Let Me Entertain You

Taylor Swift has released her much anticipated 12th album, THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL. To celebrate, Taylor created a cinematic release called THE OFFICIAL PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL, featuring her first single 'Orphelia' that she wrote, directed and starred in, behind the scenes footage, lyrical videos and more! Shoutout to Randwick Ritz, the only cinema in Sydney who charged $12.00 tickets (as Taylor wanted in celebration of this event), I spoke to fellow Swifties before and after the show! Enjoy!

Interview in the foyer of the Theatre Royal Sydney after the opening week performance of the 40^th anniversary Australian production of CATS. What makes this conversation a surprising listen is I find out Lisa (and her friends) were picked to meet Old Deuteronomy during intermission- a special experience available for audiences- something I witnessed sitting in the dress-circle and found out more.
