'Together at Last' - Actor, Singer, Teacher - Sally Bourne
Sally Bourne's career began at the age of 12 when she was cast in the title role in the original Australian production of the musical Annie. A role that cast her alongside Hayes Gordon, Jill Perryman and Nancye Hayes. 40+ years on from that auspicious debut performance, Sally has worked in musicals, on T.V, in cabaret, concerts and as a comedian both in Australia and in London.
Her destiny as a performer seems inevitable. Her mother was a dancer/choreographer and her father, the legendary Australian actor, singer and comedian, Ernie Bourne. Her parents met at the Palais Theatre St Kilda, in the musical The Desert Song. She wasn't born in a trunk but it was pretty close.
Most recently, Sally was seen in the sixth instalment of her cabaret series with Susan-ann Walker; Subtle, playing to packed houses in Melbourne. She was also featured in the ensemble cast of the new musical work Mrs Prime Minister, composed by John Thorn and written & directed by Terence O'Connell. Before this new work Sally appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival as a part of the improv team Spontaneous Broadway at Trades Hall.
Her extensive theatre credits in Australia include; Brigadoon, Company, Moonshadow (Original Cast). The Boy From Oz, Nine, Damn Yankees, Once We Lived Here (Original Cast) & Shane Warne - The Musical (Original Cast).
Television credits include Prisoner, I Can Jump Puddles, The Sullivans and Neighbours.
Sally lived & worked in London from 1991 to 2004 appearing in My Fair Lady, Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hey Mr Producer, A - My Name is Alice, The John Wayne Principle & the world premier productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical; The Beautiful Game and Jerry Springer the Opera at the Royal National Theatre.
During her time in London, Sally made her debut as a stand up comic with her comedy partner Lucinda Cowden & was a finalist in the 'So You Think You're Funny' awards as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Festival with the comedy troupe The Hairstyles.
She can also be seen in the Alan Parker movie; Evita playing Eva's maid.
Sally is also one of Melbourne's busiest singing teachers & has been on staff at some of the U.K's & Melbourne's most prestigious theatre schools, as well as directing cabaret showcases at The Victorian College of the Arts & Patrick Studio's Australia.
Sally is great fun. Armed with an abundance of anecdotes, she is the perfect guest. She is also a source of tremendous knowledge, informed by her celebrated longevity in a career that is often precarious, but never dull.
