[0:06] Josh Mitchell: Hey theater fans, one and all. Welcome back to the We Are Theatre Podcast. We are chilling in Gander once again. And this week we've got standby Alana Tranter with us. Hey Alana, how are you going?

[0:18] Alana Tranter: Hello, I'm good. How are you?

[0:20] Josh Mitchell: I am fantastic. We are deep diving into Come From Away once again. For you guys that are unaware, if you're in Australia, last chance to see the show. It is on right now in Sydney. So make sure you are getting down, getting your tickets and seeing this show because you are not going to want to miss this.

[0:40] Alana Tranter: Yeah, of course.

[0:42] Josh Mitchell: So yeah, I'm a standby, so that means I cover some of the female roles in the show. If someone's sick or injured or has leave or anything like that. I cover five of the six female roles now. So I used to have four, now I have five. The only one I don't cover at the moment is Bonnie, and then every other female I do cover.

[1:02] Josh Mitchell: Yay, how exciting. What has been your favorite role to get in and play over this time?

[1:13] Alana Tranter: Oh, that's a tricky question. Look, they're all so wonderful in their own way. And I mean the best part of my job is the variety that I get with all of the roles. All of the women are just so wonderful and unique in their own special way. And they all have their challenges. The roles like the tracks all have individual challenges. Some of them have a bit more singing, some of them don't really ever leave the stage, some of them have lines that are sort of always on their own, so that's sort of a bit tricky to remember where you're up to. I mean, I love playing Bev Bass. That's obviously a real favorite of mine and one of the ones that I would go on for more because we have like primaries and secondaries, so ones that we go on for straightaway and then others that we would only go for if two or three people were sick. And yeah, Bev and Janice are my sort of two main ones and I adore them both equally. They're just so much fun and yeah, they're really great women to play and portray out there.

[2:15] Josh Mitchell: And this story's a cool one. So what's it like to obviously over time get to tell this story from multiple different perspectives and get that opportunity as an actor?

[2:27] Alana Tranter: Yeah, I mean, I feel like it may, I hope it's not, but I feel like it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. You know, because it's something wonderful about being in an ensemble show where you're all doing it together, but everyone has their moments and their things that they contribute to the storytelling in the show. And I'm just super grateful for that. I mean, yeah, it's even just to rehearse them if you don't actually do them is really wonderful and gives you a lot as an actor. Some of them are really far away from me, some of them, you know, age-wise are really far away from me. Things that I've never experienced in my life yet, being a mother, all those sorts of things. So it's a true gift as an actor to get to sort of stretch my range like that. And yeah, and you know, tell these women's stories and get to sort of play around with so many different characters. It's a real gift and I feel very grateful.

[3:21] Josh Mitchell: I have a huge respect for swings and standbys out in the world, and I feel like some people don't really understand how much work goes into what you do. Do you wanna chat us through your process of learning five characters and remembering stage entrances, lines, harmonies, everything like that? Because all of that stuff would shift from character to character and everything like that. What's that process like for you?

[3:47] Alana Tranter: Yeah, so to be honest, when I first came into this show, I hadn't done that before. I'd covered in the ensemble, but I hadn't done something like this before with this many tracks. And this show is unique in its challenges in that we don't leave the stage a lot when we're out there so there's no time to sort of come off and like read your script or go through you know where you're going to next and things like that. So you really do have to just flat out know it. I mean you should anyway but there's no time for that. I think obviously we had to know all of the lines and lyrics and things like that prior to rehearsals. So I think that was a really big help in having all of that down. And I guess I just think about them each as a sort of beginning, middle and end journey.

I think about yeah this is that track this is where they start and this is their journey and I sort of have them somewhere in my brain like that a bit of a through line. You know we call them tracks and that's sort of how I think about it. This track goes there, they say this, they move there, they do this chair. I have like sheets that I will remind myself of things, numbers and things like that if I need to. And I think I sort of try to keep the ones that I'm most likely to go for the freshest in my brain just because that helps me rather than having all five of them like ready to go that's probably a little bit impossible. So I have like the two or three that I'm most likely to go on for sort of always sitting there ready to go, and then the others are sort of back here somewhere, and if I need to, I can bring them forward and go from there.

