With a huge hype in London over the return of the 9 time Tony Award winning musical, the producers announced open auditions for the "chorus line", hundreds flocked to the Palladium lining up as early as 6am!
Victoria landed the part of Diana Morales,a hispanic, aspiring actor with a rough edge and rides the bumpy road through theatre school making friends and enemies during the course of the show. Morales leads two of the key musical numbers within the show; "What I did for Love" and the electric "Nothing".
We are all very excited to see Victoria, Jon Partridge and Scarlett Strallen tap, sing and act their way through this marvelous musical full of the highs and lows of being a performer and going through the audition process.
The opening of the show has been described as a fitting tribute to the shows original composer Marvin Hamlisch who sadly passed away in August 2012.
Now a message from the Lady herself,
I'm looking very forward to being a part of 'A Chorus Line' and joining the rest of the cast and creatives for what seems will be a very fun job to do. Once again I will be diving back in to a leotard and trainers so I better get my body prepared and get the strength back which the show requires. It will be a tough rehearsal process and everyone will be worked to the limit as that's what the choreography demands. But I can't wait for you all to see the show as it has been 35 years since it was last in the Westend........Hope you all enjoy, I know I will.
Victoria Hamilton-Barrit :-)
