About me
Lydia WatsonI trained at Arts Educational on the Acting course in London and have played lead in numerous theatre ,musical comedy shows, film, panto etc over the years.
I played female romantic lead in the West End revival of ‘A Funny thing Happened on the way to the Forum’ with Frankie Howerd, Patrick Cargill, and Ronnie Stevens at the start of my career.
I was in the final casting of the original creation of the part of Cosette in Les Miserables though eventually was vocally too mature for the evolving role.
I have toured Nationally in various theatre productions and have appeared as Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Snow White, Princess to Wayne Sleep. Edith in ‘Pirates of Penzance’ Elise in Mollieres ‘The Miser’ with Ron Moody.
Film credits include ‘Gods Outlaw’ with Keith Baron. ‘The Number One Gun’ James Bond spoof . ‘Stop and Think ‘ for BBC.
As a classical actress it has been a great joy to work in Musical comedy and to sing so much . I have my Mum to thank for the Welsh in me that has made this possible!
I had a break to have my family and care for my youngest who suffered Cancer for nearly a decade. This has given me some precious life experience.
I sing regularly and have singing engagements coming up.
