Last night's 4th annual Rob Guest Endowment concert was slick: well produced, well directed and peppered with some of the country's most loved musical theatre artists.

Six finalists and members of the casts of South Pacific, Legally Blonde, Wicked and Forum joined host Bert Newton in acknowledging the importance of fostering young people's dreams through this wonderful initiative, set up by the ANZ Trustees Foundation.

This year, finalist Glenn Hill walked away with the coveted $10, 000 talent development g
