Biography
Falzon is third of six children born to a Maltese father and an Australian mother[8] His family moved to Brisbane from Sydney in his early teens.[9]
He attended Kelvin Grove High School in Brisbane, known for its impressive drama department, where he was an active member of the school choir and musical productions.[3] Upon graduation, he intended studying English and Psychology at University of Queensland, but deferred to focus more on performance.
He credits the Harry M. Miller arena production of Jesus Christ Superstar, starring John Farnham and Jon Stevens in 1992 as inspiring him to a career in musical theatre.[3] Falzon would have the opportunity to perform in Jesus Christ Superstar, playing the role of Judas at AIS Arena in Canberra in June 2015 opposite Luke Kennedy as Jesus.[10]
Falzon lists his first leather jacket as one of his favourite possessions. He wore the jacket to his successful audition for the role of Galileo in Ben Elton, Queen musical We Will Rock You.[11]
He took the role of Galileo in the Edinburgh Playhouse production of We Will Rock You in part because he had not been to Edinburgh before and wished to see the city.[12]
Early career
Falzon started singing professionally in Brisbane with VocalPoint – an 8-part group specializing in close harmony, and performing both nationally and internationally. It was through his work with VocalPoint that he was invited to audition for The Pirates of Penzance [9] in 1994, in which he was cast. Falzon’s appearance in the QPAC & EssGee Entertainment production marked the start of his professional career and he toured with the company to New Zealand.
He returned to EssGee as a sailor in HMS Pinafore, understudying the role of Ralph, after performing in Hello Dolly in 1995 for The Gordon/Frost Organisation. Falzon also toured internationally with The Really Useful Company production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat[13]
Both HMS Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance were recorded for DVD.
In 2000 he starred in the short film Computer Boy, a parody of the success film The Matrix for Abe Forsythe. Falzon played the role of Neo, and won a Melbourne Underground Film Festival[14] for Best Actor. He styled the character after The Matrix actor, Keanu Reeves's portrayal of Ted - from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.[15]
During this period, Falzon began a production company (SMA Productions) [16] with entertainer colleagues providing event entertainment packages all over the world. He currently splits his time between performing and managing his production company Good Egg Creative.[9]

Theatre
2003-2005
In 2003, Falzon was cast in the lead role (Galileo Figaro) for the Australian production of We Will Rock You.[19] The show had opened in the West End in 2002, and was followed by Melbourne in August, 2003 (the first production outside the UK) [20] before touring the rest of Australia in 2004 - 2005. Featuring the music of Queen and book by Ben Elton, the production allowed Falzon to combine his love of rock music with his career as a stage actor.[21] He starred alongside Kate Maree Hoolihan as Scaramouche, Amanda Harrison as Oz and Jason Chong– (later Daniel Fletcher) as Brit. We Will Rock You is set in a dystopian future where all popular culture is manufactured and marketed by the mega-corporation Global Soft run by the evil Killer Queen (Annie Crummer) and her second in command Khashoggi (Ross Givern).[22] The production also starred Robert Grubb as Pop.[23] Of the experience, Falzon said
"To work with these guys and have them have faith in you to be able to tell the story and channel Freddy (sic) Mercury for people that love his voice and his music, its very humbling and tremendously exciting" The Sunday Times, 8 December 2013 [24]
We Will Rock You toured in Melbourne (7 August 2003 – 4 March 2004 Regent Theatre), Perth (27 April–June 2004 Burswood Theatre) and Brisbane (27 July-25 September 2004 QPAC), before finishing in Sydney (9 October 2004 – 13 March 2005 Star City Lyric Theatre). Falzon left the touring production at the end of its Australian run[25] only to return to the role of Galileo in Japan after Peter Murphy (who had since taken over the role) badly injured his knee.
