OCTOBER
Australian music legend, Marcia Hines, and the immensely talented, Casey Donovan, have announced they will be touring together across Australia in October 2025 with a brand new show paying tribute to a global music superstar on the Marcia Sings Summer tour.
Donna Summer and Marcia Hines were both born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. They both learned to sing in their local gospel church, and both commenced their musical journey as cast members of the tribal rock musical Hair - Donna in Germany in 1968 and Marcia in Australia in 1970.
Casey Donovan auditioned for and won the 2004 season of Australian Idol at 16, the same age as Idol judge Marcia when she arrived in Sydney from Boston to star in Hair. When the opportunity came up for them to tour together 21 years later, both artists jumped at the chance to share a stage again. Casey’s lead role in Sister Act the Musical as Deloris Van Cartier, is an aspiring disco diva who so desperately wants to reach the heights of Donna Summer in the 70s.
Marcia and Casey will be joined by a killer nine-piece band, led by musical director, Joe Accaria, to perform every blistering discotheque-tinged hit – Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, MacArthur Park, Last Dance, She Works Hard for the Money, I Feel Love, Love to Love You, Baby and so many more - recorded by the undisputed global queen of disco – Donna Summer.
Donna Summer died on 17 May 2012. She was nominated for 18 Grammy Awards and amassed 16 Number 1 songs on the Billboard Singles Chart and 15 Billboard US Top Ten Albums. A cultural icon, she is acknowledged to have ‘changed the face of music’ as a result of her collaborations with producer Georgio Moroder. Her page in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lists Miss Summer as “the Diva de Tutte Divi – the first true diva of the modern pop era”.

Indigenous Storyteller’s Scholarship
Ambassador
"I am so very excited to be joining Juniper, as one of the newest ambassadors—why Juniper? Because I honestly need the help from talking to surgeons about removing my stomach, swallowing things that could swell up, or speaking with medical professionals who offer 360-wraparound care with GP's, nutritionists, dietitians, support networks, and social media communities that come together to share their stories, the ups and downs. That is why I am excited to join the Juniper community and help others remove shame and guilt—this expectation that we can't have things that help us. We can only help ourselves, and that's what I love about Juniper's programs they are catered to you and how you eat, how you move, and what you need.
They deep-dive into BMI being helpful but also having scans.
I did my first DEXA scan and got to see my skeleton!
Being told by a GP that It's all going in the right direction. How amazing is that? The weight—the literal weight—lifted off my shoulders to hear that I'm on the right track. It was the best thing-freeing, liberating. There's no shame in asking for help. I'm not ashamed. I hope that through this, you can help yourself because I want the best out of my life. A holistic and science-backed program is something I've been looking for—reducing the risk of going into hospital, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and reducing my visceral fat (the bad fat around my organs). Understanding what muscle and fat are—simplification is key—and I am very much excited to join Juniper and its community."
