Wednesday Breakfast: SIX The Musical Backstage Interview

Brett heads backstage at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre to meet two of the newest queens of SIX The Musical — Sarah Murr, playing Catherine of Aragon, and Mia Paris Scalise, making her professional theatre debut as Anne Boleyn. They chat about stepping into the global phenomenon that is SIX, the passionate “Queendom” surrounding the show, putting their own spin on two iconic roles, and the theatre moments that inspired them to pursue careers on stage. Sarah shares what it means to land her first leading role after a decade in the industry, while Mia takes us inside the surreal experience of booking SIX straight out of university. Plus, there’s talk of Beyoncé, Avril Lavigne, Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Patti LuPone and, naturally, Britney Spears — before Sarah and Mia decide which SIX queen Brett would be. SIX The Musical is now playing at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre before heading to Sydney and Brisbane. The post Wednesday Breakfast: SIX The Musical Backstage Interview appeared first on JOY Breakfast.