2006-2008
In 2007 Falzon was cast as the Artilleryman in the Australian and New Zealand tour of Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds- Alive on Stage.[26] The only touring company outside Europe[27] included album alumi Chris Thompson, and Justin Hayward in their original roles, and was supplemented by the addition of Falzon (Artilleryman), Rachael Beck (Beth) and Shannon Noll (Parson).[28] The cast performed against a towering 30 foot Machine Fighting Machine and the holographic head of narrator Richard Burton, as well as musical talents of the 48-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings and 10-piece Black Smoke Band, conducted by composer Jeff Wayne.[29]
After five weeks rehearsal, he donned lashes, a mini-dress and knee-high boots as "Hedwig Schmitt" in John Cameron Mitchell’s glam rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch for David M Hawkins (Showtunes).[30] He was supported by co-star Lucinda Shaw as ‘Yitzhak’[31] during the highly successful 2008 Brisbane and Sydney run.[32]
2009-2011
Falzon returned to the role of Galileo again in 2009/10 for the UK tour of We Will Rock You, replacing Alex Gaumond, and performing opposite Sarah French-Ellis as Scaramouche and Brenda Edwards as Killer Queen.[33] He performed at both the Edinburgh Playhouse from 4 November 2009 to 9 January 2010[34] and at the Dublin O2 Arena.[35]
In 2010 he returned briefly to Australia from London, for a one off concert performance of Adam Guettel's Floyd Collins.[36] Falzon played the role of Homer opposite Peter Cousens as Floyd,[37] under the musical direction of Anne-Maree MacDonald.
He joined the 2009 Harvest Rain Theatre Company production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, in the role of an Elvis inspired, Robbie Williams influenced Pharaoh.[38]
Falzon returned to The War of the Worlds in 2010 for its European tour, this time creating two new roles, that of an astronomer (William Rowland, teamed with Lily Osborne as Vera May)[39] at the commencement of the musical, and during the epilogue as NASA controller Marvin Krauth (voiced by Jerry Wayne). The 20 date arena tour of the UK & Europe included Amsterdam, Dublin and Manchester along with London's Wembley and O2 arenas.
Returning permanently to Australia in 2011 for Rock of Ages Falzon starred as the quintessential 80's rocker, creating a character, that brought "sexual charisma to monstrously vain Stacee Jaxx "Herald Sun 11 April 2011[40] A pastiche of bad boy rockers from the 80’s, he drew on several iconic rock bands for inspiration including Bon Jovi, Van Halen and Whitesnake for the role.[21] Rock of Ages also starred End of Fashion front man Justin Burford as Drew and Amy Lehpamer as Sherry. Rock of Ages played in Melbourne and Brisbane, in its 8 month run.[41]
2012-Present
In 2012 Squabbalogic and Darlinghurst Theatre [2] premiered the Adam Gwon penned chamber musical Ordinary Days, with Falzon originating the role of Jason in Australia.[42] Directed by Grace Barnes and under the musical direction of Paul Geddes, the show starred Rachael Beck as Claire, as well as Erica Lovell (Deb) and Jay James-Moody (Warren). Set in New York, Ordinary Days was sung entirely acoustically, with the sole support of Geddes on piano.[43]
In The Production Company’s Green Room Award winning[44] 2012 re-imagining of Chess,[45] he "created an ominous presence as The Arbiter (the bare-chested Chess referee) and his solo number brought the house down with his ability to engage an audience." Aussie Theatre, 24 August 2012 [46] Directed by Gale Edwards and featuring music by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and lyrics by Tim Rice, Chess starred Alinta Chidzey, Bert La Bonte, Mark Dickinson, Martin Crewes, Silvie Paladino and Simon Gleeson.[47] As with all The Production Company ventures, Chess ran for 10 performances at Melbourne’s Arts Centre, from 18–26 August 2012.[48]
Falzon returned to the UK in November 2012 to reprise his 2010 role in the stage production of Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds.[49] A complete New Generation of not only the stage production, but the seminal rock album from which it came was announced 11 November 2011.[50] Academy Award nominee Liam Neeson lead the cast in the holographic role of The Journalist, replacing Richard Burton, with Will Stapleton, Jason Donovan and Ricky Wilson taking roles on stage.[51] This production was filmed at London's O2 Arena on 15 December and released in cinemas through Universal Pictures.[52]
On 25 September 2013 it was announced that he would play scientist Leó Szilárd in the world premiere of Atomic.[53] With a book and lyrics by Danny Ginges and Gregory Bonsignore; and music and lyrics by Philip Foxman, this musical explores the relationship of the scientist and the woman he loves against the moral dilemma of building the ultimate weapon. Falzon stated that a motivating factor in his decision to accept the role, as well as the contemporary rock score (composed by Philip Foxman), was the opportunity to create an entirely new, unestablished character.[54] Atomic is to be directed by Damien Gray and star Falzon as Leo Szilard with Bronwyn Mulcahy as Trude Weiss Szilard; David Whitney as Enrico Fermi; Simon Brook McLachlan; Blake Erickson; Lana Nesnas and Christy Sullivan. Its premiere season was from 16 to 30 November 2013 at NIDA Parade Theatre in Sydney.[55] Atomic was recast for its Off Broadway debut the following year, however Falzon was called to New York to record the cast album.
