Colleague Review
“Nadia is by far one of the greatest shining lights on the Gold Coast and in Queensland in the contemporary music world, particularly in children’s performance. Her children’s performance work is always extremely popular with our audiences and really well received. The Treasure of Captain Curlylocks would be an excellent part of any theatre’s annual program or Festival season.”
