It’s only a small thing, but I’m a fan of both Australian indigenous languages and musicals (and, thanks to X-Men, of Hugh Jackman as well). All three show up together in Jackman’s one-man show on Broadway, says ABC Online.
Olive Knight sings in the show, Back on Broadway, and taught Jackman to sing in Walmajarri.
I’m happy for an Australian language to get that publicity, and even more so for it to come through one of its own people. I hope Olive Knight gets the recognition she deserves.