But yeah, I'm learning as I'm going to be honest, because I hadn't done it before, and I think I've surprised myself in that I feel like I am definitely capable of doing it, which I wasn't sure I would be. But it's I'm learning as I'm going and sort of finding tricks and tips along the way.

[5:40] Josh Mitchell: Yeah, it's a huge task and huge respect to anyone doing multiple roles in a show. It blows my mind. Getting to obviously go on for the first time, you would have seen the show multiple times when it first opened. What was it like getting that opportunity to step on stage in front of an audience for the first time?

[6:00] Alana Tranter: Well, I have a very interesting story about my first time actually. So at the beginning they told, I'll try and tell this as quickly as I can because it's a long story. We have two primaries at the beginning of our back when we started in 2001, I think it was. We have two primary covers and two secondary covers. And when we started rehearsals, you know, in the playing cast of learning everything, we sort of were told just to focus on our two primary covers so that like all the female tracks were covered, because it was too much to learn four at once. So all through rehearsals and previews, we were just focusing on our two primary covers. I got woken up with a call from our stage manager at probably like nine o'clock in the morning before a Wednesday matinee, and he said, "Oh, this is the call that you've been dreading."

And I thought, "No, no, let's do this, like I'm ready, let's do this, let's get out there." And he said, "No, no, it's for Diane," which was my like fourth character, which I like hadn't looked at. I obviously knew the words and the lyrics, but I had not looked at her because we were told, you know, just to focus on the two. So I was like, "No, no, you don't understand. Like I don't know this." And he was like, "Just get in here as quick as you can." So I think I jumped in the shower for all of 30 seconds, got in an Uber, went to the theater. I didn't have to do the matinee, but then I did have to do the night. So I sort of spent the day, you know, going over as much of it as I can. We weren't sure what was going to happen as to who was going to be going on or how it was going to work.

And there was a part of me that was like this isn't going to happen. There's no way. And then it was yeah, three hours before the second show that they called and said, "Yeah, we're going to get you to do it." And I broke out in hives. And then you know, went to the stage and luckily the wonderful associate choreographer was still here and he was like, "Okay, well you enter from stage left and you're gonna go over here," and we just sort of plotted through as much as we could of the show. We didn't get through all of it. Some of the lovely cast members came in to sort of be bodies around me and help me because they all knew what a nightmare it was. And yeah, I went out that night and did the show and somehow got through it without too many hiccups.

And I think I didn't really get to sort of like enjoy my first moment or really take it in. I think I was out of my body for most of the show because I just couldn't believe that it was happening. But the good news is that it never got worse than that. That was obviously the most frightening way to get out there. And then when I did get to go on for the roles once I'd rehearsed them, you know, it was wonderful. And I mean, I think as a standby, there's only it gets to a point you have to be I think you have to have done it a couple of times and done it in a row before you really can start to like enjoy it and take it in because your brain is just too focused on what you have to do and getting through it, and notes and all that sort of stuff.

So it took a while before I could really take it in and enjoy it out there. But once you do, yeah, it's pretty spectacular. And it does mean being, you know, because we don't do it every time a lot, it does mean that when we do get out there and we get those moments to enjoy it, it is just wonderful.

[9:24] Josh Mitchell: This story is a really cool story, but also a really sensitive story to some and having American cast members and everything like that. What was your experience with 9-11 prior to coming to the show? What was your recollection of the events and then getting to work with everyone and hearing their side of the story? What was that like for you?

[9:43] Alana Tranter: Yeah, it was really interesting. We had a day in rehearsals where we sort of sat around and spoke about our experiences of 9-11, and it was really different for everyone and different, you know, for the Americans than it was for the Australians. I was like young-ish at the time, so I don't know that I really got the gravity of it. I remember it being a big deal, and I remember sort of like adults sort of, you know, I could sense that there was something going on. And I remember watching a bit of it on TV, but yeah, I really didn't I wasn't old enough to sort of realize how much it changed the world. And it wasn't really until we were sitting in rehearsals that day talking about it and listening to people's experience that I realized how much it did change the world.

