Matt struts “the boards” again with his new show, “Under the Covers”.
These days, Matt has traded the diving board for another kind of “board”, the boards of the stage, as they say. I had the pleasure of shooting some production shots at the dress rehearsal and performance of the latest addition to his cabaret repertoire.
Under the Covers has been created by the same team who devised Matthew’s previous multi-award-winning musical comedy, Twists & Turns, namely Matthew together with award-winning director Nigel Turner-Carroll and international cabaret sensation Spanky (aka Rhys Morgan), with accompaniment by Matthew Ogle.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself while shooting this brand new, sparkling, feel-good production. Matt’s talent is seemingly limitless. At times, it was difficult to keep focus on the job at hand. I found myself caught up in the jokes, the songs, the clever parody between the two main protagonists and the general infectious sense of fun.
However…. I concentrated on getting the shots and decided to return another time to sit back and be entertained as one of the punters in the seats.
Here are some of the shots taken at the Hayes Theatre in Sydney in mid-September. If you want a good night out, check the performance schedule, and go to see Under the Covers. It will put a smile on your face.
