Ipswich Boy to Play Pugsley in The Addams Family Musical

THEY'RE creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, and an Ipswich boy has joined them; the Addams Family.

Which character from the Addams Family are you most like? Click here to vote
 
Young Ipswich Grammar School student Jaxon Graham-Wilson has been chosen to play Pugsley in Sydney's Capitol Theatre production of The Addams Family - The Broadway Musical.

Landing the role came as an early birthday surprise for Jaxon, who turns 14 tomorrow.
"I've know for a while, but I had to keep it quiet until Sunday, when it was properly announced," Jaxon said. "I flew down to Sydney to audition after my mum found out about it, and we went back down last Monday to do the photo shoot with the other Pugsleys."

Jaxon will star alongside well-known actors John Waters and Russell Dykstra in the show.
The Collingwood Park boy said he would have no trouble getting into the character of Pugsley, Gomez and Morticia's son and brother to Wednesday.

"I've watched all the movies and TV shows and I saw the original cast on Broadway," he said.
Jaxon said he loved the "creepy" nature of the family.

"Pugsley is a bit devious and loves torturing his sister, so I'm basically always in character when I'm annoying my own sister," he joked.

The Addams Family production opens next March, and Jaxon will move to Sydney for nine months with his mother and sister.

"I'll be doing distance ed and my sister will go to school," he said.
"I want to travel and do shows when I'm older so this is exciting."

Family Facts

• The Addams Family was created by American cartoonist Charles Addams.
• It was first developed into a television series in the 1960s, and has since inspired films, books, videos and a musical.

Chefs To Help Tackle Obesity with Good Fork Week

Metro Hotel Ipswich International has joined other Chefs and foodservice operators across the country in the fight against obesity. By taking part in the inaugural Good Fork Week, where participating chefs have been asked to tweak menu items and deliver more nutritious options for diners.

The campaign, which is leveraging off October as National Health Awareness Month, and will run from 2 to 28 October.

Good Fork Week's launch follows the results of Unilever Food Solutions' World Menu Report 3, which looks at eating-out-of-home trends and found that 64 per cent of Australians eat out at least once a week and only half look for or choose a healthier option, despite 66 per cent saying they prefer healthier options.

David Manz Head Chef at the Metro Hotel Ipswich International has made so changes to the lunch time menu to include some healthy choices . One of David’s 'hero dish' menus can be found on the Unilever Food Solutions website

If you're interested in taking part or would like to learn more about the campaign, head to www.goodforkweek.com.au
