0:00.0	What makes a man leave beautiful Sydney in Australia to seek his fortune overseas?
0:08.2	Because as far as I'm concerned, if you've ever been to Sydney, you would say, hmm, I'm home, I'm happy, I'm not leaving.
0:16.2	But Adam Garcia did just that, and it's all worked out rather well. He's currently playing Cractic
0:22.9	Spots in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang touring around the country. It sounds like a joyous theatrical
0:29.7	experience. We'd never met before but as is so often the case we got on like a house on fire.
0:35.7	Turns out we had several mutual friends. I think
0:40.4	you're going to really enjoy listening to this. What a nice man he is. And we have stories here of

2:12.0	sort of hyperbole. It's the most fun I've had on stage. Is it? It really is. It is, and I never, I knew it was going to be a good show. And I've seen the show. And obviously there's the movie. But I never knew how much fun I could have. Well, I've done lots of really great shows. But this one is just, it's, there's something about it. It's a ride. Yeah. It's a great big ride.
