Altona brothers Sebastian and Luka Sero are continuing to make a name for themselves in the world of musical theatre.
Fresh from starring in CLOC’S production of Billy Elliot at the National Theatre, in which Sebastian, 11, played Billy himself, the talented duo are sharing the role of young Elvis in Elvis: A Musical Revolution.
The show will take the audience on a journey through Elvis Presley’s life and music.
Sebastian said he enjoyed imaging what Elvis was like growing up and discovering his music.
“There are some really nice scenes with his mum too, who’s played by Noni McCallum, who’s absolutely amazing … and she loves music too and singing and they’re my favourite scenes because … that’s how I started performing and singing too – at home and with my family,” he said.
“It’s gonna feel like a real-life Elvis concert.”
Luka, 9, said his favourite scenes in this play are with the blues musicians and the gospel singers.
“It’s so electrifying to be on stage, being immersed in it all the way Elvis probably was in real life, and you can really feel what it’d be like to be him because I feel the soul in me too when I’m on stage,” Luka said.
Sebastian and Luka will share the role of young Elvis with Luca Dahan.
“Elvis: A Musical Revolution is at the Athenaeum Theatre from July 27 to August 11.
