TODD Woodbridge lapped up the spotlight as a player and now he is nervously awaiting son Beau's big stage debut.

But the nine year-old is not following in his illustrious tennis footsteps.

He will be rehearsing tomorrow after landing a role in the hit production Love Never Dies which is playing in Sydney.

"He auditioned in Sydney and got a late call in for rehearsals," Woodbridge said. "It's great to have some other interest in the house. He said, 'Mum, I don't want to play tennis, I want to do my own thing'.

"It's going to be so nerve-racking for me when he gets out there!"

Woodbridge Jr attends performing arts school in Brunswick. He is one of five rotating in the prominent role of Gustave.

Woodbridge, who is doing commentary for Channel 7, said his son had a great voice and would be ready when presented with his first major opportunity.

"I took him to the opening night of Billy Elliot when he was five and I'm sure that resonated with him," Woodbridge said.

"I think he's got a bright future."

Beau has been told he could be making his debut on Sunday.
