Sing your heart out

And how did you react?

I was stunned and shocked. This is my first musical and my first acting role. I couldn't believe it! It's a real honour to be nominated. I made some huge sacrifices and really pushed myself. This role was a huge challenge and all the hard work is finally paying off.

What's it been like to be part of Blood Brothers?

A dream come true. I've wanted to work with David Kramer for a long time. My fellow cast members are all super talented; they all have become like family to me. The show is a huge hit and I'm super excited to play Mrs Johnstone every night, getting those standing ovations and all the great reviews. It's really nice!

How do you maintain the intensity of your performance night after night?

I try to stay true to the story and the character. Crying is not the easiest thing to do, especially when you're me. I'm always bubbly. I try to remain focused and I listen to my fellow actors.

And what are your plans for after the show has ended?

I would love to do another musical so I'll be doing auditions until I get the next big role.
