JUDY & LIZA, STARDUST, BETTE BABS & BASSEY, BIG BLONDE & BEAUTIFUL

COMPANY PROFILE I started writing specifically for the Morning Music Market back in 2008. I am a Drama Graduate from Victoria College and had spent my life up until then performing in theatrical productions, theatre restaurants and as part of a musical duo “Makin’ Whoopee” playing around Australia whilst also teaching Singing. Having trained in the theatre I began to miss the “theatre” experience. I was a regular patron of the morning music shows here in my hometown of Frankston and was inspired to try writing a show for myself – hence the birth of JUDY & LIZA. I found that I had a passion for writing and performing for this audience – I was not surprised! I saw the need for quality entertainment in the “musical matinee” genre and wanted to write upbeat shows that had an “intelligence” about them based around appealing musical themes. It is important to me as a non-celebrity that I make sure I use the best musicians, write beautiful and sometimes surprising musical arrangements whilst also paying attention to the whole “look” of the production from the costuming right through to the use of powerpoint images to enhance the “show experience”. The success of JUDY & LIZA spurred me on to continue to develop new material for this market. I am now writing my fourth show, BIG, BLONDE & BEAUTIFU” and loving it! We have toured extensively through the VAPAC venues and more recently have made in-roads into New South Wales and Queensland. Many venues have taken all three of my shows. ABOUT THE SHOWS SHOW SYNPOSIS JUDY & LIZA From the silver screen to top-rating television shows to the concert stages of the world, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli fired the senses and inspired the imagination of audiences for generations. Talented songstress Martine Pavey presents a musical tribute to two unforgettable glittering and beloved entertainers of the last century who just happened to be mother and daughter! Covering so many of the memorable hits including Get Happy, Over The Rainbow, Cabaret, The Money Song, Meet Me In St Louis and The Man That Got Away this delightful show will capture all the drama, whimsy, humour and sentiment that was Judy & Liza. JUDY & LIZA runs for approximately 75-80 minutes without an interval and works ideally for a Musical Matinee Show as well as an evening Cabaret. It can be performed with just Piano and Performer or with a 3-piece ensemble including Double Bass and Drums. Testimonials for JUDY & LIZA: “Martine thrilled us with her beautiful voice and vibrant, charming personality. She had the audience enthralled and left them wanting more!!” Wendy Hall, Manager, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Ballarat

"Thanks to Martine Pavey and her maestro Simon for a fabulous morning of entertainment. She channelled the passion, poignancy and talent of Judy and Liza with great skill and the audience were absolutely delighted." Robyn Birrell, Manager, The Glasshouse Theatre, Port Macquarie "I must say it was a pleasure to showcase your amazing talent, I have received heaps of positive feedback from our huge audience. Your portrayal of both Judy and Liza took our audience on a musical journey that was both entertaining and fun". Rod McKenzie, Manager, Ararat PAC “This is a lovely show, beautifully performed and sung with passion and feeling. The audience responded warmly and I would have no hesitation booking Martine again for future engagements.” Ken Cameron, Manager, Hamilton Performing Arts Centre “The show made a real connection with our daytime audiences who loved the choice of songs and the relaxed patter that told the story. Martine's performance had a freshness and vibrancy that made it a successful presentation for us.” Paul Streefkerk, Manager, The Drum Theatre, Dandenong “Your preparedness and professionalism made the day as trouble free as we could hope and the show was a great entertainment for the very appreciative audience.” Graeme Russell, Venue Manager, Horsham Rural City Council “Judy and Liza was an excellent daytime show and totally delighted our regular audience. Martine and Simon were great to deal with and they have put together a very professional product that was certainly a highlight in our annual season; good music selection, good performances and just the right balance of ‘talk’ to link it all together with personality!” Rob Robson, Manager, Eastbank Centre, Shepparton. “Our patrons were delighted with Martine Pavey's affectionate tribute to Judy Garland and Liza Minelli. Martine has a great voice, a good sense of fun and knows how to take the audience on a journey with her.” Camille Jenkins, Manager, Esso BHP Billiton Wellington Entertainment Centre “JUDY & LIZA was very much in the tradition of a classic cabaret show with the singer, Martine Pavey, effortlessly mixing song with storytelling. Martine carried the show, capturing the essence of Judy and Liza, with a remarkable physical and vocal likeness to the mother/daughter songstresses.” Suzanne Snooks, Manager, Kingston Arts Centre

