10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,200

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, first preview tonight, So it'd be wonderful to

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: hear everyone singing and dancing along.

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, great, So audience participation is encouraged.

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yes.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: Now you're playing Rosie, famously played by Julie Walters just

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Adore in the movie Wonderful of Fun. How much fun

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: play this character?

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? This character is. She does provide a little bit

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: of comic relief in the show. She gets to sing

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: take a Chance, which is just a well known ABBA song,

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: and she is one third of the Dynamos. So we

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: also get to sing Dancing Queen, which is lots of fun,

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 2: a real treat.

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, is there any do you have a

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: favorite a song?

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: It would be yes, absolutely, and you should hear Alithia

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Sartarelli who's playing on our singers sense chills absolutely. But

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: I would have to say, and probably now that I

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: have small children, Elliott and Evelyn, we slipping through my

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: fingers is probably the most really heart wrenching one for me.

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit more poignant.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, show like this there must

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: be times when you go, wow, I'm working, but it

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: doesn't like it just feels like credible firm.

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and particularly this show, it just has got such

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: a joyful effervescence about it, and the music is so

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: familiar it just really warms the heart. And I have

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: to say, the two lovely ladies that are the other Dynamos,

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: we're very good friends. So we're having a real wonderful

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: time and it's just such a.

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: Treat finding your spots and finding your marks very professional. Absolutely,

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: that's correct.

00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: This is a one Perth show, Perth cast, Perth production

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,160

Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. Yeah, so just at the Regal for

Speaker 2: for the next few weeks and yes, a full Perth production.

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: So the really Perth.

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: Talent is just incredible and the creatives have just brought

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: together such a wonderful, amazing show.

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: So do you feel more comfortable or more nervous when

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: you're performing for a home crowd? Crowd, I you know

55
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: there's going to be someone you know.

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I usually find the audition process a little more

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: nerve recognize. So the actual performing side of it is

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: like I sort of feel quite at home there. Yeah,

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: So I'm being on stage is just the best place.

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: I want to call you, miss Hanigan, because I've seen Annie,

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: You've done a lot, You've got a lot of shows

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: under your belt now quite a career. Must be must

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: be a great feeling to have that success, but also

64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: to perform in front of friends and family. Yeah.

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, I'm doing the big touring shows. You know,

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: there's there's I never quite got the opportunity to come

67
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: home to Perth because I grew up in Perth, but

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: I never quite got the opportunity to come home with

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: those shows. So I've been really fortunate over the past

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: couple of years to get to do a few local

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: Perth productions and get to work with professional Perth companies here,

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: which is just fantastic. Yes, so that's that's been a

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: really nice thing. And then my children have been able

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: to come and see me too, which.

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Also well. Those some of those shows include Wicked, Any

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Guys and Dolls, Rocky Horr, Doctor Chicago, which you were

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: nominated for a Helpman Award for. What is there a

78
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: role or production on your wish list which you've never

79
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: got to do? Yes, so many yet.

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: Maybe Chicago. I don't know if my dancing skills quite

81
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: up to physic I'd have to say Fontine in Lamy. Okay, Yeah,

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: that would absolutely be my legit musical theater dreams.

83
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of dreams, costume mind back and think of

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: Tiny to Neil on the set of Ship to Shore.

85
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: Could you have ever imagined what were your hopes and

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: dreams deck there?

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: Well? It just for me, It was always what I

88
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: wanted to do. Yeah, it was very clear from very

89
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: early age that this was going to be something that

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: I pursued. So yes, I think Little to Neil would

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: be pretty excited about it. What I've done over the

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: past twenty thirty.

93
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Years and you went to Whopper, which is you know,
