Tara Simmonds (Ali)

Seasoned Talk and Tease starlet Tara Simmonds, returns to our stage in this quadruple-threat lead role: actor, singer, dancer and...stripteaser! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! 

Tara is pure blonde perfection in the role of Ali: cool, effervescent and a total crowd pleaser. As a performer, she brings lighthearted professionalism and laser focus to her work. And what a relief, because that is not what "creatives" are typically known for. Her outlandishly photogenic features and multi-talented, refined skills are the cherry on top. 

Raised among the kangaroos and the quaint middle-of-nowhere charm of Western Australia, Tara eventually made the leap to Sydney to make the most of her top-tier musical theatre training.. Just as she had swapped gumboots for glitter for good, she was met by the industry silence of the global pandemic—classical timing—which led to the inevitable artist’s double life: corporate professional by day, burlesque ingénue by night. These days, she saunters seamlessly from spreadsheets to spotlights and navigates the parallel worlds like a bilingual person with dual citizenship.

Part Bond Girl, and part girl-next-door, we are sure you will adore and revere her in equal measure in this glamorous yet intimate immersive musical theatre production!
