My ultimate dream is an interesting one, which most people will probably find to be rather strange. You see... the desire that is closest to my heart is to perform - someday - in a leading role opposite Jonathan Roxmouth ; an incredibly talented South African musical theatre performer who has bagged leading roles the like of: Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Danny in Grease and, of course, as Roelof Colyn's co-star in A Handful of Keys since 2008.
I first saw Jonathan perform in the Barnyard production of Rock Me Amadeus in which he played the rather eccentric and alternative character of Amadeus Mozart. He was incredible! And this extremely high calibre of performance in all areas (piano, singing, dancing, acting, etc.) has continued on throughout his youthful career. At 23 years of age, he is an absolute inspiration to watch as he does what he so obviously loves! It doesn't take someone with unusual intelligence or a great deal of theatre-going experience to see that he is indeed one of South Africa's best!
And he is one of my favourites...
The day that I get to sing with Jonathan Roxmouth will be the day that I'll be able to say that all of my efforts and let-downs and trials and challenges will have been worth it. Though the dream does not centre around him as some might think, the goal to sing with him one day is a bench mark for me and I look forward to achieving it!
