AN enthralled first night audience delighted to the artistry of one of Australia’s most accomplished leading ladies, Toni Lamond, when she premiered her new act, “Woman On The Move”, at the School of Arts Cafe last night.

Toni, returning to the cafe after a triumphant tour of Australia with Pirates of Penzance, astonished her audience with an outstanding performance of carefully selected songs and special material - some familiar, others rather rarer - which displayed to perfection the theatrical skills which have made her a legend in the entrainment industry.

Well known for her skills as a comedienne, Toni also demonstrated not only her superb singing voice, but in a series of testing theatre songs, her mastery of deftly manipulating her audience through the whole gamut of emotions from laughter to tears and back again.

Her skilfully modulated performance was wonderfully enhanced by the skills of Canberra pianist, Tony Magee, who provided sensitive and imaginative accompaniments for the outstanding program.

Toni Lamond will present four more performances of “Woman On The Move” from tonight until Saturday.
