Kelly Young - Oh! My Shattered Illusions

Kelly has been away from the stage for quite sometime, 15 years in fact, but has now resumed her cabaret career with Oh! My Shattered Illusions. She recently played at the Riverside Theatres in Parramatta.

Kelly has been on a bit of a life journey, like us all. But shares some of the stories of motherhood, marriage and divorce with us. Many of the songs tell the funny side of life, even though they can be serious at the time. Most were full of humour and had the audience screaming with laughter.  Kelly sang with great passion, though she didn't have the strongest of voices for some of the songs, it was more about the story so this didn't matter. She was accompanied by Rachel Collis on piano. Rachel you may have seen earlier this year, is another talented musician.
I think the Riverside Theatre was probably not the best venue for this type of performance. Kelly would be better performing in a cabaret style set up. It was a good show though and certainly entertaining and if you see she is performing elsewhere in Sydney, I would go.
