You could be on stage as part of West Side Story's ensemble with full hair and make-up done when the show arrives in Sydney, but it will cost you $6500 for the privilege.
The smash hit musical by Opera Australia is on at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour until April 21.
In this 20th Century retelling of Romeo & Juliet, the Jets and the Sharks are locked in a fierce turf battle, but as the two teen gangs hurtle down a dangerous path, Tony and Maria cross enemy lines, dreaming of a time and place where they can love freely.
Hits include America, Tonight, Maria, I Feel Pretty and the enduring Somewhere.
Each night, one die-hard fan can buy themselves a slice of stardom, joining the cast on-stage in the iconic 'Dance at the Gym' scene and experience the thrill of performing on stage.
Walk-on roles with Opera Australia have proven popular with local and international opera-lovers, but this the first time it's been possible in a musical.
As part of the package, you will receive:
- Professional hair and make-up
- Costume fitting
- A rehearsal session with the assistant director to walk through the on-stage moments
- A Meet and greet with the ensemble before the performance
- Four Premium Reserve tickets - one for you as a walk-on role performer, plus three guests
- Dinner for four in the HSBC Platinum Club
- Interval drink for four in the HSBC Platinum Club
- A dedicated photographer to capture the experience
- West Side Story on Sydney Harbour T-Shirt & Program
The on-stage opportunity is available for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday performances only.
