Best Memory…

When I got the job I went to see the show, as I hadn’t had a chance whilst auditioning. By the end of the Overture I wept tears of joy and excitement at the beauty and sheer theatricality of this production. I am very proud to have been in it, even for the short time I was there before it closed.

Favourite bit of the show…

The porch scene. In act two many years after Billys death, Julie runs out onto the porch and for a second believes she may have just seen Billy. As he sings a ghostly reprise of ‘If I Loved You’, she remembers him. Beautiful, and impossible not to be touched by it.
