Our very own Clinical Psychologist, Andrew Mair,(pictured below) is appearing at the theatre production of "Billy Elliott". The opening was last Saturday and the reviews for Andrew's performance as Billy's father Jackie were very positive to say the least.
Stage Whispers says:
"Billy’s father, Jackie, is played with magnificent strength and power by Andrew Mair. The character must start to change in Act Two and show his sensitive side and start to become a fish out of water when he accompanies Billy to an audition in London. Mair does this spot on, with the humor in the London scenes as well-timed and portrayed as his strength and stubbiness throughout the previous act. Just one ni**le, not with Mair but a piece of staging during his song Deep Into The Ground sung so beautifully by him. Nobody else should move onstage except to leave. Having people walking about talking, even in mime, and the ballet girls running about at the beginning is terribly distracting and makes it almost impossible to concentrate on Mairs strong, powerful tones."
Well done Andrew, today Adelaide theatre, tomorrow Hollywood 😃.
