Nick Nasrallah fondly remembers back in the 80's when MuchMusic was a new network with music videos that were like mini movies with story lines and influential choreography, including his personal favourite, Paula Abdul's video for "Cold Hearted Snake". Nick will channeling that passion for music and dance as he makes his T3 debut as Schlomo Metzenbaum in FAME: The Musical.Nick is a graduate of the Vancouver Film School (Writing for Film and Television), and Randolph Academy for Performing Arts and has since spent several seasons performing with Orpheus Musical Theatre (where he also choreographed a production of Fame in 2008), and touring with Little Red Theatre . He has also dabbled in stand-up comedy, short films, producing intimate cabarets as part of the Travesty series as well as teaching musical theatre to 6-15 year olds at the Act One School of Drama in Pickering.
When asked about his favourite role to date, Nick says that he'll never be able to replicate the experience he had playing Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown at the George Ignatieff Theatre. "The small cast and production team quickly became a very tight knit group. Before each show, we would all gather in the girls' dressing room and break out into a spontaneous vocal warm up, where we would improv-jam to whatever was overheard on the PA system. We were lucky enough to remount the show in Ottawa as part of Anti Bullying Week".
This summer, Nick will continue to perform as Artie as a part of the Bounce Glee Squad and will also be featured in a show with Little Red Theatre at the Palmerston Library Theatre. In the fall, Nick hopes to start training with the Second City Conservatory Program.
