“I have been going to concerts, opera and theatre for more than 50 years and I have to say the Concert at Mandurah was probably the most enjoyable I have ever been to. You were all marvellous, great singing, fun and beautifully put together. I have never seen a pianist like Rebecca play with so much feeling and skill and your Nessun Dorma was the best ever including the backdrop and I think the audience was close to a standing ovation. It was a wonderful selection of music! Brilliant!”

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
A very big THANK YOU to the both of you for your valuable assistance and patience for the past few months! The performance went well and the guests and clients were blown away! It was a lovely New Year’s Eve countdown. The show went off really well. I will send over some pictures to you when they are in. Kate was a great help in facilitating the show production and took care of the group without having much worries on our part. That was really helpful! Wayne, Danielle and the band had a good chemistry, the music charts were really helpful and it’s been such a wonderful experience working with Wayne and his team and the both of you.

We were fortunate to hire Pot-Pourri through Music Theatre Australia, a group of extremely talented and professional musical performers and they were a very important element to the success of our event.
Pot-Pourri was able to tailor the performances to the event theme and entertain a wide variety of people. The group are natural crowd pleasers whose charm brought the atmosphere of the evening to its climax whenever they appeared”

“The Real Mexico were great on the Canon gig – they really set the night off, and had quite a few of the group up and dancing – or at least shaking maraccas! – and got everyone into the Mexican groove that we wanted to create. They looked superb and the music was excellent – pitched just right, they really worked the audience well and I couldn’t be happier.
Please thank them from me, and from Canon, for a great performance. And of course, thanks for all your help in getting it all organised – I’ll definitely be using MTA again for entertainment bookings, you were fantastically easy to deal with, and delivered exactly what we needed. ”

“Not only was it a spectacular show of the highest standard, it also prepared the team for what was to come. Our decision to utilise a singing workshop as a team building exercise was a significant step for a relatively conservative team. The most obvious element was the total commitment and involvement of the entire team and their interaction with each of the performers. It is still remarkable to me the long lasting impact that a two hour session can have on each and every one of us. Many of us were challenged by the process and all of us were surprised at the way in which we could come together and generate a more acceptable sound with some basic instruction. The Pot-Pourri team made this happen in a fun and relaxing environment”
