“WHEN I’M NERVOUS, I THINK ABOUT MYSELF AS AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AND HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE THE SHOW”

CHRISTINE DAAÉ IN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
FIRST SHOW YOU EVER DID? It was actually Christine [Daaé] in Phantom, so this is a full circle moment for me.
BEST TACTIC FOR STAGE FRIGHT? I think about myself as an audience member and how excited I am to see the show.
OF ALL THE SHOWS CURRENTLY TOURING, WHICH DO YOU LOVE MOST? Mary Poppins. It was practically perfect in every way.
Oh my God. When do I not? The in a scene where fireballs are directed towards Christine. It’s safe fire but in this particular instance it somehow got underneath my dress. The dresses Christine wears are huge, with layers upon layers of petticoats. As I walked back to my dressing room, everyone was asking what smelled, and when my undresser began to take the dress off me we realised the underskirt was on fire!
