The former Illawarra local is starring in the Capitol Theatre’s new production of Fiddler on the Roof, which opens in Sydney on Thursday.
The 54-year-old spends most of his time between Melbourne and New York, and is so busy he doesn’t need an agent. These days he doesn’t get much of a chance to visit his home town, but he said the evolution of the performing arts scene is becoming well-known.
“It pops up sometimes, and I know it’s very healthy and very good,” he said.
He recently caught up with Nancy Hayes who had nothing but praise for the once sleepy-sister to Sydney, after performing alongside Todd McKenney in “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” at IPAC.
Warlow said he felt like “Columbus in a new world”, with his career blossoming on Broadway.
Fiddler on the Roof will run at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre until the end of April.