You know, even just you know, I'm sure you'll feel the same, but our experience with going to the airport, I can't imagine it being any different, but you know, for a lot of them it was very different after that. So yeah, so I think it's you know, it was definitely a big part of my life, but I don't think I really got the gravity of it at the time. I was just too young, but I knew something big was happening.

[10:54] Alana Tranter: Yeah, 100%. Um I was like five or something, so I remember being in school and having like a chat of some sort, but I don't remember anything about the specific day or what I was doing or anything like that. It's so like it's just interesting to be like I spoke to um Emma last week, and obviously she had a more in-depth experience being able to process everything and all of that. So it's uh it's interesting hearing everyone's perspectives on it. So it would have been very interesting to be in that room and just having that conversation and hearing all of that. Um getting to put these characters together and bringing them not always to stage, but just getting to find your own version of these characters. Um what's one of the biggest things you've learned over this period um about this story?

[11:52] Alana Tranter: Uh that's a tricky question. I mean, I've learned so much about this story. I mean, I you know, I'm I think like most people, I didn't know anything about this story until the musical. Um, you know, and that's what I love is uh about the show so much is you know, people sort of realizing that in this really horrible time in history there was this, you know, part of the world where something really beautiful was happening um because of it. And yeah, I I'm not sure that I could pick one. Um I think I guess it's sort of the best thing is that it's sort of you know uh restores your faith in humanity a little bit and and and the importance of community and kindness. Um and I think it's really easy to forget that.

So I think um not that I've learned that, but it's sort of it is a really good reminder always to me um in the importance of that and that there are still people out there and you know the majority of us, you know, um do want to help and do want to create a better world for everyone. So I think that's sort of what I take away from it the most.

[12:52] Josh Mitchell: And speaking of community, you guys had a really unique experience where you got to open the same show twice in the same city um with COVID and all of that. So what was that like for you? Obviously having that build-up with the show opening and then 2020 happening, going into lockdown, multiple lockdowns, and then opening, closing again and coming back for the end of the Melbourne run. What was that like for you? How did you process that whole year?

[13:21] Alana Tranter: Yeah, I mean, look, I think we're all still processing it, right? Um I it the first opening, um, you know, they you they were chalk and cheese. Um uh the first opening, you know, we really uh just enjoyed it like you would any other show. It was wonderful having, you know, um all of the real people over here to celebrate it with and to meet them and and get to share the story, um their story with them. That was really amazing. Um, you know, we had a really big amazing opening night party. It was it was um it was a big thing. And then obviously this time around it was much less of a thing, but it it almost sort of felt like a bigger achievement in a way because you know, we were doing sort of what we thought was the impossible only, you know, months beforehand.

Um, and also I think the show hits it still hits as hard, but in a little in a different way now, and and possibly like even more if if it's you know, if you can imagine that, um well, you can imagine it because you've seen it, but uh uh uh like it sort of hits you harder this time, I think in a in a way. Um, but yeah, processing that it was really hard. I'm I'm sure like you know, everyone's been saying it was really emotional coming back to it and revisiting it, and we did sort of start from scratch. Um, and I think there was just a lot of gratitude for being back, you know, because for there was a long time where we just you didn't know if you would be. Um and I think I remember standing, uh, we would often rehearse across the road uh from the comedy upstairs, and I so we could see people coming into the theater um when the show was going on, and I just would often stand there and sort of be so grateful that people were coming because I thought even if we get it up and running, are people gonna come back to the theater?

Are people gonna feel safe to do that? Are they gonna want to see the show? Um, and I just I used to stand there and just watch them all lining up to go in and just I was just so grateful that um, you know, not only were we doing it, but people were coming.

[15:17] Alana Tranter: Uh getting obviously um going back to work was a big deal. So, what was that like getting back into that room with people and getting to share that creative uh vibe once again with humans in an actual room and getting to like redo this story over again?

