About me
I started life as a trained dancer and graduated to roles in Musicals including Chastity in Anything Goes for Cameron Mackintosh in the West End.I subsequently retired from the stage to bring up my family but returned in 2002 after completing a Post-graduate Diploma at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in Acting, Musical Theatre.
I also have my own cabaret shows and have taken them to various London venues including the Union theatre.
Additional skills:
Cabaret

Additional information:
Since returning to the stage my favourite role in a musical has been Carlotta in Sondheim's Follies but more recently I really enjoyed playing Mrs Cullen in the farce Kindly Leave the Stage on a small tour including Ireland. I am equally interested in straight plays and musicals and I am involved in rehearsed readings of old forgotten plays and new writing with North London Actors a professional playreading group and Actors Writers London.
