PETER COUSENS

Peter Cousens has pondered at many levels whether he is a singer-actor or actor-singer. Performers need to make the choice to hone one artform, usually to the neglect of the other.
``I've always thought of myself as an actor-singer but the last few years it's really been a singer-actor,'' he says. - Troy Lennon, The Daily Telegraph

AMIE McKENNA & DAVID HAWKINS

John Lennon once called it the "tee hee, it's not me" factor, and there's nothing like the misfortune of others to put a smile on one's face, is there? Well, not quite. Neil Armfield has observed how the theatre teaches us to empathise. Whatever the case, an audience can take home a grim vision of the world and nurture it as a good night out. - John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE OF CABARET

There's more than a bit of cabaret going on in Sydney at the moment.

FAITH WINTHROP - JOURNEYS

'Winthrop had the magical ability to convince each listener she was singing directly to them, whether sparkling her way through an unforgettable reading of Jitterbug Waltz or mooning through what she charmingly called "dysfunctional love songs"'. - John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald

JOHN BUCCHINO

'What sets his work apart is an intriguing ability to have one foot in the great Broadway tradition of Berlin/Porter/Rodgers/Sondheim, and another in what we might call the "intelligent pop" tradition of such diverse composers as Carole King, Randy Newman and Elvis Costello.' - John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald
