Another episode of Masked Singer, another round of guesses for what almost always ends up being an Aussie musical star. This time it’s Lucy Durack who people reckon is Cactus.
Cactus has been one of the most interesting (and dare I say… seductive) costumes of the whole season. Now, it seems all clues point to Durack. Like, pretty much all of them.
It seems the downside to being in so many different musicals is that the clues are so obvious… to some people.
If thats not Lucy Durack… #MaskedSingerAU pic.twitter.com/rA1CumwgZR

Before we get to the clues, can we take a moment to appreciate that song choice? Helen Lovejoy is quaking right now.
I can’t wait to explain to future generations that a cactus with boobs once sang about masturbation on national TV and that that wasn’t even remotely the weirdest thing to happen in 2020. #MaskedSingerAU

OK, on to the clues.
First up: Wicked. Durack was in it. The stans know.
Even with the voice distortion the Cactus sounds like Lucy Durack. Some people just have very distinctive voices. And some of us saw Wicked 18 times in Melbourne…#MaskedSingerAU

Exhibit B: Legally Blonde, the musical. If that cactus costume doesn’t give of Legally Blonde vibes, I don’t know what does.
“I’m in the pink now” and Lucy Durack played glinda….. #MaskedSingerAU

Lucy Durack as Cactus – ‘In the pink’ – she was in Legally Blonde the musical. ‘Medical degree’ – starred in Doctor Doctor. #MaskedSingerAU

Then there was that Spice Girls hint… which apparently pointed an Insta post from three whole years ago.

Oh, and she was also in the TV show Doctor Doctor…
Lucy Durack was at Doctor Doctor. So, cactus is Lucy Durack. #MaskedSingerAU

cactus’ doctor refrences cause lucy was on doctor doctor and her saying she turned pink is cause she played elle woods in legally blonde on stage #MaskedSingerAU

…and the Australian seasons of Mamma Mia!
Are they the boots Lucy Durack wore in Mamma Mia theatre folk? “Cross country” – relates to storyline of MM? #MaskedSingerAU

It just all adds up. But unfortunately, no Shrek clues… yet.
As soon as I saw that oil can and then the in the pink clue, hello Glinda and Legally Blonde .. & those medical references- she was in the tv show Doctor Doctor… yet more proof it’s Lucy Durack #cactus #MaskedSingerAU @maskedsinger_au

It also explains why her voice is so damn good.
