In Episode 10 of Let’s Chat Showbiz, we sit down with the incredibly talented Dr. Trevor Jones.
We dive into his recent role as the Major General — along with his work as Musical Director — in The Pirates of Penzance. Trevor shares some behind-the-scenes stories, including the chaos and fun of lightning-fast costume changes. Our chat explores his career as a conductor and music educator, and what continues to drive his passion for both.
We also talk all things Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Trevor has been a fixture at the festival for over 11 years, and he reflects on how it all began, the loyal following it’s built, and some of his favourite memories — including performing with Deborah Conway and Angie Hart.
Trevor gets real about the importance of self-care in the entertainment industry — from late nights and constant travel, to managing the highs and lows that come with life on the road. He also explains the story behind “Dr. Trevor Jones,” and the pros and cons of carrying that title in showbiz.
Plus, we hear about some of the pinch-me moments in his career, like meeting his idols Michael Feinstein, John Cameron Mitchell, and the legendary Patti LuPone.
A huge thank you to Trevor for taking the time to chat with us and for sharing his stories, wisdom, and humour! This episode is packed with insight, laughs, and honest conversation — you won’t want to miss it!
