I’ve had an obsession with musical theatre from the time I was young. I was the sort of kid that bought all the show tune albums and re-enacted my favourite scenes on the imaginary stage that is my bedroom.
The first musical that really hit me was ‘Evita’. I may receive some criticism for this but when I first saw the movie version with Madonna
in the title role, I fell in love. I immediately got my parents to buy me her autobiography and from here never looked back.
When I went to university I decided to take my love of the stage and make it a career. I studied joint honours in English Literature and Theatre. This allowed me to take my passion and learn how to carry it into the real world. It was some of the best three years of my life.
I now work as a theatre manager and it’s a dream come true. Not only do I get to view all my favourite productions, but I get to work with the talented cast who make them come to life every day. I also get to see how my favourite shows have been built from the ground up and help bring their riveting narratives to a whole new generation.
