Saw her as the lead in Book of Mormon on the weekend - TOIGHT !

Paris grew up in a household that is the definition of a cultural melting pot. Her Mauritian father introduced her to rap music – sparking her love for lyrical poetry. Meanwhile, her Russian mother took her to their Russian Orthodox church on Sundays, where she was captivated by the beauty of the choral singing.
When The Book of Mormon put out a call for performers for their 2025 season, Paris leapt at the opportunity. After multiple intense auditions and callbacks Paris received the news she never believed would be possible: she had landed the lead female role of Nabulungi.

Paris is ready to bring everything she has learned to the stage – her unique flair, her strong cultural identity, the knowledge and skills from her education and her deep passion for storytelling. She is lucky enough to have fellow Mauritian, family friend and Melbourne Theatre Company favourite Bert LaBonté as a mentor – offering Paris valuable advice on how to approach the role, as he starred as Mafala Hatimbi in The Book of Mormon’s first Australian run.
