ENJOLRAS – Scott Farrow (March 12 to 24)
Scott’s
honest portrayal of Jared in Blackrock and his acclaimed
performance as heroin addict Mark Renton in Irvine Welsh's
Trainspotting (Old Nick Company) confirmed his place as one of
Hobart's finest actors. Scott has delivered many memorable
performances since his stage debut at age 17 as Huck Finn in Big
River at the Theatre Royal (Summerstock Theatre Company). Other
early shows include Return to the Forbidden Planet, Sweet
Charity, Don's Party, Our Town, Dimboola and the Hobart Rep
Pantomime Sleeping Beauty.
Scott has since gone on to appear as Kenickie in Grease
(Pierrot Productions), as the tortured musician Roger in RENT
(ExitLeft), and in early 2007 Scott performed the role of the dim
but charming orphan, Tobias Ragg in the critically acclaimed
production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon
Barber of Fleet Street (Shouting in
the Evening). Most recently, Scott has been busy performing as the
The Rum Tum Tugger in the arena spectacular Cats (ExitLeft).
A gifted singer, who can effortlessly manage styles from Rock to the
Rat Pack, Scott has performed throughout the state in numerous
cabarets, corporate events and concerts. He was a member of the
choir that supported Michael Crawford at the Derwent Entertainment
Centre on the Tasmanian leg of his Australian Tour. He has also lent
his talents to support the hugely popular annual charity events
'Music for the Masses' and for the Hobart City Mission charity
concerts entitled 'Me and My Friends'.
In May 2007, Scott was fortunate enough to be able to live out a
dream by performing the role of Jamie in the Jason Robert Brown
musical The Last Five Years – a personal favourite of
Scott’s. This performance was extra special, as the
producer-director of the production was Allison Farrow, Scott’s
sister, and he performed opposite his real-life partner, Nicole
Simms.
