Chelsea Leaman is excited to be playing the sassy Carmen Diaz in FAME, in what will be her fourth show ever! This Chelsea's second show with T3 Productions after appearing as Annette in Annie in November 2009. Chelsea is a graduate of the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts and is also certified in BATD Tap, Jazz and Ballet. She says that her favourite role to date has been playing Robin in RAPA's "Smile" as she was able to work along side Jim Betts and Marek Norman in her first ever musical, in a leading role no less! When not performing herself, Chelsea teaches at Randolph KIDS! and I've Got Rhythm School of Dance.
Chelsea's favourite moment in FAME is when she is lifted a la Britney Spears and is carried across the stage. She says "I've never been lifted before and although it was frightening in the beginning I've overcome my fear of not trusting other cast members with my life and can now do partnering lifts with confidence". Chelsea will soon be reprising her role in The Killing Game as a part of the Toronto Fringe Festival, dancing as the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio - the Ballet as well as playing a supporting role in rapper D-Sissive's new music video "West Coast".
Watch Chelsea's performance (and exciting lift!) in FAME: The Musical from June 24-27 at the Papermill Theatre. Tickets available at www.ticketweb.ca
