'AIDA' cast profile: Brittney Kelly

Brittney Kelly makes a sacrifice for her people as Nehebka in 'AIDA'.

Characters: Nehebka/Egyptian

GCP Girl: Tell me a little about yourself, such as your past shows here or elsewhere, a particular area of study, occupation, hobby, etc. 

Brittney: I've been doing shows at the GCP since I was 8 years old. Rhonda Wilson and I met, and she got me to audition for Annie Warbucks! I've also spent a lot of my time performing at PK Yonge.

GCP Girl: Tell me about your character(s). What makes her/him fun or rewarding to play?

Brittney: Nehebka is the most selfless character I've ever played. She is so very passionate and loving towards her people. I'm having fun with the role because of the culture difference between her and I.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite musical number in AIDA? 

Brittney: If I HAD to only pick one, it would be "Written in the stars". The music and lyrics in that song are heartbreakingly beautiful. "Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I never learned what it is to be in love and have that love returned"

GCP Girl: What is your favorite moment in AIDA? 

Brittney: The dance break in "Dance of the robe". SO MUCH FUN!!

GCP Girl: Why did you decide to audition for AIDA? 

Brittney: It was the first Broadway show I ever saw, and I was lucky enough to see the original cast. Since then, I've always been in love with everything about the show.

GCP Girl: Why should everyone in town see this production? 

Brittney: Because the story of Aida will leave them touched, and have them question what the word "fate" really means to them...

GCP Girl: Talk about one of your most memorable theatrical experiences ever, either as a performer or audience member. 

Brittney: Well, there was that one time when I was doing 42nd street and forgot to wear my tap shoes... or maybe the time in George M when I landed a split and managed to pull a muscle and had to get carried offstage.

Thanks, Brittney!
