Highlights
-
I trained for 2 years at one of the best undergraduate dance schools in London (Lewisham college) in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Tap and have been a dancer in a number of musicals since: Copacobana (Copa girl), West Side Story (Shark), We Will Rock You (Gaga girl) & Fame (dance student)
-
Most of my acting experience comes from musicals and I have played a number of lead & cameo roles:
* Frenchy - Grease
* Polly - the Boyfriend
* Geraldine - Free as air
* Josephine - Pirates of Penzance
* Poopsie - Pajama game
* Lindy-Lou - Best whorehouse in Texas
All of these have been non-paid productions, however when it comes to comic timing and reading an audience, there's not much difference in the audience of the two.
