Avenue Q’s opening night performance captivated a full house at the Seymour College Arts Centre earlier this month and was also an acting debut for Shelly Hamilton.
Avenue Q is a Broadway production that won the Tony ‘Triple Crown’ and is based on about real-life situations, such as finding a job, falling in love, emotional wellbeing, and homelessness.
The Seymour Performers Workshop adaptation of Avenue Q has been directed by Thomas Boyd, with music by Olivia King and choreography by Annelii Van-Wall-Boyd.
The show is a truly unique musical with amazing choreography, hilarious show tunes and puppet mastery.
Thomas Ridley has taken on the main character Princeton in the show.
In her first stage appearance, Shelly Hamilton played Christmas Eve – a shrewd and demanding resident in a de-facto relationship with Brian, played by Mitchell Portarianos.
Ms Hamilton praised the cast for their support.
“I felt very supported by the cast, everyone was so great. They said ‘Shelly you’re doing so well’. After the show I felt amazing.” she said.
The Seymour Performers Workshop is celebrating 21 years of performing events that cater to a regional audience.
There are still two more shows remaining at the Seymour College Arts Centre on the corner of Loco and Anglesey Street, Seymour on May 25 at 7.30pm and May 26 at 2pm.
