This Monday night Magnormos finishes the celebration of JERRY HERMAN with the world-wide sensation HELLO, DOLLY!  Let’s meet one of the principal performers who will bring this landmark musical to life…

SAMANTHA MORLEY (who plays Irene Molloy)

Magnormos: Tell us about your character?
Samantha: I play the role of Irene Molloy. She is a New York millineress  who is due to marry the wealthy Mr Vandergelder. 

Magnormos: What drew you to HELLO DOLLY?
Samantha: I had just finished THE HATPIN with Magnormos and HELLO, DOLLY! seemed to be a wonderful contrast to the role I had just played. Also, with a musical like HELLO, DOLLY!, you cant help being swept up in the complete joy of it all, and that seemed a good reason as any to be part of it!

Magnormos:Why do you think Jerry Herman is so successful?
Samantha: He writes beautiful music! As in HELLO, DOLLY!, the songs move in and out of the storytelling so seamlessly and they are wonderful to sing.

Magnormos: Tell us a little about you - what’s a career highlight so far?
Samantha: I have been in this industry for nearly 20 years and have had so many wonderful experiences. Career highlights would have to be being part of the original Australian cast of BILLY ELLIOT and having the chance to meet and perform as the support for the legendary Barry White in his last ever Australian concert tour.

See Samantha with her ‘ribbons down her back’ in HELLO, DOLLY! this Monday Night 18 July 8pm at Melbourne Recital Centre.
