Madame Tassauds to open in Sydney’s Darling Harbour

nicolekidman2Madame Tussauds is set to open in Darling Harbour this coming May and there’s a new Australian celebrity figure in the line‐up of high profile stars.
The first attraction of its kind to launch in Australia, Madame Tussauds Sydney will be making its grand entrance on the Aquarium Wharf.
The newest Australian celebrity figure to appear will be Home and Away star Ray Meagher, who is popularly known for his role as Alf Stewart in the Aussie series since 1988.

Fans will be able to get up close and personal with their favourite Aussie stars, including Nicole Kidman and
Hugh Jackman who will be featured alongside other international A‐listers like Johnny Depp and Lady
Gaga; as well as politicians, literary and sports stars and others.
Most figures iare produced following sittings with the celebrities themselves and talks are already advanced with a number of Australian
icons. Research into producing wax figures includes hundreds of separate measurements, hours
matching skin tone, eye and hair colour – with every individual hair inserted separately. Celebrities and
two film studio wardrobe departments often supply clothing for their figures to Madame Tussauds, or
designers will reproduce significant or iconic outfits as exact replicas.
Costing $A14 million and featuring 1,800sqm of space, the new Madame Tussauds Sydney in Darling
Harbour, is the latest addition to Merlin’s four newly acquired attractions – Sydney Aquarium and
Oceanworld Manly, and the soon to be relaunched WILD LIFE Sydney and Sydney Tower Eye.
