Rarmian Newton in CATS

Post by deebeeeff »

This tweet received from MsLeaSalonga, who is in rehearsals for CATS (Manila production if I am not mistaken, which is coming from the OZ touring production)
"Rarmian is going to play Tumblebrutus. And how adorable is he! Still looks like a kid, but sings baritone now."

Congratulations Rarmian!

Though having seen Cats just recently in Melbourne, I can't say I was too impressed.

This is an blog extract of a cast member of Cats who mentions Rarmian Well done Rarmian all our best wishes are with you.

Allow me to single out one particular actor from “Cats.” His name is Rarmian Newton. He’s only 16 years old, but has a resume that many adults would envy: He’s played the young Peter Allen in the arena production of “The Boy from Oz” (working with Hugh Jackman), and was the lead in the Sydney production of “Billy Elliot” a few years ago, winning awards in the process.

The director is hard on him, as is the musical director, and whoever else that needs to be. They pick on just about everything, from the lyrics he has to sing to staying safe on the set, to his focus and the choreography. However, what most impresses me about him is that through it all, he accepts all the criticism, knowing it’ll make him improve.

He’s picked on because he’s ridiculously gifted, and is being pushed by all corners to be at his absolute best. He gives no diva attitude, no talking back. This kid works hard, and is fantastic at what he does.

Thanks, andrewcraig. :D Here's a link to the article. It's a column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer actually, by Lea Salonga, who is playing Griselda, I believe.

Well done Rarmian! Sounds great :D . I saw Cats when it was in Melbourne a few months ago, not sure if I liked it really. I think I may have liked it more if I saw Rarmian.

This blogger from the Phillipines gives five reasons to like Cats which stars Lea Salonga and is currently playing in Manila. The story highlights the youngest member of the cast, Ramian Newton.

The show will be closing in Manila this week (August 22).

Rarmion Newton is interviewed on video about his new show World premiere of How to train your dragon

http://www.aussietheatre.com.au/index.p ... &Itemid=67

Watching this video and reflecting back on Rarmion in the original OZ cast of Billy, he seems no different to what he was back then but____here is a tribute from 2 fans compiled when he left the show.

Thanks for that link. :D Wow! The "demo dragon" in this video is really wonderful. I hope this comes to the US and performs somewhere that I can see it. If Rarmian were to come along as well that would really be spectacular. :D
