From Singapore to New Zealand, from Australia to Abu Dhabi - over the past 10 years - Andre Jewson has performed the role of Zazu in the internationally touring production of The Lion King. A cultural monolith of a production that has been seen by millions of people the world over.
So what does it take to turn up night after night, and play such an iconic character in so many different cultural contexts. In this episode of The Storymakers Institute, we’re going to hear from the Australian performer about the joys and challenges of finding life and a connection in a story, especially when you’ve performed it over 1500 times. Meet Andre here.
“We need to meet audience expectations as well as bring our own spirit to the role. Otherwise it’s strange and confusing.” - Andre Jewson
