It’s raining Jen

The long-range forecast is for fun, flashbacks and fashion when ABC’s revered weather presenter Jenny Woodward brings her one-woman stage show to The J Noosa.

Weathering Well is a potted history of the life and times of the popular presenter who chalks up 35 years with the national broadcaster in 2021.

Combining comedy, live music, video projections and a killer script with Jenny’s natural wit and charm, Weathering Well is an 80-minute autobiographical theatre experience with a high probability of intriguing anecdotes and behind-the-scenes revelations.

“I’m also going to talk about hairstyles and fashion and how they’ve changed over the years and I’ve got some fairly startling photos which I am going to share. There’s a lot of, “oh my God, what was I thinking?!” Jenny revealed.

“It won’t be all about me! Australia has some really interesting weather history and there’s one particular character I’m going to spend a bit of time on, Clement Wragge, who was one of the founders of weather forecasting in Australia.”

While the spotlight is firmly trained on the first lady of meteorology, Jenny will be joined on the stage by Jake Bristow on keyboard, underscoring the show.

“I think having a live musician on stage will give the whole show a more theatrical edge,” she said.

“Oh, we might have a little sing at the end! It’s the kind of thing I don’t think people would expect me to do.”

The show will take place on Thursday 26 August from 7.30pm.

Tickets to Weathering Well are on sale from $49. Visit www.thej.com.au/weathering-well/
