Andrew Hallsworth - Associate Choreographer

Andrew’s choreographic credits include his work on the original Australian production of  Eurobeat - Almost Eurovision for which he was nominated for a Green Room Award. This production was revived for the Edinburgh Fringe and a UK tour that transferred to the West End.

Other choreographic highlights include Menopause - The Musical (Helpmann and Green Room Award nominations), ‘Indigeridoo’ and ‘Ja’ime’s Assembly Routine’ of the cult television show We Can Be Heroes, Leader of the Pack (Betty Pounder Green Room Award Best Choreography, Helpmann Award nomination) and Sideshow Alley (QPAC and Pratt Prize workshop).

Andrew’s theatrical career started at 17 as a dancer in the Australasian tour of 42nd Street, which led to Me and My Girl (dance captain), Red Hot and Rhonda, West Side Story and Jolson (dance captain). He was associate director/choreographer on the 1998 and 2006 productions of Fiddler on the Roof, starring Topol and working alongside Sammy Dallas Bayes. Andrew’s longstanding involvement with Shout! The Legend of the Wild One took him from dance captain to resident director and assistant choreographer to Ross Coleman. He was resident director on Oh! What a Night starring Marcia Hines and Gary Sweet.

Andrew’s involvement with the Production Company started as a performer in Funny Girl, Call Me Madam, Gypsy and Guys and Dolls, and for the 2002 and 2003 seasons he teamed up with Ross Coleman as co-choreographer on The Music Man and Bye Bye Birdie (they received Green Room Award nominations for both shows). In 2004 he choreographed Carousel starring David Campbell and in 2008 Mame starring Rhonda Birchmore.

Alongside his commitments as associate choreographer on Priscilla Queen of the Desert - The Musical, Andrew has been choreographing the first Australian series of So You Think You Can Dance.