[15:38] Alana Tranter: Yeah, it was very emotional, it was uh very bizarre. Uh I mean, literally, had you asked me a month before, I would have said there's no way that's happening. I really would have. So I think I think there was a lot of uh a feeling of surrealness of like, are we here? Are we doing this? Is this happening? You know, um, are you real? Uh um it was different because you know, we were all doing masks and having COVID tests and and checking our temperature and um sitting away from each other and th in music halls and things like that. So it was sort of there's still that like um a little bit of fear in the air, but just you know, mostly gratitude to be back doing it and also getting like we, you know, we got to rediscover it and and um add things and and move things around a bit in terms of our performances and um, you know, yeah, tell the story now for for the world that we're in now.

[16:34] Josh Mitchell: Did your the way you interpret certain things change? Like, did you read lines a little differently with what happened in 2020?

[16:46] Alana Tranter: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I think it was more just finding the parallels of what we'd just been through and you know, what the show um, you know, talks about things like not being able to, I think there was a deeper level of understanding and a and a level of like um personal um being able to sort of yeah, completely understand what they're talking about because you'd experienced it like a lived experience. So, you know, not being able to get to loved ones, um, sort of being isolated, uh not knowing like what your next day is gonna look like, not knowing what's happening, that fear of just the unknown, um, of what the world's gonna look like, you know, all that sort of stuff. Um, I'm sure someone's mentioned it, but even things like the toilet paper line, um, you know, suddenly just um, you know, it hits a little differently.

Um so yeah, there's there's um there was lots of things that I was like, wow, yeah, that's that's super similar to to what we've just gone through. Um, and you could sort of yeah, understand it on a deeper level.

[17:49] Josh Mitchell: Getting to sit in the audience and watch the show um, obviously to uh as a part of your job, which is a pretty cool part of your job. What's your favorite moment in the show to actually perceive as an audience member?

[18:07] Alana Tranter: Uh I mean, I love watching the first time that I I'll just say this, that the stage moves um because I don't think anyone's sort of expecting that, and it comes quite late in the piece. Um, but probably like one of my favorite things is watching the audience watch the show. Because um, you know, I've in Brisbane, for instance, uh we sat in on the first preview, some of us, and I was just like so excited to see how a new city would would take the show and and um would they laugh, would they be in it, would they, you know, um get everything that they needed to get. So I love watching uh the audience as much as I love watching the show sometimes, just because it's you know, you you understand it's such a uh such a wonderful ride to go on, and I and I love sort of seeing that on their faces.

I think rides are perfect um summary of the show. It's a it's an emotional roller coaster, as I've explained it in past episodes with this show. Um absolute non-stop from that opening all the way to the end.

[19:14] Alana Tranter: Getting to carry the emotional arc um also with character to character, because your characters have their different emotional arcs in different places on the show. Um being on stage and seeing the other characters you play kind of have their moments do you feel things differently in the roles that you play on certain nights seeing other people act those roles that you're aware of um I don't think so I mean there's something that happens where you uh some we we sort of talk about it in our um standby fam where we kind of have to shut those other characters out for a second um it because you could easily sometimes I found myself being like oh I'm just gonna watch that person in that moment because actually I'm not sure what the traffic is and that's sort of when you'll you know forget to do something in your track. So you sort of have to like treat it as this is my track right now and I'm just taking it in like every other cast member's taking it in, you know?

[20:21] Alana Tranter: Um I'm yeah, I mean I think that's the best I can answer that is I I try to sort of uh just watch it in the same way that any of them would watch each other out there or or or yeah just be in the moment. Um I mean it's it's wonderful because we do there are moments where you aren't in the moment like in the moment with the other actor and you can just sort of watch. Um and I I do love doing that. Um but yeah in terms of sort of like taking any notes or anything like that about um because I know I might play it at some point, I I kind of have to shut that off yeah to get through that particular track, yeah.

[20:56] Josh Mitchell: Amazing. You've got a pretty awesome cast and you had some new cast members come in, uh, for the end of Melbourne. What's it been like to h kind of have that fresh blight, especially after lockdown coming in, having some fresh people interpreting things different ways, having different takes on that. You had a few new standbys come in as well. Having that cool, we're rediscovering the show, but we've also got some new faces coming in, interpreting things differently. Um, what was that like as a standby and getting to hear different perspectives from people that are looking at material for the first time?

[21:30] Alana Tranter: Yeah, it's wonderful. It's it's exciting, it's funny, um, it's interesting, you know. Uh there are so many ways that these roles uh I mean, you uh not so many ways, but we're very empowered as um actors to find our own versions of the roles.

[21:48] Alana Tranter: Uh so you're never watching, you know, a copycat performance or or uh sorry, like a cookie cutter performance or something like that. Um you're always watching that person bring themselves to the role and that is really exciting and it's fun to sort of sit there and go, Oh, I would never have thought about it like that. That's a really interesting, you know, take on that line or um I love the way that, you know, that character is is different to the way the last actor played it. Um both of them are just as wonderful as each other. It's just different and it's really interesting to watch and see how, you know, interpretations can be completely different but still land the same.

[22:25] Alana Tranter: Yeah. Um so yeah, it's been really awesome to watch that and um and to see how they all yeah, bring their their own personality into their roles and um yeah, I think it's only ever good for the show. Uh, you know, whenever there's another actor on that is new or something or a standby is on or anything like that, um, it sort of forces you to listen. Um so I think it's it's only ever a good thing, um, when you've got new energy out there 'cause it just sort of reinvigorates everyone.

[22:53] Josh Mitchell: Yeah, amazing. I love seeing uh standbys on um in any show purely just 'cause you see different things. If you've seen shows multiple times like I do, sorry guys, I just that much money, it's ridiculous. But like even when I saw you guys in Melbourne, um Joseph was out the second and third time that I saw the show, and I had Ash in, and just his perception on that Kevin character was just slightly different, but also the exact same, and it was just like really really cool, especially in a small ensemble show where it's not uh woman seven in the back row that does some ensemble part that if you're looking at the show for the first time you don't really notice.

[23:36] Josh Mitchell: Um it's someone that has a stack of lines and is front of face the whole show, like it it's with this show, it's very unique getting to go on because it's everybody is front and center.

[23:52] Alana Tranter: Yeah, that's it, yeah.

[23:53] Josh Mitchell: Any role you're going for it.

[23:55] Alana Tranter: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[23:56] Josh Mitchell: Absolutely right. As an overall point, what is your favorite thing about the story of Come From Away?

[24:06] Alana Tranter: Well, I I think sort of what I uh probably already mentioned, but uh it's just that first of all that it's um true that it's you know that it's something that actually happened, um, and that it's yeah, that it centers around community and kindness. I think um it's something so simple, but it's also completely unbelievable. Um, and I love that. I love how you know they see it as uh something that is often thrown around is they see it as we just made a few sandwiches. Um but it is just so much more than that, you know, and uh yeah, I love its simplicity, but it's also so enormous, and I love that.

[24:47] Alana Tranter: I love that um both those sides of the story, and that just that it's true and that this happened, and you know, it always just makes it so much more interesting, I think.

[24:55] Josh Mitchell: Yeah.

[24:55] Alana Tranter: Sorry guys, I am jumping all over the place this episode just because I have so many things pop into my head because I'm thinking of things like this here sitting in the audience, getting to watch a show, and then when it finishes, getting to kind of walk out with the audience and hearing their reaction. What's that like for you as an actor to get to hear that first hand response?

[25:18] Alana Tranter: Like obviously you get it sometimes at stage doors and that type of thing, but hear that instant as soon as the lights go out, response. What what's that like?

[25:26] Alana Tranter: Yeah, it's really wonderful. Uh it just sort of fills you with warmth and you know, joy. Um, because we think it's so special. I mean, I know it is, but you just want everyone to agree with you, and you know, that doesn't that doesn't always happen on a show. You might think it's amazing and um, you know, the audience might not, or some people might not, but I I I genuinely feel that it's quite unanimous that this is a is a great piece of theatre, and to be involved in something like that is um doesn't happen very often, I don't think, and uh it's yeah, it's so wonderful, you know.

