Raving It Up

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Rave It Up TV, not long before GREASE was announced.

Much was shared.  Not just about what I’m up to career-wise, but my background, thoughts on mental health, the entertainment industry and lots more.  There’s even a cheeky game at the end too.

For anyone wanting a bit more of an in-depth look into what I’m about, this is worth checking out.  You can either watch the interview above, or listen to the podcast here.

Broadway World Australia Awards

 

barry-conrad-best-actor-in-a-musical

So it turns out a little musical I wrapped earlier this year called VIOLET has been nominated for 12 Broadway World Australia Awards.  Including myself for Best Actor in a Musical.

Considering the ridiculous amount of talent here, and VIOLET being my first musical ever, I’m humbled at the recognition.

Would love for you guys to click the pic and sing a vote our way.

GREASE: The Arena Experience

grease-arena-experience

Oh man, it was hard keeping this one quiet.

I’m beyond stoked to finally share that I’ve joined the cast of GREASE: The Arena Experience, playing Kenickie!

What a privilege to share this ride with such an ace group of people and be part of something so iconic.  That I get to reunite with my friend, Dami Im, too (who I did The X-Factor with) makes it even sweeter.

We kick off our national tour in Brisbane next April, so grab your tickets here and see ya there!

BroadwayWorld.com Review

Barry-Conrad-Emily-Monsma-Hairspray.jpg

“Highest praise must go to Barry Conrad for his portrayal of Seaweed J. Stubbs, the smooth moving son of Motormouth Maybelle, activist for equal rights and the end of segregation.  His performance was outstanding.  This man can sing, dance, act and does so with effortless charm and swank.”

Thanks BroadwayWorld.com for coming to see Hairspray in Adelaide and for the kind words.  To read the whole review, click the pic above.
