Describing the show’s first half, Toni said it felt like “a chocolate box of memories”.
“I’m playing the fan favourites in the first half,” she said.
“It feels like a conversation, and I let everybody know that I’m going to make love to them, while they are keeping their clothes on.
“This is a long show, but they better stick around, because it’s got a vibrational frequency.”
The second half offers a preview of three productions Toni is rolling out this decade: Reef 360, It’s All A Beautiful Noise, and Citizens of the Planet.
Toni said the retrospective had reinforced her sense of purpose.
“I’m living a magical life,” she said.
“I’ve made a honey trail and showed what’s possible when you have absolutely zero.”
The release timeframe for It's All a Beautiful Noise and Citizens of the Planet has not been confirmed, though Toni has indicated both albums are expected next year.
Tickets are priced at $79 for standard entry and $129 for a VIP Q&A session running from 6.30pm to 7pm, with VIP doors opening at 6.15pm.
