  One of the all-time greats: That just about sums her up!

  Byjohnflynn,Jun 04, 2006

  Toni Lamond is fantastic. What else can one really say on the subject?
  
  
  
  I fell in love with Toni when I first saw her in the EssGee production of Pirates of Pinzance. I am in love with this muscial - I know all the songs, and can just about repeat the whole thing. Backwards. And Toni is probably the best thing in it. I was very disapointed that she didn't appear in the Aniversary tour that they did. She is brilliant, and over-reacts to everything, and wails like you wouldn't believe. And when she breaks character and gets the giggles with Jon English.... like I said, I'm a bit of a fan!
  
  
  
  I haven't really seen Toni is much else. However, I did catch her in Spicks and Specks, and one again she was amazing. She has a real knack for story telling, and can pull brilliant faces.
  
  
  
  Toni has had a wide and varied career, and has earnt every ounce of her success. One of Australia's greats.moreless
