Fabulous

Wow!

Was that acting real!?

Wow that was brilliant from Colleen. Brought me to tears and pulled at my heartstrings. Wonderful performance. Thanks for sharing as I would never have had the extreme pleasure of seeing this otherwise ♥️

Brilliant!

What a gift. Colleen is a monument.

Such a powerful performance by Colleen. Must have been a show stopper live.

This song can often sound sentimental and soppy ..but not here ..WOW Show stopper moment.

I saw one of the Wallendas do a circus routine to this song. Spooky.

Everytime i watch this i just think (Fark Colleen you are amazing )

Hugh Jackman? Is this the same guy who played Wolverine?

Magnificent!

Colleen Hewitt delivers a brilliant, show-stopping version of this great song.

National Treasure.

Oh YES! I've loved EVERYTHING Colleen Hewitt sings. She has such a perfect, powerful voice. She sings this straight from the heart. STUNNING!

Wow !!!

what an incredible beautiful beautiful woman..outstanding..!!

I saw this show at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and heard some of Oz's finest talent: Hugh Jackman, Chrissie Amphlett etc., but when Colleen as Peter's mom delivered this song, I realised this is truly what great singing is all about. We, the audience wept, cheered, and felt her love!

I immensely enjoyed Boy from Oz. Sensational Show.* * * * * Best cast of entertainers.

How brilliant is Colleen. AMAZING rendition of this song. Thanks for posting this.

now that's how to sing with emotion beautiful

It's the Story of Peter Allen. You may remember him singing "When I go to Rio" Dressed quite flamboyantly in a midriff revealing top with frilly sleeves. sitting sideways at the piano and belting it out. A BIG production......Great stuff!! The 'Boy from Oz' is about his life, his marriage to Liza Minnelli, his being Gay, and his eventual death from Aides. A very beautiful story

Thats how to act a song brilliant. So sick of trying to teach my students forget about the singing and act it.

Almost all of Peter Allens songs are autobiographical and the musical is based on Peter's life. It's about Peter Allen, words and music by Peter Allen. Check Wikipedia for his biography.

what is the story of the boy from Oz? who's the composer?

wow i saw this Live in Brisbane! wow! so cool you ha e this video online! :) thanks

@magottyk Along with Carole Bayer Sager.

WOW! Peter would love this version! Kudo's to Collen Hewitt. Thanks for a great posting, had it not been for you I'd had never heard this one! God can she sing!

@Coley8 No.

Colleen hewwit no wonder it was so good.

@Coley8 nope peter allen wrote it

Let's see this show in Britain

Didn't Melissa Manchester write the lyrics for this song?

Getting a record of THE BOY FROM OZ, i realised that I have been singing a lot of PETER ALLEN songs. I just didn't know that it was his. I knew that it was sung by this artist or that artist. Then all of a sudden, it is there in the life story of PETER ALLEN. Thank you PETER for the gift of your music.

i know dylan- he's a family friend!!

do u have the video of Hugh singing I Still Call Australia Home at the 2006 Boy From Oz Melbourne

I hate to say this but that was no way near as good as the boy on Broadway!! The backflip was fantastic!

soooo good wow! The feeling itr was incredible

Reminds us to be greatful for the music and the life of Peter Allen. This is one of the many great songs he had written in his life. Peter we are still missing you all these years later.

very moving performance

The Musical The Boy From Oz is based on PeterAllen's life. The ups and the downs and how he left us way to soon. Oz is a referance to Australia not the Wizard Of Oz books or movies. Peter Allen was one of the greatest performers who died way to young and wrote hundreds of wonderful songs. Thank God the new singers of this generation have discovered his music and are singing them again. For as long as the music is sung the writer is never forgotten

Oz is a nickname for Australia. It has nothing to do with the other stories.

I think this was from the Australia arena tour...?
