In the midst of a summer-like warm spell in London, I went to visit the Kew Gardens near Richmond. So incredibly beautiful and huge! Only got a chance to see 1/10 of it. I am waiting for real summer weather to hit before I make another visit, but it will be sure worth the wait!

MiG: LIVIN' IN THE WILD WEST END MINI-DIARY


17 May 2012  HERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OWN...

16 May 2012  So proud of my THRILLER cast last night. So many people off with illness, no swings left, a skeleton crew, yet they gave their all and it was possibly the best show yet!! xxx
 
14 May 2012  Happy 10th Anniversary, WE WILL ROCK YOU!! So proud to be a part of you...xxxxxxxxx

10 May 2012  Traveling back from Paris to London on the Eurostar. The only way to fly...

8 May 2012  Ahhh Paris. You never, ever get old...except for that you are ancient. Je t'aime beaucoup!!! X

7 May 2012  Am about to board the Eurostar to Paris...loving myself sick right now. X
 
25 April 2012  As I munch on my Anzac biccie on the other side of the world, I thank all you Diggers for your service and sacrafice. Lest we forget. 

24 April 2012  Less than 100 days to go before the Olympics and the scaffolding and veils have started to come down, revealing a London that is ready to become the centre of the Universe. It's a very exciting time to be here and London is scrubbing up really nice... 

19 April 2012  Drought?! London in drought?! You call this a drought?! I'm from Australia. This ain't no drought. X

15 April 2012  KEW GARDENS  In the midst of a summer-like warm spell in London, I went to visit the Kew Gardens near Richmond. So incredibly beautiful and huge! Only got a chance to see 1/10 of it. I am waiting for real summer weather to hit before I make another visit, but it will be sure worth the wait!
 
13 April 2012  And...I'm back!! Finally had a great show tonight after 3 unsuccessful attempts at returning to work. Dr. Tom Harris and Peter at PhysioEd are magicians. Had my best show EVER! Knock on wood...x

7 April 2012  Happy Easter to you all! Hope you are sharing it with loved ones who love you back just as much! xxx
 
5 April 2012  SEA PATROL, HOUSE, CSI, SVU, COLD CASE, FLASHPOINT...stop with the great tv!! Gotta get off this sofa!

4 April 2012  Think I came back to work too early...just can't shut me up!!

4 April 2012  This coughing has got to stop sometime! Beautiful sun outside, but have become wary of any chill in the air...

3 April 2012  Hay fever + drop in temperature + singing every day = cold. My 3rd one this year. Booooo! Am not performing THRILLER tonight. Will be sticking my head in a steamer. Booooo!!

27 March 2012  I have not seen the sun like this in London for a long time. Sun. sun. sun. Here it comes. 

22 March 2012  Never want to leave Villa Licht... But alas, back to reality. I love you Kitzbühel!!

20 March 2012  Sucks to be me.

20 March 2012  Waking up and the sun is out here in beautiful Kitzbühel. Heaven, woah- woah!!!

19 March 2012  At Gatwick airport about to fly to Innsbruck. It's 6:37am, after 2 THRILLER shows and no sleep...yet still excited!!

17 March 2012  Happy St. Pat's day to all you Irish People, old boys and ex-Pats!!!!

10 March 2012  KILLER THRILLER  We are in full swing with the show. My voice is behaving itself and those ridiculously high notes seem more attainable...but never easy. The weather is warming up and even the sun is out today. Won't see much of it though as it's a two show day. Buckle up, we're going in...

1 March 2012  Just had the best massage ever. Thai massage at Kobkun, Upper St. Islington. Blissssssssssss......

26 February 2012  Am loving the new Le Pain that opened up yesterday in Wardour St, so near to stage door. I feel like I'm in NY there for a minute...

26 February 2012  When people ask me, "Why the capital G in 'MiG'?", it's because I'm..."
 
25 February 2012  I am truly enjoying doing the show now. My voice seems to be back. It will never be a vocal walk in the park, as MJ sings so incredibly high, but it’s a challenge and a wonderful journey. There is so much of London to take in! I love being here, and being part of the incredible West End community. I saw GHOST last week and was so moved by the performances, the music and the staging. I hope to see as many shows as possible here and soak it all in.

21 February 2012  Wow! Finally been able to sleep in past 8:30!! I broke the curse...10:45am!!! But now can't get out of bed. Oh oh...

20 February 2012  Am watching and loving GHOST at the Piccadilly Theatre.
 
18 February 2012  Had a couple of great shows today. Tonight's audience were very lovely! So nice to have my voice back, but this gig will never be a walk in the park...Hee hee!!

17 February 2012  Always a great time with great friends...

15 February 2012  Just spent some time with very special people at Bournemouth. Heading back to London now. Beautiful day...

14 February 2012  Happy Valentine's Day... Hope you feel loved, not just today but wish that every day is Valentine's Day for you. 

12 February 2012  Coconut sorbet accompanying an awesome cappuccino at Gelupo. Yummy!!

4 February 2012  The red glow of the Windmill shines over the snow outside the stage door of the Lyric Theatre. The snow made London look so beautiful, and the transport chaos!

Got to meet the new dancers and my fellow cast mates, as well as the director, choreographers and spent the day working on songs with the awesome John Maher.
