Music

If Music City's airport should bear anyone's name, it's Dolly Parton's. No Tennessean has done more to better more people's lives or to promote a positive view of our state than this humble woman from the Appalachians.

I am an autistic homeschooled person, without the internet I'd have zero friends. If this ban happens, I am willing to bet that depression and suicide rates will go up. Under 16's will be so isolated.

I have seen Hadestown in LA as well during the North American tour. It was absolutely lovely. Then I saw the show here in Melbourne. It changed my life. The second it ended, there was a standing ovation that might have gone on forever if Hermes hadn’t stopped it. The world deserves to hear them… they’re perfect. 🙏🏻

I saw Hadestown Australia in Melbourne last week, not knowing much about it. Needless to say, since then I have been searching for any recordings I can find of the Australian cast. The story is beautiful as always, but acknowledging the hard work and talent of our musicians, artists and actors is incredibly important. A recording would cement this, and also be a beautiful memento for long and short time fans.

I went into the theatre, with a very bare knowledge of hadestown and by the time I left the theatre I was sobbing! It’s my favourite musical I have ever seen! I have listen to the OBC recording over and over the past weeks/months and while they are phenomenal, it would be incredible to hear our Aussie cast over and over again. I’m still in absolute awe of the show❤️🌹

Truly this musical is one of a kind. Not only does this show deserve to have its own musical audio recorded but most shows that come to Australia! This show and many others have saved my life in darkest times.

was fortunate enough to see Hadestown AU at theatre royal sydney twice, I would have gone every night if humanly possible and would have lined up and paid for an Australian cast recording every time!! preserving and honouring such an incredible cast is the least we can do

Went to Melbourne opening night not knowing anything about this show ( took my musical loving daughter) once the show was finished I 100% would have lined back up for a record copy of the Australian version I had just witnessed... please get this done..

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Joshua Blair, and I’m writing to express my sincere hope that the St.George branch at Kogarah might be reopened. This branch has always been more than just a place to do banking — it’s been a vital part of our local community. Many people, including myself, valued the personal service, familiar faces, and the convenience of having a trusted local branch to visit when needed. Its closure has left a real gap for many in our area, especially for those who rely on face-to-face support.

I understand the challenges of balancing business decisions with community needs, but I truly believe reopening the Kogarah branch would show a strong commitment to the people who have supported St.George for years. I know I’m not alone in this — many in our community would welcome its return with open arms. Thank you for your consideration, and I would love the opportunity to support this effort in any way I can.

Sincerely,
Joshua Blair

St George bank auditorium was a wonderful venue for so many events. I miss the community spirit. We watched 2 drama and a choir and dance Performance annually and it is central to everything and kogarah station. I don't think there's another theatre anywhere that a hospital patient could duck down for an event. It has great facilities for performers and audiences both on the amphitheatre and foyer. When it was closed for renovation , if we had known the possibility was ot wouldn't reopen we would have been petitioning then
