Blood Brothers is on its way to the Hayes, with its first preview performance scheduled for tonight. We asked cast member Michael Cormick our 20 questions to find out more about his career, Blood Brothers, and where he stands on theatre superstitions.
I am a creative energy who dresses up, takes on another persona , and re tells dramatic scenarios to evoke an emotional response.
Refer to the previous answer.
Watching Beauty and the Beast in New York when I had been cast in the role (of the Beast) for Australia. I was soooo excited and the transformation blew my mind.
I am so lucky to have had many, but one that comes to mind is my opening night in Evita, playing Che Guevara in an amphitheater in Beirut. The opening number is a funeral staged with umbrellas and as we stepped out on stage it rained, just long enough to create a magic. We were blessed by the Gods!
Having Christine’s [Sarah Brightman’s] wig attach to my jacket during a lift in Phantom of the Opera. It literally left her head!
Absolutely! Never whistle in a dressing room. Never mention “you know who” in a dressing room. Never work with animals or children. I’ve done ’em all!
Don’t have one. But if I did it would be….. something Tom Jonesish
The fact that we are starting to create more of a fringe scene here now excites me. The Hayes Theatre Co is a perfect example.
Lets not get into that….
Red or White?
None. I’m far too busy learning scripts. Honestly!
Paul Capsis in Little Bird. Amazing!
I would love to play Sweeney in Sweeney Todd.
NYC
Be yourself.
Don’t go into Showbiz.
I was living in London in the early nineties, and went to see it with a friend of mine. I remember not being able to speak for at least 15 minutes after the show. I was so emotionally involved.
I can honestly say that this has been one of my favourite experiences ever. Our Producer, Director, Technical staff and cast are all extraordinary talents.
I’m not sure that I have a favourite scene, as this show has so many wonderful moments. The final 15 minutes of the show are an extraordinary conclusion to an incredibly well crafted piece.
The Hayes Theatre Company in Potts Point from 6 Feb until 15 March.
