June 2026

Kicking off with the first announce of what will be an epic national tour (stay tuned) on Saturday 20 June at Kingston City Hall in Moorabbin, Cavaleri’s Growing Pains Theatre tour will journey across regional Australia, moving through to Mildura, Swan Hill, Pakenham, St Kilda, East Gippsland, Wonthaggi, Nunawading, Portland, Hamilton, Ararat, Warrnambool, and Taree, before completing the extensive run at Avoca Beach Theatre on Saturday 28 November.

In this deeply personal and emotionally charged solo show, told by Cavaleri through story and song, Cavaleri skilfully weaves music and storytelling into a powerful narrative that traces his life from busking in Campbelltown to the heights of stardom, the depths of anxiety and burnout, and the eventual rediscovery of purpose and passion.

Flipping the script on a regular live music show, Cavaleri explains, “Reliving these experiences on stage is like nothing else. It’s a scary thing putting your heart out there and revisiting some of life’s most sensitive moments in front of a crowd, but when we’re all crying, laughing and blissing out together, it reminds me that beneath it all, we have so much in common. That’s what makes this show feel so profound and cathartic for all.”

By age 12, Cavaleri was at the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna. By 16, he’d toured the world with B.B. King, played the Kennedy Centre in front of the Clintons during their time in office, and shared stages with icons like Etta James and Bonnie Raitt, all while becoming a familiar face to millions across Australia and the US.

But while the spotlight beamed bright, a much quieter struggle was playing out behind the scenes. At its core, Growing Pains is not about fame – it’s about being human. The ache of identity. The grind of expectation. The fight to come home to yourself.

Raw, funny, and ultimately uplifting, Growing Pains transcends nostalgia. It’s a soulful, real-time reckoning with the highs, lows, and healing that define a life lived out loud.
