Only days before Madame Tussauds opens its doors,
much loved Aussie sweetheart, Delta Goodrem, quite literally saw double as she
was introduced to her wax self at Madame Tussauds Sydney for the very first
time.
Delta, most notably known for her unprecedented
musical achievements which continue with her new single ‘Sitting On Top Of The
World’,
will be hosted in the A-List section of the attraction alongside the likes of
Dannii Minogue, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga.
Upon coming
face-to-face with herself, Delta commented, “Wow. I simply can’t describe how
surreal this experience is. I’m astounded by the likeness; the Madame Tussauds
team have done such a fantastic job. The detail is incredible - everything down
to the colour of my eyes, the shape of my teeth and the positioning of my hair.
It really is an honour to be a part of Madame Tussauds Sydney.”
Delta donated
the flowing blue tone dress that she wore when she performed during her
Visualise Tour, “It brings back happy memories from one of my favourite tours
and I’m so happy to have such a proud moment of my career immortalised in an
Australian hall of fame” Delta continued.
A talented team
of over 60 artists and sculptors spent over 800 hours to create Delta’s wax
figure. Using the exact same measurements of Delta’s eyeball, pupil and iris,
her beautiful ocean blue eyes were created from a sample of over 200 different
variations. What’s more, in order to keep the wax figures up to date, each one
is made using real human hair to enable the artists to wash, cut and restyle
where necessary.
Kristy Enright, Madame Tussauds
spokesperson commented, “Delta is such a talented icon and a tribute to
Australia. We’re delighted that she will be joining our A-List line-up here in
Sydney. The wax figure is so lifelike – you can really see the level of
time and dedication that has been invested by the Madame Tussauds team to
recreate her. One thing is for
sure, Delta’s fans won’t be disappointed when they see Delta for the
first time next week.”
Madame Tussauds Sydney will open its
doors on Monday, 16 April 2012 in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Situated next door to Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney, the attraction will feature an all-star
cast of over 70 figures,
including some of Australia’s home-grown
legends, A-list celebrities, sports heroes, rock legends, world leaders and
many more.
