Star studded Christmas Concerts return to Stonnington

It wouldn’t be Christmas without some caroling and you don’t get much better than Stonnington’s much-loved free concert series bringing plenty of Christmas cheer for local residents and beyond.

Before all the festive fun kicks off we grabbed some of the celebs singing up a storm and got them to join us on MAD Wednesday at JOY. Euan Doidge (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Kinky Boots) and Blake Appelqvist (also form Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Kinky Boots) joined Dean and Michael on JOY to tell us all about it.

The festivities begin with Family Christmas at Central Park to be held on Sunday 9 December from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Central Park, Malvern East. Hosted by musical theatre sensation Lucy Durack (Wicked, Legally Blonde), this year’s event will feature incredible performances by Emily Williams (Australian Idol), Bobby Fox (Jersey Boys, Riverdance, Mamma Mia) and Euan Doidge (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Kinky Boots).

One of the largest free Christmas concerts in Victoria, Carols at Como Park will be held the following week on Sunday 16 December from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Como Park, South Yarra. Hosted by one of Australia’s most popular actors, presenters and all-round funnymen Shane Jacobson, this star-studded line-up will be headlined by Australian Idol and I’m A Celebrity winner Casey Donovan and feature unmissable performances by Genevieve Kingsford (The Light of Piazza, Brigadoon), Blake Appelqvist (Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Kinky Boots) and Josh Piterman (The Ten Tenors, West Side Story, Cats).
