The Hurley’s are no strangers to the stage. Rosanna has been in shows such as include Ladies in Black where she played Lisa, She was also in the premier season of Enright on the Night, as well as playing Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest and Elle Woos in the stage musical version of Legally Blonde and Sandy in the hit musical Grease.

While Marcus credits have recently included Noteable Theatre Company’s Les Misérables where he played Jean Valjean. Marcus recently won the 2019 Broadway World Sydney Regional Award for best actor in a musical for his role as Charlie Price in  Kinky Boots. He has also appeared in Songs for A New World, Rent, Pirates of Penzance and Anything Goes. Marcus will be reviving his role of Jean Valjean in March 2020 for NTC’s return season of Les Misérables at Chatswood’s Concourse Theatre.

Rosanna says she chose to sing “Falling Slowly with my husband Marcus because this song quietly captures the complexities of relationships, both romantic and platonic. The melody and words are at the same time hopeful and regretful, revealing both the strength and the scars that can result from the process of making an emotional connection with someone else”.

“COVID-19 has given me time to miss the theatre.” she says, “While I’ve felt disconnected from the experience of performing and helping with shows this year, I’m excited that the old familiar feeling of being in this community is starting to return”.
