Kirby Lunn

Notes

Kirby Lunn has recently returned to Australia after performing in New York in the last few years. Since her return she could most recently be seen starring as Britney Spears in the pop concert sensation ‘Hit Me Britney One More Time’. While in the states Kirby stared as Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde The Musical’ and Amber Von Tussle in ‘Hairspray’. Her time in the States was made complete by joining the North American touring company of ‘Kinky Boots’ understudying the role of Lauren under the original direction of the incredible Jerry Mitchell. Kirby made her professional debut at the age of 18 in the musical ‘Eurobeat: Almost Eurovision’ and then quickly went on to be cast in the original Australian production of ‘Hairspray’. She then made her leading role debut as Sarah in ‘Rolling Thunder Vietnam’ and while spending some time studying in London, she got the thrill of squeezing into a very tight cat-suit for the role of Maureen in ‘Rent’. When not performing, she is always working on her craft as an actor. Her favourite training includes masterclasses with Stephen Schwartz, Andrew Lippa, Tim Rice and the Resident Directors of Broadway shows Mean Girls, Wicked and Waitress. Alongside her performing Kirby is also an up & coming writer who last year performed her own work playing Marilyn Monroe in ‘The Man.’ She is an avid supporter in new work and has been involved of many workshops and developments for up and coming shows for Broadway and in Australia.
