Busy rehearsing for our end of year show, The Wedding Singer, to be performed 12-14th August at the Susie Sainsbury Theatre at the Royal Academy of Music, London.
I was so delighted to have been selected to play the lead female, Julia in The Wedding Singer, a romantic comedy based on the 1998 film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It became a musical and ran on Broadway from 2006. It’s based in New Jersey, so I’ve had to focus on that accent and whilst I play Julia for two of the shows I also play Julia’s Mum Angie, a fighting bride and a Cher tribute act in the other four shows, so there’s been a load to learn.
Once again, disappointed that due to Covid, our audience for the show in this beautiful theatre will be really restricted, but there will be important people watching that could influence my future career in this world of performance, so I am giving it my all and really enjoying the whole process in rehearsals and the challenge.
