#579 The Boy From Oz - Todd McKenney

Summary: What am I going to talk to the grumpy judge from Dancing with the Stars about? I wondered. The bloke who wrote and starred in The Boy from Oz? I wondered. The bloke who starred in 42nd Street, The Pirates of Penzance, Camelot, La Cage aux Folles, Singin' in the Rain, Priscilla Queen of the Desert (the musical) and Baz Luhrmann's film, Strictly Ballroom? Well, the answer is.. plenty. We spoke a lot and laughed a lot. He's funny, real and loves dogs (big tick). Of course, he's a talented, successful and well-known performer but more than that, Todd McKenney is a genuinely interesting bloke who's done a sh*t-load, is a brilliant story-teller (no surprise), is great to chat with and I absolutely loved meeting him. Enjoy.
