Well this week CBC launched a new show. They are looking for the new Maria for the Sound of Music.
Well when I was watching who should pop on to the screen but Sam Walkes. Sam made the top twenty but was not one of the top 10. Now Sam i know personally from our years of living in Hamilton. The Walkes family were dear friends of ours. Sam’s parents watched Roo for me, Sam’s mom and Sam helped me clean up after my devastating fire, Sam’s mom and her younger sister hung out at the hotel when we couldn’t go back to our home…..Sam would of been a great Maria. In fact she had played Maria in a local Hamilton production last year and from what I heard she was amazing..Now I spoke to Sam’s Mom and was told that Andrew Lyold Webber was great with her and recognized that she has amazing talent. She really does. Get to know the name Sam Walkes I am sure you will see her on Canadian stages if not world stages in the years ahead, She is a talent to be reckoned with.
