When Melbourne bounced back after rolling lockdowns, a pastime we longed to get back to was an evening at the theatre. A COVID-induced curtain had fallen on shows that would never reopen, but as vocal cords were flexed and dancing shoes polished for a return to the stage, there was one show in particular we were hungry to see – and the time has come. Hamilton, the hit Broadway musical that became a cultural phenomenon, is finally opening in Melbourne. In this issue you can meet the star, Jason Arrow, who scored the role of a lifetime when the future seemed uncertain. ●

Arrow goes to the heart of Hamilton THEATRE Getting the lead role was a lifeline

for Jason Arrow during the lows of lockdown.

F

or Jason Arrow, finding out he had won the lead role as Alexander Hamilton in the musical Hamilton came exactly at the right time.

It was August 2020, right in the middle of Melbourne’s second and longest COVID-19 lockdown, when the world seemed like a different place.

Musical theatre and other arts performers suffered more than most when it came to the lockdowns as shows shut up shop, some never to open again.

“I was in between gigs at that point,” Arrow, 32, says of the moment he found out he had won the role.

“I was auditioning for a role in a musical called Waitress at the time, that didn’t end up happening because of COVID, and I assumed the same would happen with Hamilton.

“When I got the call I was beside myself but, to be quite honest, it was a weird experience because of the lockdown. You usually go out and celebrate with friends, but I couldn’t do that.

“However, it really gave me something to look forward to in what was a tough time; I latched on to that, and it was a beautiful thing.”

Hamilton opened its Australian run in Sydney last March, just as Australia thought it had beaten COVID, only to close again for four months when Sydney’s Delta wave struck in the second half of the year.

It could have been a demoralising time for the cast and crew, but they soldiered on with some high-profile support.

DOM A IN REV IEW

At the beginning of the shutdown, Arrow remembers being inspired by a Zoom chat the cast and crew had with Hamilton’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

“The last time we chatted he was just sitting there in his little Zoom square eating his cereal and listening to what everyone was saying,” he says.

“He is such a nice person and a beautiful soul.”

The cast eventually finished the season in Sydney and are relieved to be staging it in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre.

The industry is as back to normal as is possible, Arrow says.

“The only difference now is we wear masks and people have to be vaccinated,” he says. ”Other than that, audiences are really full, and people are coming back to see shows.

“There are a number of new shows coming to Melbourne this year and it is starting to look promising again.

“There is a real buzz in the industry in Melbourne.”

Born in South Africa, Arrow arrived in Australia when he was six to settle with his family in Perth.

In his early school life, he always showed an interest in the arts and studied ballet before getting into sport, including football. He discovered musical theatre in year 8 at his school in the Perth suburb of Rockingham.

“The school had a great arts program, and still does, and they used to do musicals and plays, and I thought that looked like fun,” Arrow says.

“I played lots of different sports and liked being active, and musical theatre is exactly that.

JA M E S G E E R

“The diversity was such a celebrated thing at the time when the cast was announced, and everyone was so happy. But now, moving forward I think it will become a normal thing.”

“The first show I did was Little Shop of Horrors, and I knew I had found my passion.

“My parents were fine with it, and it went from there.”

Arrow ended up studying musical theatre at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), which has become a rite of passage for many actors and musical theatre performers.

While at WAAPA he noticed something that was a bit off about the industry – a lack of diversity.

“I’m lighter skin in terms of my look, but I noticed that I was hiding away from my ethnicity a lot to try to blend in, which I think is a terrible thing to think you have to do,” he says. ”It took me a while to own that part of me.

“I felt like in our industry there was a stereotypical look for a man or a woman to look like, and I didn’t quite fit into that.”

Arrow believes the diverse cast of Hamilton has changed the musical theatre industry in Australia.

“I think the timing of Hamilton in Australia couldn’t have been better in terms of how it shifted how the industry viewed things,” he says.

“The diversity was such a celebrated thing at the time when the cast was announced, and everyone was so happy.

“But now, moving forward I think it will become a normal thing and it will feel strange to celebrate something like diversity.

“We are now seeing casts in shows that represent what Australia looks like on the streets

of Sydney or Melbourne or Perth or wherever, which is great.”

Hamilton premiered on New York City’s Broadway in 2015, with Lin-Manuel Miranda starring in the lead role in the musical he created.

With the unique score and a stirring story of American history – Alexander Hamilton was one of the country’s founding fathers – it soon became a smash hit.

Arrow remembers the chills down his spine when he came out on stage a year ago, in Sydney, for that very first show, following Miranda’s impressive stint in the leading role.

He soon settled into the role and has impressed everyone in the massive musical machine that is Hamilton.

“Jason’s understanding and interpretation of the musicality of the show are remarkable,” says Hamilton associate and supervising director Patrick Vassel.

“He wields the rhythms, rhymes and lyrics as the weapons, emotions and bricks that Alexander Hamilton forges as he fights a war, falls in love and begins to build a nation.

“The fire and intensity Jason generates drives the story forward and ignites the tremendous energy every person brings, every moment on stage.”

And Arrow, in turn, is enjoying every moment on the stage. ● HAMILTON \ Now playing at Her Majesty’s Theatre ● hamiltonmusical.com.au

ENTERTAINMENT

Hits and memories Jersey Boys star Bobby Fox is back and itching to perform.

