Recently named Australian Event Entertainers of the Year by BT Publishing, do not miss spectacular Australian group, Pot-Pourri in an unforgettable, new, entertaining and classy performance! Tailor-made for your special event. Pot-Pourri is Tania de Jong AM, Rebecca Bode, Jon Bode, Jonathan Morton and Rebecca Chambers.
Australia's leading music theatre group present their unique and innovative blend of music theatre, cabaret, opera and comedy in a superbly entertaining show that is so hot it sizzles! With 40 overseas tours under their belt, they are described as brilliantly talented, funny, fresh, moving and must-see....do not miss them! This is the show! Entertainment for all, entertainment at its best!
This is a sparkling and unique feature performance (plus encores!) featuring well-known hits from Opera to Broadway and songs including The Drinking Song from La Traviata, Nessun Dorma (None shall sleep!) from Turandot, Carmen, Les Miserables, and favourites from The Boy from Oz, Phantom of the Opera, Man of La Mancha, West Side Story, and recent hits from IL DIVO, Amici, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli including Nella Fantasia, You Raise Me Up, The Prayer and Time To Say Goodbye! These talented artists hit those high C's in Opera, belt out Broadway, seduce with song, dance up a storm, create magic and stir your soul with haunting ballads.
The diversity in the performance and the music and comedy crosses all boundaries of background, nationality and culture, and really helps to put the audience in a positive, celebratory and uplifted mood. The group can also prepare a special song and other material with lyrics related to the client and industry. As well, the artists will charm their way around the audience and your special guests with comical interactive moments. Pot-Pourri’s success is largely due to their ability to be innovative with traditional art forms and adapt to each unique audience. They are clever, fresh and creative thinking and will create a show that is memorable, funny and moving and can highlight a sponsor if requested.
We are able to provide 3-4 singers and one pianist/music director (from the Victoria State Opera, Australian Opera and professional musical companies) to present this feature performance. This part of the entertainment will need to be carefully scheduled and staged to gain maximum impact within the event.
Pot-Pourri has toured to sell-out houses both nationally and internationally and they are in constant demand giving public performances in festivals and major concert halls and providing feature act entertainment at special events. Their clients include many of the world’s largest corporations and organisations.
They were selected as one of the companies to represent Australia internationally for the Reaching the World program of The Sydney Olympic Games and were invited to perform at the World Expo 2000 in Hannover as a result of a standing ovation at the Australia Germany Association Conference Gala Dinner in Brisbane. They also performed as guest artists with the Seoul Symphony Orchestra in Korea. They launched their fifth album in a sell-out season at The Famous Spiegeltent at the Melbourne Festival and were the only Australian act invited to perform for the International Music Theatre Festival in Korea. Other recent tours include a sell-out season in Japan, Taiwan, performances in Italy and a major tour of New Zealand. Pot-Pourri was the first Australian act invited to perform at the Macau Cultural Centre in China and have just returned from performances in Hong Kong for the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Government House, and their debut shows in mainland China.
Note: Pot-Pourri is the correct spelling of this originally french word meaning smelly dried flowers. It is often (incorrectly) spelt Potpourri, Pot Pourri, Pot-Poori, Pot-Pooui, Pot-Pouri, Potpouri and all sorts of combinations. Let's not get onto the pronunciation. It's a tricky word.
"Music theatre of the highest calibre, brilliantly crafted, gorgeous voices and a great sense of fun. A standing ovation - don't miss them!" The Canberra Times

"It was the best conference entertainment we have had in our 20 year history...the integration of concrete into the show was brilliant and the audience from all over the world spontaneously stood and cheered!" International Concrete Conference
