Historic, post-covid. The Australian premiere of PIPPIN [Gordon Frost, Foundation Theatres] has reopened the Sydney Lyric Theatre - becoming the first commercial musical to open in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a historical moment for Australian musical theatre (and my first time being back in a theatre since March 2020). Still in COVID-19 regulations, short socially distanced interviews with Leslie Bell (Fastrada) and Euan Doidge (Lewis). Leslie and Euan both reflect on the journey to be cast in this momentous musical, hearing the sound of an audience applause again and their roles in this spectacular, colourful and high-energy musical that is loved by all ages.