“This was an excellent show and Martine was just exceptional”. John Bullen Wyndham Cultural Centre “COPACC audiences thoroughly enjoyed Martine's Judy & Liza show - in fact they loved every little detail right down to her sequinned trousers. Martine is great to work with, has a beautiful voice, and is perfect for the morning melodies market. We're looking forward to programming her next show”. Karen Patterson, Manager, Colac Otway Performing Arts & Cultural Centre “Martine and her accompanist on piano worked the audience wonderfully. This is a show that will reach all age groups….just so full of life.” Susan Curnow, Wyndham Cultural Centre “STARDUST” Melbourne Chanteuse Martine Pavey presents a sassy and jazzy tribute to father and daughter showbiz legends Natalie and Nat King Cole. Relive the inspiring story and music of the man whose voice was to become among the best-known in the world of popular music, and his Seven Grammy-Award Winning daughter who came to devote herself to her father’s legacy. Martine skillfully recreates the magic of those timeless songs including When I Fall in Love, Straighten Up and Fly Right, Unforgettable and more. Beautifully costumed and with imaginative musical arrangements by Simon Stone, STARDUST is simply a beautiful romantic theatre experience. STARDUST runs for approximately 80 minutes without an interval and works ideally for a Musical Matinee Show as well as an evening Cabaret. It can be performed with just Piano amd Performer or with a 3-piece ensemble including Double Bass and Drums. Testimonials for STARDUST: “STARDUST delighted and enchanted our Morning Melodies audience. We received excellent feedback from our audience regarding the quality of your performance and the musical accompaniment; and high praise for programming the music of Natalie and Nat King Cole. The tyranny of distance in North Queensland means that our audience is not always able to experience quality vocalists such as yourself who are known to Melbourne and Sydney audiences, but who do not tour commercially. As such please accept my heartfelt thanks for working with me and colleagues in other north Queensland venues, to conduct a tour, which by all indications has been both a commercial and critical success. It was a real pleasure to work with you Martine, your willingness to work with us constructing a tour, the quality marketing materials you provided, your readiness to undertake media requests and your pleasant demeanor all combined to make your tour and your performances thoroughly enjoyable experiences for both venues and audiences. It is so pleasing when venues and performers can work together to construct tours such as this which then allow regional and remote venue audiences to experience performances

which are normally only available in capital cities. This helps us build our audience and develop better understandings of cultural product, ensuring our programs stay relevant, topical, and dare I say popular. Very much looking forward to working with you again in 2015, and thank you for working with us yet again. I shall be delighted to welcome you back to Mackay and so will our audience.” Mark Fawcett, Manager, Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre “It was not only the singing and the story telling that won the audience over; Martine engaged with the audience with humour and old-style “showmanship.” And the musicianship of her band was by far the highest we have seen as part of this season for at least the past few years. It was refreshing to see a daytime production that did not rely on a recorded soundtrack. Our audience response was heartening – Martine received a standing ovation and the immediate feedback from patrons after the show was both appreciative and complimentary. If you are looking for a production that ticks all the boxes, offers great value for your programming dollar and could easily slot into an evening or weekend music spot as well, consider one of Martine’s shows.” Steve Donelly, Manager, Riverlinks Venues BETTE, BABS & BASSEY (Formerly DIVAS – artwork currently being re-done) Festooned in feathers, sequins and dripping with jewels, Melbourne “Diva” Martine Pavey takes us on an unforgettable musical journey relating the lives, the loves, the glitz, the tears and the tantrums in the life of a DIVA. Featuring the legendary songs of world renowned “Divas” Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Bette Midler and many more, BETTE, BABS & BASSEY is guaranteed to pack a powerful musical punch with a lot of laughs along the way! BETTE, BABS & BASSEY runs for approximately 80 minutes without an interval and works ideally for a Musical Matinee Show as well as an evening Cabaret.

