Tony Tardio

So it was a, a huge, mega dancing school, and she was an amazing teacher.

And, uh, so I, I kind of knew I liked it, and then a friend of mine, um, he wanted to go and audition for a m- a musical in Adelaide, and his mum said, "Do you wanna accompany Tony?" 'Cause she didn't wanna send him over there.

We were only 19 or 18, actually.

"And, uh, would you accompany Tony to the audition?" And so I did, and I got the job.

Ah.

And [laughs] poor Tony didn't.

And then, uh, so that's kind of just wh- where it started.

So yes, I was always into it.
