This is Todd McKenney, he is an Aussie through and through. Although he did audition to play the role when the show went to Broadway in 2003, but lost to Hugh Jackman. So he stuck around here and performed in hit musical after hit musical for us!! :)
Perfect capturing of the Man, the Song and the quintessential Aussie Bloke which , after all, is what this song is all about + more. Great,most perfect, performance.
I was one of the last Young Peters in this production in 1998, i would love to see more footage of this if there is any. someone has this pro shot! Todd was and still is a class act and one of the greatest Aussie showmen!
This young gentleman gave one hell of a performance in the Oz telefilm about Peter. I hope he sees a long and varied career ahead of him. He does a fantastic job with "Tenderfield" in this stage performance. Thank you for sharing this clip.
Just beautiful.The Australian cast album of Boy From Oz is a masterpiece. Todd was beyond brilliant in this role. Its sad he didn’t get to do it on Broadway. Hugh was also magnificent but Todd was a teeny bit better x
Having seen both the Original Australian Production of Boy From Oz and then seeing the Broadway Version, the Musical was a vastly different work. Actually this Song was cut from Broadway, though it had featured in its out of town try outs. I enjoyed each Version of the show but i felt the Original version really was the superior.
I go to school on high street and I've been to the library I live in Tenterfield I work at the visitors center and I've seen the miracers the things that u shake idk what there called I'm 12 I've been to the saddler ect
Might be just me, but I think Todd McKenney does a much better job singing this and all of Peter Allen's songs than Hugh Jackman ever did!!! Should have done the Musical not Hugh!!!!

The best and he should have been on Broadway!!!
i saw the boy from oz show when in Brisbane in 2000. unforgettable experience.
Absolutely wonderful sing & performance by Todd McKenny.
Hugh conquered America in The Boy From Oz, and 300 million people will never know they got second best.

It was cut because the American market cant handle a song about suicide. That is what it came down to.
wow 😍

Chris Abbott Love your work! :)
I know todd from high school
Beautiful song even though I am a kiwi
Lol
The only thing that seperates Aussies from Kiwis is the Tasman. We're more alike than we are different.