[26:04] Alana Tranter: Sometimes you see them sort of wiping their eyes or even just being in the audience when everyone leaps to their feet at the end and getting to feel that energy, also you know, because everyone's bursting to clap because um you're not really you only clap three times throughout the show, so um their energy sometimes is just like palpable in the audience, and you know, even sometimes you'll be walking to the car park and you'll hear um people talking about it, and that's really fun.

[26:28] Alana Tranter: I quite like it when they um if you've been on and they or you're walking with someone who's in the show and they um they're talking and then they don't realize and they look at you and they're like, oh and then they sort of, you know, they want to tell you how great it was and how um you know how much they loved it, and that's just I don't think I'd ever get sick of hearing that.

[26:45] Josh Mitchell: Yeah, I it just guys, I am wordl speechless, wordless, oh my god, Englisless. Um if you guys have not seen Come From Away, I have said this multiple times through my multiple episodes on this show.

[27:02] Josh Mitchell: You need to see this show. Um it is one of the I would say most thought provoking and eye-opening shows that you will see purely because the message there is something in this show for everybody. Doesn't matter your age, race, gender, whatever it is, there is something here for you.

[27:24] Josh Mitchell: Um and the way this show is put on, and I can't wait to see it from the size of the comedy into the Capitol in Sydney. I'm excited to see how with the expansion, how that goes, that's gonna be insane.

[27:39] Josh Mitchell: Um but just to be in this room and hear this story and share the moment with so many other people, um it's just something special that can't be replicated in any way, I don't think. This show just you need to get your tickets.

[27:55] Josh Mitchell: Um finally, before we wrap things up, Alana, um getting to play so many different characters. What are your kind of top moments on stage that you get to play and be a part of?

[28:12] Alana Tranter: Yeah. I mean, me and this guy is uh is always lovely, sometimes terrifying. Um, but when there's a moment um where she talks about uh you know lifting off the ground and you're sort of looking upwards and this the sort of light's quite um it's sort of getting a bit brighter and it always I always have a bit of a moment this is a bit nerdy, but um, you know, that sort of inner child in you that always wanted to do that, I always get a bit of a you're doing it moment in that.

[28:42] Alana Tranter: Um, you know, because she's talking about lifting off and and sort of experiencing that thing for the first time that she loves. And so I always feel a bit of a parallel in that moment of you're sort of getting to do what you always wanted to do, and and um that always sort of yeah, that that um gets me.

[29:00] Alana Tranter: Um and I think I mean I love being on stage and watching uh the audience react to Colby Kindle anytime I'm out there and I get to sort of watch, um, you know, because he has a lot of moments where he uh really sort of I mean we all chat to the audience directly, but he he sort of gets a really special relationship with them and I think they get to sort of go on that real journey of his character sort of changing with that with them, uh with him.

[29:25] Alana Tranter: And I love being out there and listening to them. They always, you know, um laugh so much at him and and have the best time with him, and I I love that.

[29:34] Alana Tranter: Um I love doing screech because it's always just so lovely, no matter who you're on for, everyone's out there having a good time and you get to sort of connect with um with everyone.

[29:45] Alana Tranter: And then the other moment I really love is uh the very end when uh Claude sort of steps forward and talks about, you know, we commemorate uh what we lost, but we also want to know what we found. Uh I might have gotten that wrong, but that moment.

[30:00] Alana Tranter: Um yeah, I first of all there's a feeling of relief because I've gotten through the show and I've done it, but also just that like moment to like where we're all together and we're like, yes, this is the story that we are telling, and we've told it, and then we sort of snap back out to the audience, and I always just love that moment so much.

[30:19] Alana Tranter: The moment for me is also kind of one of the more peak emotional points in the show as well, because it's the only time one of the only times where you as an audience member get to sit there and take in because it's the one of the only slow moments in the show where you get to take in the last hour, and then all of a sudden it picks back up, and you're like, but it's it's like the emotion hits you, and then you're like, Oh my good, okay, cool, we're back up.
