Early life

Horsey learnt to perform, teach and choreograph from his mother, Kay Horsey, who had a dance school for 26 years on the Gold Coast.[1]

Horsey began his tap dancing career as a pre-teen in 1984 by finishing in first place in the age 9 to 12 category of the Fred Astaire International Tap and Jazz Championship at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. At age 13 he appeared on the Australia television show Young Talent Time as their "Talent Discovery of the Week".[2] At age 16 he performed in the "Ultimate Event" Frank Sinatra concert at Sanctuary Cove, Australia.[3]

Career

Performer

Horsey has performed onstage since 1989 in productions including 42nd Street (original Australian cast), Funny Girl, West Side Story, Chicago and Singin' in the Rain.[4]

Horsey rose to fame in the early 1990s as an original cast member of Hot Shoe Shuffle, "The first Australian musical with an all-Australian cast to make it to the West End",[5] in which he originated the role of "Tip", touring Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Queens Theatre in London. He continued working with Dein Perry, joining Tap Dogs on their North American tour which included six months at the Off-Broadway Union Square Theatre.[6][7][8]

In 2000, he played the role of Angus in the Fox Searchlight Pictures film Bootmen alongside his friend and collaborator Adam Garcia,[9] as well as Sam Worthington.

In 2007, Horsey portrayed Andy Lee in a limited showing of 42nd Street in Melbourne.[10] In 2009, he played Lank Hawkins in Crazy For You.[4]

In 2014, he plays the role of Benny Southstreet in Guys and Dolls[11] and that same year he played conman Rooster in Annie.[12]

Horsey has appeared in the independently produced Every Single Saturday at Glen Street Theatre[13] and both choreographed and performed in Lifeforce,[14] both written by Joanna Weinberg. In 2014, Horsey joined the cast of The Tap Pack for their Sydney season at the recently established Hayes Theatre in Potts Point and continued a small tour with the show until its debut in the Dunstan Playhouse at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in 2015.[15][16]

Horsey originated the role of Officer Peter Hammett and choreographed the New Musicals Australia production of The Detective's Handbook[4] at the Hayes Theatre, directed by Jonathan Biggins.
