The Australian premiere of TOOTSIE [On Your Feet Australia] has opened at the Teatro at the Italian Forum Sydney and I was thrilled to speak to its star Andrew Bevis (Les Misèrables, Romeo and Juliet), who is also the co-founder of the theatre. This is a glorious, funny and insightful interview from his dressing room discussing costumes, character, the difference between the 1982 Oscar-winning film and the stage adaption and so much more! I know you will enjoy!

Georgina Hopson (Titanique, The Phantom Of The Opera) stars as Anya and Robert Tripolino (Jesus Christ Superstar US/UK, Les Misèrables UK), star as Dmitry in the Australian premiere production of ANASTASIA [Crossroads Live Australia]. The musical is currently playing at the Sydney Lyric Theatre and I was thrilled to talk to them both and find out more about this musical, their approaches to character and why this musical and their characters mean so much to them.
Listeners, right before the interview began, Georgina walked onstage to surprise us wearing the Anya/Anastasia royal blue ballroom gown, which I audibly gasped and I left that in! Robert was also still in costume from his previous performance. This is a great interview, hope you enjoy!

Lynn Ahrens is an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Tony nominated lyricist for her work on ANASTASIA, both the original 1997 Twentieth Century Fox’s animated film and musical stage adaption and US Associate Director Sarah Hartmann were both in Sydney, the Lyric Theatre for the opening of the Australia premiere of ANASTASIA [Crossroads Live Australia]. What an honour! I was thrilled to be able to speak to them and ask questions about both the film and musical- the historical context, staging, research and more! This was so special, I definitely could’ve asked more, so I hope you enjoy this exclusive treat!
