Strictly Todd

In this warts and all story, the star of the Australian production 'The Boy from Oz' and numerous other hit shows, holds nothing back! Todd takes us from the time when, as a young boy in Western Australia, he was introduced to Queen Elizabeth who exclaimed, "Oh" as she gave him a quick glance up and down, with a sideways look at the girls on each side of him, "you do stand out in the crowd", adding with a smile "you are rather outnumbered aren't you?", to the tortuous years of striving...

In this warts and all story, the star of the Australian production 'The Boy from Oz' and numerous other hit shows, holds nothing back! Todd takes us from the time when, as a young boy in Western Australia, he was introduced to Queen Elizabeth who exclaimed, "Oh" as she gave him a quick glance up and down, with a sideways look at the girls on each side of him, "you do stand out in the crowd", adding with a smile "you are rather outnumbered aren't you?", to the tortuous years of striving to reach the top. He's known as the honest judge when he appears on Dancing with the Stars, a Channel Seven Network hit, because he tells it as it is - and in this outrageously funny, dramatic and sometimes sad memoir, we begin to discover the real Todd McKenny. We can laugh with him at stories such as the time when he collapsed during a performance of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, only to come round to find himself being tended to by a doctor/actor dressed as a giant emu in fishnet stockings and stilettos. Todd takes us, for the first time, into his 'dark time' - a period he wished he could forget, but which haunts him to this day. But there's joy, too, as he tells in hilarious detail his angst and ultimate pleasure after he, an openly gay man, fathered a child with an actress. We share his highs and his supreme disappointments. So, let the curtain come up on the life and times of Todd McKenney.
