Tim says: “I’ve always loved Adelaide. From playing with Eddie Perfect at the Cabaret Festival, through shows in tents in the Garden of Unearthly Delights, to playing with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, to having Matilda the Musical play at Adelaide Festival Centre, I have always loved the gigs, the audiences, and the place. It’s a huge honour to be represented star-shaped in your pavement.”
The prestigious Walk of Fame will initially include more than 130 names and will be extended annually. A full list can be seen here.

We’re delighted to reveal the cover of the US edition of When I Grow Up, the magical new picture book inspired by Tim’s hit song from the multi-award-winning Matilda the Musical. The book imagines life from a child’s viewpoint, with all the humour and poignancy of the song.

When I Grow Up is illustrated by Steve Antony, an internationally published, award-winning author and illustrator of many picture books, including the Mr Panda series.
Each cover, for the three editions, is slightly different but infused with the same playful energy and imagination for which When I Grow Up is so beloved.

This month, Tim will receive the Qantas Orry-Kelly Award at this year’s Australians in Film Awards!
The award celebrates an Australian who has contributed to Australia’s national identity and created opportunities and inspiration for other Australians internationally.
Tim: “It is a huge thrill to be acknowledged by Australians in Film. When my family and I moved to LA from London, the organization played a big role in helping us connect to the brilliant community of Aussies living and working here. In a town as brutal as Hollywood, these connections have been vital to our survival. To now be honored by AiF for my various (and often not particularly conventional) efforts is just incredibly lovely.”broadwayworld.com
