Mr. McKenney
shot to fame with his acclaimed portrayal of Peter Allen in the Australian
musical "The Boy From Oz" and his performances in that musical have
gone down in the annals of indelible Australian performances. His
performance won him a string of awards including two MO Awards, the
Variety Club Heart Award, the Glugg Award, the Green Room Award, the
Australian Dance Award and most recently The Helpmann Award.
Since "The
Boy From Oz," Todd has toured nationally in the acclaimed David Atkins
production of "Singing In The Rain" in which he recreated the Gene
Kelly role, and recently triumphed as the MC in the Sam Mendes production
of the musical "Cabaret." Meantime, Todd has had to put his cabaret
career on hold.

for such productions as "Annie," "Evita," and "Les Miserables."
