‘I told you I wanted to join the circus! So excited to be playing Berthe in Pippin. Now I have the chance to sing upside down,’ she captioned the video.
Kerri-Anne’s post comes after it was announced she will be joining the cast of stage musical Pippin, which opens at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney next month.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford revealed the news on The Morning Show on Thursday, saying that Kerri-Anne has been cast in the role of Grandma Berthe.

‘The role that Kerri-Anne will be playing is really just one scene and one big number,’ Mr Ford said.
‘But it’s a show-stopping number. You basically walk in there, steal the show and go home. It’s a great gig for her.’
In the popular musical, an acrobatic troupe tells the story of Pippin, a young man who longs to find passion and adventure in his life.

Mr Ford said that Kerri-Anne has been attending circus school to prepare for the role.
It comes after the Logie Hall of Fame recipient was made redundant from Studio 10 in August.
Kerri-Anne fought back tears as she addressed her sacking live on air, less than 24 hours after losing her job in a cost-cutting measure.

She appeared to shake with emotion while bidding farewell to viewers.
The TV veteran acknowledged that the coronavirus pandemic had made it necessary to tighten the budget, and thanked her friends and colleagues for their support.
‘I just know I’m back on the “lazy Susan” of television. Yeah, it’s very, very tough for a lot of people,’ she began.

‘But I’ve always worked on a personal level, the Charles Darwin theory that says to survive you don’t need to be the most intelligent, you don’t have to be the strongest, but you have to be, to survive, the most adaptable,’ she added.
Kerri-Anne, who was axed from Channel 10 along with 25 other staff members, went on to say just how much she treasures the friendships she’s made along the way.
‘I’ve had a ball! And the reason why I’ve got this outfit today is because, if you’re being run out of town, get in front of the parade or get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade!’ she said with a salute.
