// FROM A CHORUS LINE START TO 21 MUSICALS

Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond the Curtain! I’m so thrilled to have you here.

We’re kicking off the season with musical theatre veteran, Darren Tyler, who not only has had an incredibly successful and enduring career, but is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

In this episode we hear about his A Chorus Line start to dancing, the experience of auditioning for 6 years before getting into his first show, his transition to getting a talent agent and stories from some of the very many (21!) musicals he has performed in.

He imparts the wisdom he has gained through being on the audition panel and holding dance captain roles, shares some of the ways he practises mindfulness and self-love, his struggles and experience with eczema and the honour of receiving the Australian Gypsy Cloak in 2018.

Darren is currently performing in Billy Elliot the Musical, opening in Melbourne February 2020.
