Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

kimknuckeyWhat is your favourite swear word?
I like most of them, but bugger works in practically every situation.

What are you wearing?
A t-shirt that says The Kingdom Of Doug, the name of a short film my friend Victoria Thaine made.

What is love?
A smile. A look. A hug.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Nick Curnow in Fully Committed. He played dozens of characters in a one man show and was fantastic!

Is your new show going to be any good?
I’m really looking forward to this. Lynden and I play characters who are as different as chalk and cheese – it’s a surprise they can agree on anything. And there’s a lot of fun in the show.

5 Questions with Owen Little

owen-littleWhat is your favourite swear word?
Fuck. Its powerful, satisfying, and versatile.

What are you wearing?
Well to be honest, its 11:12pm and I’m in my boxers, thats it.

What is love?
Woah, big one… love is afternoon sun through olive trees. Love is a contradiction, it comes in many forms. It’s perilous but also a refuge, its free but it has its cost. It is passion, yearning, sharing, ecstasy, life and death…

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Last show I saw was Super Discount by Back to Back Theatre Company at STC. I give it 4 Stars. The show was a devised by a group of actors with intellectual/physical impairments. It challenged the audience whilst entertaining and raising valuable questions about how art, people and performance is viewed and judged.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Sweet Nothings will come in like a wrecking ball! Its a fantastic play filled with great characters fuelled by sex, young love and consequence. As relevant today as it was 100 years ago. Go see it!

Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour Cirque du Soleil – 5 out of 5! Brilliant.

5 Questions with Michelle Pastor

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

michellepastorWhat is your favourite swear word?
I don’t swear a lot. My boyfriend looks at me in shock when I do. So you’ll mostly hear me say Oh My Goodness, but in times of extreme frustration it’s F*ing Hell!

What are you wearing?
Right now I’m in my pyjamas. The curse of working from home. If I got dressed? Jeans and a lazy jumper. Im in Melbourne today and it’s stupidly cold.

What is love?
Wanting to spend every second with that person, or thinking about them, or remembering them, or talking about them, accepting every part of them and being so grateful they are in your life, because with them, joy is abundant.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I saw King Kong yesterday. That gorilla is freaking incredible. Kids were in tears with fear. I wanted to give him a hug. It took 13 guys
to work the puppet! How many stars? Sadly the story was a little disjointed, so I’ll give it 4.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Yes. Undoubtedly. Why? Because it’s fun. I have fun performing it and you’ll have fun watching it.

5 Questions with Richard House

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

richardhouseWhat is your favourite swear word?
Just in case my mum reads this I’d better not be too creative when choosing my favourite swear word. I’m a big fan of South Park and Butters (one of the characters from the show) has a great expression in times of frustration. “SON OF A BISCUIT”.

What are you wearing?
I’m in-between rehearsals at the moment so currently I’m in sweaty tights, a sweaty bandana, sweaty ballet shoes and a sweaty t-shirt with Rafael Nadal on it.

What is love?
Love is a large Big Mac meal from McDonald’s. Ha! It’s also an enticing emotion that once you experience the completeness it brings, you’re always craving for more.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Well I haven’t seen a show in quite a while due to being incredibly busy, but I am seeing Beyonce perform this week and I can only assume she will rock my world and it will be a 100 stars out of 100 stars show!

Is your new show going to be any good?
Well it premieres on the 31st of October which is also my birthday and I have never heard of anything less than awesome happening on that date!

Richard House is starring in Bodytorque.Technique, with The Australian Ballet.

5 Questions with Amy Lehpamer

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

amylehpamerWhat is your favourite swear word?
The one that my phone’s auto-correct changes to duck. It’s percussive and punctuating. I enjoy it.

What are you wearing?
From the neck up, a full show face and giant bouffant blonde wig. Neck down, workout wear. I’m a hybrid musical theatre creature. It’d be a confusing sight on the street. Unless you were in Double Bay or Brighton. I hear people love this look down those parts.

What is love?
Sharing everything. And wanting to.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
South Pacific. Lisa McCune is a star. I’d give her all of them. Also to the male ensemble. Imagine waking up to those boys singing ‘There Is Nothing Like A Dame,’ it’d really change the course of your day. Another highlight was watching the audience notice that John Wood (fellow Scoundrel) was sitting amongst them. People genuinely couldn’t contain themselves that Sergeant Croydon was looking on Maggie Doyle’s stage work. It was like the Logies set to Rodgers and Hammerstein. A CLASSY Logies!

Is your new show going to be any good?
If you hate laughing and songs and handsomeness and beauty and Tony nominees, then don’t come. If you like those things – YOU GET ALL THOSE THINGS! And then some. The show is beautifully constructed. The characters are full of life and scope and a good dose of silliness. Yes.

Amy Lehpamer is starring in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

5 Questions with Matt Young

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

mattyoungWhat is your favourite swear word?
Well, I grew up in the States, so “hell” is considered a swear word-it’s blasphemous, you see. So I’ll have to say: God-damned!

What are you wearing?
Now that I’m half-Aussie, R.M. Williams button-down shirt, jeans, and boots, mate.

What is love?
My man-husband and our two beautiful children.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Kit Brookman’s Small And Tired at Belvoir amazed and moved me in design, direction, and acting performances. I submitted myself for the role of Electra’s husband, and read the outstanding, mature script back then. But I didn’t get an audition. So four stars. Otherwise five. God-damned Belvoir didn’t give me an audition!

Is your new show going to be any good?
Hell… I mean, heck yes! Both of them. Check out #ButterfliesRFreeAu and #3WintersGreen @kingsttheatre on Twitter to find out what the punters think. Or just me. If I’m the only one using the hashtag. #sob

Matt Young is starring in Three Winters Green and Butterfiles Are Free, two plays in repertory.

What are you wearing?
A singlet, chinos and my trusty old boots.

What is love?
Life’s great discovery.

Miss Julie at Belvoir. Five out of five, it was incredibly uncomfortable and the most dangerous play I have seen for many years. I fucking loved it.
