"The Merry Bronhill"...An Afternoon Delight
A wonderful tribute to an Australian star...June Bronhill.
This brand new show celebrates the fascinating life of June Bronhill. The production is packed with hit songs as performed by June throughout her illustrious career.
June was Also the pioneer of Morning Music in Australia having been the first artist to perform and sellout two Melbourne Concert Hall performances in 1984, when her then friend Betty Pounder rang her ask if she would be interested in performing in a trial 11am concert....It was a resounding success and Morning Melodies was born.
Promac Productions has written essentially the June Bronhill Story..from her early days in Broken Hill (hence Bronhill) to her stellar career in Europe, UK and Australia. Its a fascinating story narration of a young girl from Broken Hill travelling overseas, after her entire town had raised funds to get her there, to her making her debut for the Saddlers Wells Opera Company in London in Marriage of Figaro to becoming an overnight sensation for her portrayal as Maria in The Sound Of Music on Londons Westend and subsequently then triumphantly in Australia.
But we all know that it was Lehars The Merry Widow that catapulted June right around the world and the beautiful "Vilia" was quickly dubbed "Junes Tune".
