Ambassador Catch-Up

Billy Elliot - The Musical, an experience I will never forgot. I decided to audition for Billy Elliot after my singing and dance teachers encouraged me to go for it. I’m so glad I did! I think there were over 120 girls who auditioned on the day. There were a few rounds and we had to sing, tap and perform our best “bad ballet”. Given the Ballet girls are not supposed to be prima ballerinas, all our years of ballet training had to be forgotten in that moment. It was actually very fun trying to be bad. I was lucky enough to make it through to the final round and a few weeks later I found out I was successful. I play the role of “Tracy Atkinson” she is the Ballet girl who likes to eat pies during ballet class. She is funny and quirky.

We rehearsed for a number of weeks during the holidays and then after school and on the weekends. The Premiere of the first show in Queensland was an absolute highlight for me. It has been a huge success and the show has been extended until August 13th.

The creatives, cast and crew have been a dream and I feel so lucky that I have been given this opportunity. My final show dates for the season at The Star, Gold Coast are: Friday 28th and Saturday 29th evening Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th matinee Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th matinee (closing show)
