Fifi Box to face her theatrical fears

Fox FM’s Fifi Box will face her theatrical fears tonight by transforming into a tree and re-appearing on stage to take part in Wantirna College’s rendition of Grease the Musical With support from industry heavyweights such as Lady Gaga, Olivia Newton-John & Baz Luhrmann.

Fifi and breakfast show co-host Dave Thornton will take part in the production of the popular musical at Wantirna College.
 
Recently on the show, Fifi went into detail to describe a horrific theatre experience she endured in high school which saw her fail to deliver the most important line in the production! In an attempt to make things right again on stage, the duo put the call out to local schools that were staging musicals.

The Head Drama and Music Teacher at Wantirna College answered that call out and after conversations with Acclaimed Director; Baz Lurhmann, it was decided that Fifi is going to play the part of a tree, with triple threat performer Dave Thornton cast as an honorary t-bird.
 
In a recent interview, Lady Gaga told Fifi that she should “study hard and be the best tree she can be”. Possibly the world’s most famous Tree, John Rhys-Davies who played TreeBeard in Lord of the Rings,visited the show to give some advice on playing such a part. Don Burke also dropped by, naming Fifi a Brush Box Tree.
 
Fifi has also received support from the newly renamed Larry ELMdurLaurie Oakes and Catrina RownTREE.
 
The production of Grease the Musical will take place tonight, Thursday 4th September at 7:30pm at Wantirna College.