E

ntertainer Bobby Fox loves his job but refuses to be defined by it.

However, he does accept people mostly recognise him as the original Frankie Valli in the Australian production of Jersey Boys, in which his exceptional voice and stage presence won him a legion of fans.

“That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” he says.

“I’m lucky to have that and it’s the biggest thing I’ve done by far.”

Paradoxically, when the pandemic decimated the arts, Fox was relieved. He realised he was burnt out, under constant pressure to land the next gig.

“The first year of COVID was disastrous. We all know what happened to the arts,” he says. “But I had a sense of relief when it all stopped.

“In the second year, I decided to take accountability for everything that was going on in my life. I had a diminished sense of self-worth and my lifestyle choices were because of that.”

After deep self-ref lection and altering his priorities, Fox has a fresh approach. His passion for gigs remains but he no longer cares too much about what other people think.

“For the first time ever, I feel curious and excited about the potential of the future,” he says.

“As a professional dreamer, you need to be inspired by what your possibilities are, and you can’t be if you don’t have self-respect.”

“I was burnt out. I couldn’t stand going for auditions. But now, I love performing. I’m great at it but I’m not defined by it.”

Rehearsals are underway for his next show, Two Hits and a Ms: Morning Melodies at the Arts Centre, in which he’ll be performing with his mate, tap dancer extraordinaire Christopher Horsey – of Hot Shoe Shuffle and Tap Dogs fame – and musical theatre star Nicole Melloy, whose CV includes 42nd Street, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Little Me, Damn Yankees, Anything Goes and The Producers.

Fox was introduced to tap dancing at the ED5International performing arts college in Sydney after landing in Australia from Ireland, aged 18.

He’d won the Irish Dancing World Championships four times as a boy and, at 15, toured North America in Riverdance. But he was yet to discover his voice and explore other dance styles, such as jazz, tap and contemporary.

The arts college convinced him to remain in Australia to pursue a showbiz career. Within weeks of securing Australian residency, he was booked for Mamma Mia! – his first major show.

In addition to performing in Jersey Boys more than 850 times, his other productions include Blood Brothers, Oklahoma, Guys and Dolls, We Will Rock You, Spamalot and Ladies in Black.

Then there’s his duet, You’re the Boss, with supermodel Miranda Kerr. The pair put down the track in a hotel room in Auckland, then filmed the video in a penthouse in New York. Fox recalls helpful tips he gave the first-time recording artist after he noted she lacked a little confidence.

“The thing about singing is, it’s half ability and half confidence,” he says. “She was wearing the hotel robe and bare feet, which doesn’t inspire confidence.

Wo r d s

DONNA DEMAIO ●

Ph o t o

She ran off and put on a leopard-print outfit, heels and lipstick and then it took off.”

After being on the verge of leaving showbiz altogether, Fox is now raring to go.

“I was burnt out. I couldn’t stand going for auditions. But now, I love performing. I’m great at it but I’m not defined by it,” he says.

“And there’s nothing I respect more than having the opportunity to perform for someone who’s paid money for it.

“My job is to be fantastic [so] they walk out of the theatre and don’t remember how much they spent on the ticket.” ● TWO HITS AND A MS: MORNING MELODIES \ Two shows only at Arts Centre Melbourne, April 11 ● artscentremelbourne.com.au

FEATURE HOUSE ALBERT PARK \ 335 MONTAGUE STREET 4

Beautifully renovated to maximise space, style and amenity, this majestic terrace house is well located and immaculately presented.

The facade has all the defining features of the era: castiron fence, iron lace trim on the verandah and balcony, barley twist trim on the ground-floor window, corbels and urns and a beautifully ornate pediment.

The interior has had a lot of expert love lavished on it and the result is an excellent mix of glamour and practicality.

The Victorian era is there in the arched hall with corbels, ornate plaster trim and high ceilings. Timber floors are laid in the living areas and there is carpet in the bedrooms.

At the front of the home, the formal living room has plantation shutters to the street and a marble and cast-iron fireplace. A home office, with fitted bookshelves, opens from this room and also has double doors to the light-well courtyard.

Beyond this section is the sleek white and marble kitchen, with premium appliances, and the large and light dining and lounge area. Clerestory windows add to the airiness and glazed doors open to the landscaped courtyard.

At the rear is a double garage with a sophisticated selfcontained studio apartment above.

The first floor of this superb family home is the bedroom zone. The main bedroom is full-width and has fitted walk-in wardrobes and a large en suite with twin basins and timber and marble finishes.

One of the children’s bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe; the other has a cupboard. They share the family bathroom.

51 Grey Street ’EILDON MANSION’ c1850s A landmark address in so many ways, its future offers the option to rescue, respect and re-define one of the city’s most majestic residences of 23 rooms. Originally Barham House, the property was extended and re-modeled by Reed and Barnes in the early 1870s. By 1877, renamed EILDON, it enjoyed a renowned reputation of its grandeur, beauty, the richness of its fittings and fixtures and for its significant allotment of some 2203m2. Many of these attributes remain intact today, including the land size, which in the context of the current era represents a huge inner city holding! The chance to acquire EILDON and to define its future is an opportunity of outstanding scope and scale, moments from St Kilda, Albert Park Lake, the sea and the CBD.
