Two northern suburbs residents, Teresa Giansiracusa from Mill Park and Lyla Digrazia from Craigieburn, will be performing in the upcoming remake of the 70’s classic, ‘A Chorus Line,’ at the National Theatre in St Kilda.
Giansiracusa, who will be playing the role of Diana, feels like she landed the perfect role as she resonates with the character in a plethora of ways.
“She’s incredibly resilient, there is so many moments in the show where she just feels like, ‘God, why have I done that?,’ she said.
“Then she just gets back up and just keeps going and keeps fighting because she just is a fighter. And that’s what makes her so relatable to so many people seeing her get back up every time.”
Digrazia, who will be playing the role of Maggie, said her favourite part has been working with the cast.
“Working with this incredible cast, they’re so loving, they’re so caring and they’re so talented,” she said.
“The aspect that I am looking forward to the most as well is just performing a musical that’s so well known and that touches on such a subject that musical theatre people can relate to.”
Digrazia said those who will be in attendance for the performance will go through a range of emotions.
“They’re going to be stunned because of the choreography, the consuming and how people have delved into their characters. It’s going to be a rollercoaster, there’s so many emotions in this musical,” she said.
The performance will run from September 7 to September 22 and tickets start from $50.
