All told through a list of all the wonderful, beautiful and delicious things – big, small and everything in between – that make life worth living.

“Every shiny thing tackles a serious subject, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration,” Macmillan said. “Each performance is unique and unpredictable and requires virtuoso skills from its central performer. When Daniel told us how much he loved the piece, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. He has the intelligence, quick wit and charm to get caught up in the spontaneous moments the show invites – he can be a clown one moment, then grab you by the heart the next. He has great depth and great humanity. I can’t wait to get started.
