visiting the House of Nononsina in Anaheim Californian for a special gathering. I was feeling a little guilty because my daughter Georgia turns 21 today but I know we will catch up when I get home and I want to thank her brothers Tana, Iosefa and Mataio for taking her out this evening. .faam .cortes .diamanty

Why is it that some people love who they meet, while others see what they hope to change. Peace is only found when you can accept someone for who they are by making sure you place them where they need to be in your heart.

Today I want to celebrate the quiet achiever in our household. She’s my gift. My daughter Georgia Rose celebrates her 21st birthday today. I’m sending this post from overseas and I want to wish her a wonder day and I want to thank her for allowing me to be her Dad. It’s a been a ride but I couldn’t be prouder of her and wish her much love for today and the future. ###

Two images. One show. Forty-one years apart — and separated by the Pacific Ocean.

The photo at the top was taken in 1985 on the stage of the former Mercury Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. In the front is the boyishly handsome Nathaniel Lees, my mentor. In the middle, playing the Pirate King, is the evergreen and highly acclaimed Māori actor Sir George Henare. And in the back is a wiry 22-year-old kid from South Auckland trying desperately not to be found out as a fraud.

Fast forward 41 years and I find myself once again surrounded by extraordinary talent — including the multitalented Brittany Shipway and the delightfully cheeky Maxwell Simon.

This fresh adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance was written and directed by Richard Carroll, with the music joyfully reimagined by our musical director Victoria Falconer — a composer, actor, performer and multi-instrumentalist who frankly should consider retiring so the rest of us get a chance to play something.

We open at the Foundry Theatre, following a hugely successful 2025 season at the Hayes Theatre, plus a mini-tour to the The Art House Theatre, Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, and the Canberra Theatre Centre.

So what’s the biggest difference between the show I performed at 22 and the one you’ll see now?

In 1985, there were 27 performers on stage.

In 2026, there are just five.

But before you panic and assume we’ve cut half the show — think again. Every song, every character, every ridiculous twist of this Gilbert and Sullivan classic is still there. Somehow, five performers manage to deliver the full pirate adventure — and audiences quickly forget there aren’t 27 people on stage.

Join us for a rollicking night of theatre on the high seas. It’s a strictly limited season, so book early.

I’ll see you aboard.