Celebrate the music of history’s favourite golden haired songbirds from Mae West to Marilyn Monroe, Doris Day to Dolly Parton, Agnetha from Abba and our very own Olivia Newton-John with Morning Music’s favourite Brunette Martine Pavey. BIG, BLONDE & BEAUTIFUL takes a tongue in cheek look at our fascination with the golden-locked beauties of the entertainment industry in a scintillating morning of fabulous music!” ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writer/ Producer/ Performer: Martine Pavey Director: Ron Halliday Arrangements: Simon Stone (No Sponsors or Logos) BIOGRAPHIES MARTINE PAVEY Martine is a Drama Graduate from Victoria College and has spent the greater part of her life “on stage”. The last two decades have seen Martine writing, producing and performing small ensemble shows including “Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major” and “Fifties Fever” touring the Australian Clubs and Theatres, whilst also performing in the very successful duo “Makin’ Whoopee!” A hit season of her show “Back to the Seventease” as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 1997 got her back out on the road touring Australian Art Centres, Clubs and performing for corporate events. Martine was then cast as “Liza Minnelli” in a Rat Pack show at Melbourne’s Crown Casino which was the catalyst that inspired Martine to pen and perform her one-woman shows “Judy & Liza” (a moving tribute to Judy Garland and her daughter Liza Minnelli), “Divas” (a sassy show dedicated to Martine’s idols Bette, Babs and Bassey) and her jazzy tribute to father and daughter Natalie and Nat King Cole in “Stardust”. Martine, along with her husband Ron, now also run “Voicebox Singing School” on the Mornington Peninsula where she delights in fostering and developing the talent of tomorrow. SIMON STONE Simon is a pianist and musical director, whose work has encompassed opera and musical theatre, in classical and more popular genres. He has played keyboard in the orchestras for the Melbourne seasons of "Phantom of the Opera", "Les Miserables", "Chicago", "Sunset Boulevard", "Showboat" and “Dr Zhivago”, and has worked in the showbands on the m/s Sunbird (Sun Cruises), m/v Rotterdam (Holland America Line), m/v Galaxy (Celebrity Cruises) and m/v Mercury (Celebrity Cruises). Simon studied piano with Associate Professor Stephen McIntyre at the University of Melbourne and graduated with the award for the best final year student.

AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW My Shows provide an “escape” from the audiences’ everyday lives. They entertain and involve the patrons through a shared love of great, instantly recognisable songs and music. Sometimes the shows resonate very deeply

JUDY & LIZA, STARDUST, BETTE BABS & BASSEY, BIG BLONDE & BEAUTIFUL

with patrons on an emotional level and I write the shows in such a way as there is a “journey” of sorts – always finishing in an upbeat way. The ongoing interplay directly with the audience is a feature of my performances. It is important to me that the audience feels “included” in the performance (even if they don’t realise it at the time) and that they are “part” of the show rather than just mute spectators. In this way they are more “emotionally invested” and leave the theatre having had a full “experience”. DESCRIPTION / DETAILS No Workshops offered. I am happy, however to do “meet & greet” after the shows, creating opportunities for connection and discussion. COST I work on a one off fee per venue. As I have entrepreneured all my shows with the theatres directly I am always trying to maximise the number of shows on each tour to help share costs and keep my shows as affordable as possible. TARGET AUDIENCE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT My Shows are largely marketed at the 40 and over age group.

Projection equipment and cyc/ screen at the back of the stage(opt). EXAMPLE SCHEDULE Super quick and easy! We arrive at the theatre 90 minutes before the show. Our Tech Specs have been forwarded to the venue well in advance so if there are any adjustments they have been worked out before the day of performance. We generally soundcheck 30-45 minutes before the show. CREW REQUIRED FROM VENUE We require both a lighting and a sound operator (usually one of these people are also able to operate the Powerpoint if the theatre is able to use that technology).

We require very little (although we must have a good quality piano or keyboard). Usually a small table on stage and a stool. Where venues are using the 3-piece band, a rostra back and centre for the Bass and Drums always looks great. Martine Pavey to supply We supply the show including the performers & musicians.