Falzon returned to theatre in 2015 to play Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at AIS Arena Canberra opposite Luke Kennnedy as Jesus.[56] His performance was described as "riveting, commanding the stage and traversing the fine line between villain and victim. It is a tour de force performance that compels engagement." (Peter Wilkins, Sydney Morning Herald)

Concert
Since the beginning of his career, Falzon has performed in concert many times as both a featured artist and as a soloist. This has included a gala performance of Side By Side By Sondheim for Enda Markey featuring a cast of outstanding Australian musical theatre stars and special guest Ruthie Henshall[66] (continuing on as the male vocalist in the touring version of the revue). He has performed Live at the Basement[67] with his own band as well as a show in the Sydney Musical Theatre Cabaret Festival in 2012. He headlined Wickedly Showstopping with former Wicked star Lucy Durack.[68] Falzon performed in concert with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in June 2013 for TSO goes to Broadway with Trisha Crowe and Guy Noble, which coincided with the launch of the musical theatre compilation album I Dreamed A Dream: Hits Songs of Broadway.[69] He is also a frequent guest performer for dignitaries including former Olympic gold medallist Betty Cuthbert[70] and CHOGM heads of state including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair[71] As a former cast member of The Wharf Revue, Falzon performed at the Sydney Opera House 40th Birthday Concert. He again performed at Sydney Opera House supported by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra this time with Mig Ayesa, Amanda Harrison and Carly Thomas-Smith for three performances of The Music of Queen - Rock and Symphonic Spectacular in Sydney, followed by a further three in Western Australia.[24] The concert series began on 7 February 2014 followed by two performances on 8 February, before three performances in Perth, Western Australia (Joondalup Resort,[72] Riverside Theatre[73] and Boardwalk Theatre)[74] with the Perth Symphony Orchestra from 13–15 February. All three of the Opera House performances sold out and the Perth shows were at capacity,[75] including an 8000 person event for the City of Joondalup at the Joondalup Resort.[76]
He is a keen supporter of many charities,[77] having performed at associated fundraisers including Light The Night,[78] Hats Off!,[79] Twisted Broadway,[80] Variety and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
“Whether it’s the gay community, Variety, breast cancer support – it doesn’t matter. If it’s something I believe needs support I’ll always get behind it and in the end all I’m doing is singing some songs and that’s not a huge commitment on my part.” Michael Falzon in the Star Observer 20 April 2008
As part of The Rat Pack's Back - an act he co-created and produced internationally – Falzon has appeared at a variety of venues including private events around the world and a sold-out performances at Perth Zoo,[81] Crown and Jupiters Casinos, Twilight at Taronga, as part of Australia’s Fire and Flood Benefit for the British Red Cross,[82] at London's Palace Theatre (in the wake of the 2009 natural disasters affecting the east coast of Australia), and alongside Jonathan Pryce, Judi Dench and Alfred Molina for Swing on a Star in London.
Falzon performed works by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach based around the album Painted From Memory[83] in concert with fellow musical theatre star Bobby Fox at City Recital Hall in Sydney on 24 September 2014 and toured the east coast of Australia in 2015.[84] Falzon approached Fox in 2014 with a view to recreate the iconic 1998 album because, in his words "it's very much written from the heart and experience and it resonates so deeply with people. Because of the lyrics and because you can hear that hurt, you get all the emotions. And with Bacharach and Costello it's not just the lyrics; there are the clever arrangements that take you there anyway." (Michael Falzon to Bernard Zuel in the Sydney Morning Herald 20 September 2014)[85] Painted From Memory was produced by City Recital Hall and directed by Jonathan Biggins with Musical Director Isaac Haywood.
Falzon, with Luke Kennedy, Ben Mingay, Matt Lee formed Swing on This, for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. They were later joined by Rob Mills.
