If you enjoyed Chicago in 2007 your hearts will skip a beat when CQUniversity's Bachelor of Performing Arts students present their foot-tapping, all-singing and all dancing production of the Tony Award-winning musical Sweet Charity at Rockhampton's Pilbeam Theatre next week.

Professional industry mentors Wayne Scott Kermond and Katie Kermond once again join with the student company to stage this popular story of Dance Hall Hostess, eternal optimist, and unlucky romantic, Charity Hope Valentine (played by Jenna Saini).

A CQUniversity researcher has allowed a Queensland-based cyber clone website to extend their reach across the globe.

Associate Professor Brijesh Verma has developed an intelligent language classifier for the hugely successful MyCyberTwin system which will address communication problems due to language differences.

Former CQUniversity Music Theatre student Liam McIlwain has been cast in the much anticipated Disney High School Musical - Live on Stage!.

Liam, who recently turned 25, will play Ryan Evans, the vice-president of the drama club and Sharpay's downtrodden younger twin - a major role with key singing and dancing parts.

Students studying at CQUniversity Sydney and Melbourne campuses are most fortunate in having the counselling and advisory services of distinguished academic Dr Martand Shripad Joshi, Honorary Consul of India and Fellow of the Monash Asia Institute.

‘Martand', as he prefers to be called, is a most affable and charming person.
