Rohan Browne is

A leading man without the household name of Adam Garcia, but so deserving of leading man status.

Rohan Browne was a brilliant replacement for Adam Garcia in certain performances of Singin in the Rain in Sydney. As Garcia has pulled out a window opened for Browne. He was the absolute bees knees in Strictly Ballroom (a show I have to be honest with you dear readers I had a bit to do with) as Ken Railings.

Browne has been a star performer for years now and also appeared on one of my favourite Australian TV shows Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Browne is one of those nice guys in an industry of cunt rags that you really want to see do well for themselves. This is evident from his Instagram account and his expressed love of the new record (or project) by Frank Ocean.

After seeing the downright horrid first act of Anything Goes a musical based around the same time as Singin in the Rain this was a huge improvement.

Anything Goes was one of those horrid passion projects that to me was something that maybe would have been okay in the 1970's but it is 2016 (I did however see this in 2015). Singin in the Rain is outdated (yes) and some of the laughs are cheap thrills (hey Sia) but really Singin in the Rain looked a million bucks in comparison to the lacklustre production of Anything Goes.

Musicals are a big gamble these days and for young talented actors like Rohan Browne there is no shortage of work despite shows like We Will Rock You cancelling it's final two seasons after a fairly tough East Coast run.

It's hard to say where Musicals will be in five years as Australians embrace Netflix, Deliveroo, Foodora and anything online which keeps Australians indoors and out from spending money at a local theatre.

If I had a choice and it was still Winter, I would rather stay home and watch the Get Down again instead of venturing out into the cool.

In my mid thirties it takes a handsome devil like Rohan to get me out of the house.

Well done Rohan you helped (along with the lovely Nadia Coote) the ageing product of a Hollywood musical into 2016, however will kids give up Pokemon Go and photographing their meals to venture into the theatre is yet to be seen? Or maybe they are all at Aladdin. Cause let's face it the average age at Singin in the Rain was 75 to death row.
