Audrey Hepburn’s funny face graced magazines around the world. But, the question every singer or performer wants answered is: ‘What would Audrey do if she saw an audition notice in Melbourne for a new Aussie musical with a Hollywood twist.’

AUDREY INTERVIEW GET WITH IT MAGAZINE 31/07/2015

Harlequin Ink: Hello Audrey.
Audrey: Hello darling. You look simply marvelous, has anyone ever told you that? Well, they should. (She smiles)
Harlequin: Thanks for the compliment. But, the burning question everyone wants to know is what would Audrey do if she saw an audition notice for a new Aussie musical that starred you?
Audrey: Starring me? Oh, darling first I’d pour myself a martini and think about what I was going to wear to the audition. I find the colour PINK very flattering don’t you?
Harlequin: Pink? Well, actually it clashes sometimes with the colour of my eyes after a few beers…/
Audrey: Oh, dear….I find champagne wonderful, I use it as eye drops? But dear we are getting off the subject. What would Audrey do, that’s me…what would I do if I saw an audition notice for a new Aussie musical…/
Harlequin: …to be performed at the Melba Spiegeltent in October 2015 with a live band and the Grace Notes Singers…/
Audrey: Please don’t interrupt darling, I’m thinking. Honestly you are impossible. (She smiles) Now, I’ll tell you’d what I’d do if I was going to audition for Audrey Hepburn and I Consider Our Assets a musical set in Melbourne. Hold on…Are you still looking for performers? Really?
Harlequin: Yes, we are. We have several roles still to cast.
Audrey: Oh, in that case the first thing I’d do is…I’d tell my friends, so they can help me pick out what to wear to the audition. I find looking the part really helps a serious performer. Then, I’d learn my lines or song and prepare like a good actor. Then, I’d ask if there was a good looking leading man in the show. And, if he hadn’t been cast I’d suggest a few like Gregory Peck or Rock Hudson. Are you still looking for a good looking leading man?
Harlequin: Yes we are Audrey. And he must be able to sing.
Audrey: Naturally. Oh, I do like it when you curl your nose up Harlequin Ink. (She winks) Darling I do hope you find some fabulous actress to play me too?
Harlequin: We hope so too. We are trying very hard!
Audrey: Well, be a dear and try harder (She sips her martini and smiles brightly) Anyway that’s what I’d do if I saw an audition notice about an exciting musical, I’d get off the couch and just go and audition. I wouldn’t think twice. Performers must perform you know…then I’d have facial and have breakfast at Tiffany’s on Collins Street. That’s what I’d do.
Harlequin Ink: Is that it?
Audrey: Well, no Harlequin Ink, the Paris end of town is always a good idea for shopping don’t you think?
