“I’m so excited to be hitting the road for my biggest tour yet – THIS IS ME! After spending the past six years immersed in musical theatre, which I’ve absolutely loved, it feels incredible to now bring a culmination of music, theatre and performances from the past 21 years in one show, directly to the people. With over 50 dates across our beautiful country, from capital cities to regional towns, this tour has been a long time coming – and I can’t wait to share it with everyone,” says Casey.
