Nyssa's family owns a Dairy Farm on Cundle Plains, which is east of Kundle Kundle, round the corner from Cundle Flat near Cundle Town (but thats obvious).   Growing up, there wasn't much to do, except chat to the cows and listen to her mother sing Brahms, so it's no wonder she always dreamt of being an opera singer. 

​

Singing in the paddocks, the cows were an excellent audience until one day, Nyssa decided she had built up enough confidence to "moove" to the big smoke and chase her dreams. Instead however, she discovers pop music, karaoke, Beyoncè, party drugs and a world of possible new dreams that she never knew existed!

 

Luckily though, with the help of some encouraging moo's (not to be confused with boo's) from her audience members, our Cabaret Cowgirl discovers that its OK for women to be more than just one thing and it might be possible... just maybe... for more than one of them to come true. 

"Seriously fun... lapped up by the crowd"

"Showcases Nyssa Milligan’s maturity beyond her years and the sort of fresh naivety that can only come from someone early in their career"
