Three cheers for our former jazz dance champion Sharon Millerchip who after wowing audiences as Roxie Hart in the 2009 production of Chicago has won the Sydney Theatre Award for the best performance by an actress in a stage musical. Congratulations Sharon, Sydney Eisteddfod is proud of you! We’re always so busy, even the best news sometimes escapes us. We have now discovered that the wonderful Sharon Millerchip also won the 2009 Helpmann for the Best Female Performer in a Musical and extend belated congratulations and a chorus of loud bravos.!

Megan Evans, doyen of the Sydney community, celebrated her 90th on Australia Day. A much loved member of the Sydney Eisteddfod family, Megan bowed into the City of Sydney Eisteddfod as a 13-year-old entrant in 1933 and has been contributing to its success ever since as an accompanist, vocal coach and, most importantly, a friend. As an icon of our competition, we salute you, Megan, and wish you every happiness and good health in the years to come.
