// Moulin Rouge! The Musical’s Sparkling Diamond

Welcome to Season 3 of Beyond the Curtain!

We are kicking off with a BANG as I chat with the divine, Alinta Chidzey.

Alinta is a multi-award winning, seasoned Musical Theatre performer and one of Australia’s most captivating leading ladies. She has starred in many musicals including Chicago, West Side Story, Mary Poppins, Curtains, Jesus Christ Superstar, Singin' In the Rain and Show Boat, just to name a few!

Alinta is also an acclaimed jazz vocalist, songwriter and recording artist, and sings with not one but TWO bands - Hook Turn Orchestra and Alinta and the Jazz Emperors.

Currently Alinta is starring as Satine, the sparkling diamond of Moulin Rouge! The Musical Australia. We are all eagerly awaiting theatres to open to witness the magic of this show on stage. In this episode Alinta shares how she successfully auditioned for the leading role whilst 37 weeks pregnant and commenced rehearsals just weeks after giving birth to her daughter, Harley Rose. You will also hear all about her childhood, career pathway and what to look out for in the spectacle of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. 

Alinta is an incredibly talented and humble human being. You will hear her constantly compliment everyone else she is working with! She was an absolute joy to chat with and we are so grateful to have her share with you on the podcast.
