His PhD on the politically of song in the musical is currently under examination.

Matt Hadgraft
A Ham from Queensland, Matt started singing in St John’s Cathedral Choir and can’t be stopped. He studied music at the Queensland Conservatorium and is determined to make Musicology “a thing.” He has performed all around Eastern Australia in theatres, which were often occupied at the time, notably in ABBALive: Australia’s Ultimate ABBA Show, as Benny. He moved to Melbourne in 2012 to hone his brand of performance, indistinguishable from attention-seeking. He refuses to give up on his cabarets Ham, Classy As All Of Youse, Matt Gets His Act Together, Peter Allen Live in Inverted Commas, and Elton John – Your Song, which won cabaret of the week for its lone week at the 2020 FringeWorld Perth. He used to play Sassurday piano bar, MC Burlesque Nights, and was MD for MLOC’s Jesus Christ Superstar and The Boy From Oz. He is one of JTM Productions’ Two Piano Men. He’ll schlep together a backing if you need one.
An appalling gardener and even worse scientist, Matt used to be a grammar nut but couldn’t handle the workload.
Adrian Glaubert
Adrian is an extremely accomplished operatic tenor whose presence has graced the stages of international opera houses to critical acclaim.
Adrian received his Bachelor of Music Performance from the Victorian College of the Arts and attained his Masters of Music (Opera) from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
