Showbiz is full of ups and downs. In her 40 years in The Biz, Meredith O’Reilly has been in more than her fair share of big shows that suddenly stopped, flopped or never got off the ground... involving national tours, major stars and dodgy characters! She'll sing the unsung songs from those shows and dish the dirt on where it all went horribly wrong and where fact truly was stranger than fiction!
Happily, she was in the odd smash hit, too: Les Mis, Hello Dolly!, Rocky Horror Show, The Producers, The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady to name but a few. Expect to hear those much-loved tunes as well. Most recently Meredith was seen as Maria Angelucci in the new smash hit Australian musical The Grandparents Club, written by Wendy Harmer with music by John Field. You will remember Meredith from this show that toured the Yuin Theatre in May 2024! A second show, Cruising With The Grandparents Club is touring QLD, NSW, Tasmania & Victoria in 2025.
