Aussies Set To Wow America

David Campbell, Eskimo Joe, and Shannon Noll will take part in Australia Plays Broadway next month, a celebration of Aussie talent.

The concert extravaganza will showcase the diversity of Australian performers, with the worlds of theatre, opera, dance, symphony, rock, and cabaret all represented.

Caroline O’Connor, Christine Anu, Richard Walley, Raymond Crowe, Penbroke Orchestra, Lisa Moore, and the Australian Dance Theater will also take the stage.

Americans won’t know most of these artists, but with tickets selling from just $50 it’s worth taking a chance on some Aussie culture. Australia Plays Broadway will hit Jazz at Lincoln Centre’s Rose Theatre on January 22.
