Des Flanagan: The gruelling, hardest, best, most privileged experience of my life

  ‘Generous, patient and tenacious’ are the three words Des Flanagan says sum him up and always have. Des is a boy from Beechworth in regional Victoria, who found himself performing in the Moulin Rouge kicking a leg, singing some of the greatest love songs ever written and having the time of his life. In his first lead role in a mainstage show, Des spent two years and 10 months playing the lead male protagonist Christian 657 times. His love for the stage began with little concerts with his siblings curated for their parents, until Des realised that family fun was to become his destiny. What followed was years of study at the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts, beginning his career in musical theatre. While Des has starred in Neighbours and a few short films, he’s definitely ruled IN doing some great Australian film work in the future.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Des Flanagan:   To learn more about Des: Des on Instagram Des on IMDB Aran Micheal Management   Links from this episode: Moulin Rouge How Des Flanagan learnt he had the role of 2021   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
