10 June 2026 – Andrew Bevis
Actor, director, musical director and theatre entrepreneur Andrew Bevis has enjoyed a remarkable career spanning Australia and London’s West End, performing in major productions including Les Misérables, Hello, Dolly!, Rocky Horror and Jerry Springer: The Opera, while also working extensively behind the scenes as a musical director and creative collaborator. In this conversation, Andrew discusses his return to the stage as Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels in Tootsie at Sydney’s Teatro at the Italian Forum. He reflects on his lifelong fascination with theatre, which began with self-produced school productions and led directly from high school into the orchestra pit of The Phantom of the Opera aged just 18.
At the heart of the discussion, however, is Teatro itself. Andrew speaks passionately about building a new professional theatre in Sydney’s Inner West and, even more importantly, creating pathways for the next generation through Teatro’s Theatre Bridge program. Designed to help emerging performers, musicians and backstage artists transition into the profession, the initiative reflects Andrew’s desire to create the kind of opportunities he wished had existed when he was starting out. Along the way, there are reflections on film music, storytelling, John Williams, Steven Spielberg, and more.
Andrew Bevis stars in Tootsie at Teatro at the Italian Forum until 21 June.
