Daniel was the Musical Director of the acclaimed 2019/20 Australian tour of Chicago: The Musical.
"The orchestra (here excellently led by Daniel Edmonds) is imagined as part of the set”
– Artshub“The entire production is also held together by a strong score which is under the skillful conduction and musical direction of Daniel Edmonds. Having the band on stage throughout the entirety of the production captures the jazz club theme that holds the various tracks together, and allows the brassy sound to carry further throughout the space, as well as serving as the primary set piece for the show. Moments of interaction between conductor, band and the cast throughout the show are a nice touch that endears the performance further in the eyes of the audience.”
– Nicola Bennett“…the 14-piece orchestra under the musical direction of conductor Daniel Edmonds is strong and jazzy, with all the razzle dazzle anyone could hope for.”
Carrie Kablean“Musical director Daniel Edmonds, a very good sport for his level of participation in the stage action, helms a smoking hot orchestra of 14 musicians. The orchestra cuts loose in the act two “Entr’acte,” also on fire for “Hot Honey Rag.” As a measure of success, the majority of opening night patrons lingered to enjoy the playout, which drew further applause.”
– Simon Parris“A special mention also goes to musical director Daniel Edmonds, who as well as expertly conducting the excellent on-stage 14 piece orchestra also shows his acting abilities albeit very briefly!”
