HOLLYWOOD FRINGE 2026
JOE HUTCHESON
Wonderful. Intriguing story with beautiful music. A very interesting and well told story told through monologue and song. I was sad when it was over!…
HEATHER MACDONALD
All These Pretty Things is an incredible story. Tracey is thoughtful, sharp and deeply engaging. It’s easy to see why she is an Adelaide Fringe Winner. Its a 5 star, must see show!!

I felt at ease – like I knew I was in the really good hands of someone who could take me on a journey and back home safe again.
Tracey doesn’t hide from the pain but goes straight into it – fleshing out uncomfortable moments, sitting in the discomfort, plucking notes on the piano in solitude – so that when she finally brings us back into the light and we feel her take flight, her triumph becomes our own.
Clearly an artist in command of her instruments, Tracey soars from stories, to song and break-out moments with such ease and panache you feel like you are watching someone who has been doing this for lifetimes.

All These Pretty Things wasn't originally on my HFF schedule, but after hearing so many glowing recommendations, I decided to catch it since I arrived at the theater early. I'm so glad I did. This is a deeply moving story of unimaginable heartbreak, told with honesty, humor, and grace. As I fought back tears (and even a little anger at times), I also found myself laughing thanks to Tracey's sharp wit and engaging storytelling. The show is beautifully elevated with original music, with Ms. Yarad delivering each song with considerable emotion and vocal ability. Do yourself a favor, buy the ticket and see this show. You won't regret it.

Wonderful hour well-spent.
DANNIELLE D'ANDREA
The best live show I’ve seen in years! Needs its own theatre all around the world! AND it needs to be a television series! WOW!!! What a masterpiece!! To turn such an insanely sad story and real life situation into this show and come out the other end with a whole new outlook on life and to start again with so much to pull from and do it in such a brilliant way, I take my hat and my coat off to Tracey Yarad! Every aspect of her show, from the songs, the story telling, the musicianship, to the laughter and the tears! Do yourselves a favor and get tickets now!!! What a ride!! .
DAN RUTH
Tracy Yarad's autobiographical "All These Pretty Things," it's both heartbreaking and uplifting in its simplicity and grace. Ms. Yarad is an incredible song stylist with a beautiful voice, who navigates bravely through dark waters and spins her sorrows into pure theatrical gold. Not to be missed!.
HAROLD PAYNE
Every moment of this deeply confessional but resilient story felt perfectly thought out -- yet somehow like it was being told with "first time" passion. It artfully danced between music & story to create a riveting 60 minute masterpiece.

T (Emotional Rollercoaster)
Brilliant stroytelling. Most beautiful vocals and all-around talent.
Gail S. (Standing Ovation)
Tracey Yarad was moving and emotional and so so memorable I went twice.
Deanna M. (Standing Ovation)
Compelling from start to finish and an incredible roller coaster ride of emotions. This finely crafted one-woman-show was a stad out performance for me. When faced with matrimonial betrayal Yarad could have easily curled up, retreated and battened down the hatches. But no..this lady chose to lay herself bare and to tell the world her story as it is. Skilfully done too both musically and dramatically. Huge respect!
MICHELLE H. (Hidden Gem)
A great storyteller through narrative and song. A story of betrayal and finding your way back to yourself. A beautiful voice and a totally believable story. Highly recommend.
MEGAN W. (Hidden Gem)
A beautiful show delivered by a great performer with wisdom, warmth, and wit. Tracey is a confident and accomplished performer and creates an atmosphere of intimacy and camaraderie. I audibly gasped at times as the sledgehammer of the story unfolded. The fact that Tracey has made her way through and carries sherself with such dignity, grace and generosity is a testament to her spirit. A spirit that infuses her show and leaves you feeling inspired by the hope of new beginnings.
CARMEN D (Emotional Rollercoaster)
Tracey takes you on a musical. You will laugh, you may cry, but you will definiltey have an evening you won't forget filled with storytelling and original songs from an artist who has worked with the best. Highly recommend.
DEAD DARLING T.
Beautiful storytelling. Most beautiful vocals and all-around talent!
LESLEY H. (Hidden Gem)
Moving, emotional, witty, exceptional storytelling. Loved it!
JACKIE N. (Hidden Gem)
So polished.
MICHAEL H. (Standing Ovation)
The must see hidden gem of this years fringe.
STEPHANIE P. (Hidden Gem)
An authentic journey told with original songs and expert storytelling. A gem!
AMBER W. (Hidden Gem)
What a fantastic show, saw it last year and this year the show is even better! The reality of this journey is heart wrenching but Tracey has come so far and is able to share the growth that can happen even after something so devastating. What a woman, what a story, what a show. So glad we made time for it again. I feel better….

CLAIRE COULL
This is an amazing show. I saw it a week ago but am still thinking and talking about it. I was captivated by Tracey throughout and really felt all her emotions. The mix of storytelling and songs was perfect and her singing voice is beautiful. I laughed and I cried as many of my friends have been through similar scenarios so it really resonated . Go see this show NOW as it finishes on Friday.
CLARE
My god this woman has lived a life and then some! She puts it to music excellently and her voice is incredible- so soulful at times, so bright and clear at others, and her traumas and triumphs were so beautifully articulated- brilliantly affirming that you can start life all over again at any age and thrive- would recommend!
SUJ

A beautifully performed show with a powerful performance - both in signing and acting- by Tracey Yarad. An emotional piece of work with some beautifully crafted comedy moments that lighten up the story and give a positive angle to the piece. Beautiful singing and powerful storytelling!

A beautiful story told with such clarity. She has a truly wonderful voice, but it is the way in which she tells her story that makes the show a must-see.
MICKEY PIERCE
Wow, Wow, Wowzers! This one woman show exposes heart, tears and joy! Tracey opens her soul allowing a 'human 2 human' connection. Leave inspired to live life boldly!
JAMES G
This is a MUST SEE! An exercise in turning lemons into lemonade that is deeply moving.
RAE PANTALLERESCO
One of my favourite things is hanging out with someone, sharing a cuppa, and going deep to raw authenticity in conversation. This is just that, except on a stage in front of crowd. There is healing in stories through the connection they create. Thank you!
OURIDA
Is going to open your human heart widely like a Björk’s ‘Black Lake’ and heal it at the same time with humor and strength. Intensely moving, humble and a beautiful celebration of the feminine energy.
TANIA
An unforgettable performance … pure, enchanting voice and masterful piano skills. Her storytelling is nothing short of extraordinary, weaving together a tapestry of emotions that takes you on a profound journey.
MIA PELOSI
This show was absolutely stunning! It follows a woman’s story of redemption and reclamation told through a beautiful web of singing and story. The story captures your heart and gives you hope for something better. Go check it out!!
PAUL COOPER
Must must must watch. Fantastic story telling. So much so you can visualise what she is saying as if it's a movie. Hidden gem in the middle of the fringe.

An absolute must see performance. Extraordinary artistry and nothing short of a masterpiece. Captivating story telling [painting] a canvas of human emotions as they can only be portrayed from personal experience. Deeply relatable and unforgettable.

A masterclass in courage and vulnerability. Stunning vocals, deeply personal songwriting and an experience to show us there is always magic possible on the other side of trauma.
