Practically Perfect: The music of julie andrews

This show was an absolute joy to perform around the country. Not only did we get to share all the wonderful music Julie Andrews made famous but we got to meet some spectacular folk along the way. Can you guess what song we’re performing in each shot?

Produced by JTM Productions

The memory of water

As you can probably tell from these production shots, playing the wayward, self-obsessed youngest sister Catherine in Shelagh Stephenson’s family dramedy The Memory of Water in the Loft at Chapel off Chapel for 3 Big Men productions was a riot . Richard Sarrell’s expert direction enabled us to play and change and it was a rollercoaster every night. Plus I got to hang out with my Rehearsal Room mates. I loved every minute. Check out a clip of Catherine’s antics above

 lone wolf

I knew the moment I read this script that this short film written and directed by January Jones was special. An award winning, queer, coming of age sci-fi fantasy. It’s clever, funny and I think anyone who’s been a teenage girl will feel very seen. I played Charlotte the mother of one of the girls. You can find out more obout Lone Wolf here on IMDB

office spies

Check out this super fun web series that I was a part of. We shot it all in one night and it was written and directed by Simon Crowe

Starring Simon Crowe, Anthony Edward & Karla Hillam

Shot and edited by the great team at Fluid Imagery

the marvelous wonderettes

I was lucky enough to play Missy; the uptight head of the prom decorations committee, who was very concerned that everything at the prom turned out wonderful. Missy is the over-achieving control freak of the group who was absolutely OBSESSED with her music teacher in the Australian premier of The Marvellous Wonderettes for Monster Media at 45 Downstairs. This show was so much fun to perform every night, we had an absolute scream singing all those great hits from the 50’s and 60’s. My favourite song to sing every night was Secret Love because it is so beautiful to sing.

The exonerated

In another Australian premier, I was very humbled to get the opportunity to portray Sunny Jacobs; a real-life survivor of death row in The Exonerated for Sol III company at Chapel off Chapel. Writers Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen spent the year 2000 interviewing several people who had all been wrongfully convicted of murder and placed on death row. After spending years and sometimes decades in prison, these people were later exonerated with Blank and Jensen using six of these people’s stories in this production. All the dialogue in the play was verbatim from Sunny herself and I feel very lucky to have been able to share her story.

 The Divine Miss Bette

I have spent the better part of a decade getting to play Paris Harlette in The Divine Miss Bette show starring Catherine Alcorn. Its deep in my bones and an absolute scream every time I dust her off. This is a clip of our warm up tradition. Nothing like three part acapella to get the feels going. It’s Divine!
