn’t know some of the golden oldies yet found myself and others singing along and tapping to the beat, laughing at some humorous impersonations, reflecting on some more emotive tunes and enjoying the friendly banter between the musicians.

My favourite was “On My Own” from Les Mis – it gave me goosebumps listening to a song that Kerrie perfected as lead role in the Australian cast of this production.

This was my first event at SunPAC but I will definitely be back… no problems for parking and complimentary morning tea before the performance.

I loved the intimate setting of SunPAC Theatre (only a 20-minute drive from the city) and thought it was lovely that Kerrie Anne made herself available to talk with the audience in the foyer after the show.
