How do you feel about spending some time up in Scotland?
I love Scotland! Last time I was up there was Cats about 5 years ago so I’m really looking forward to being back.
Do you have other Sondheim roles you like to tackle in the future?
To be honest Bobby is the one I’ve always wanted to play but I didn’t think I’d get a go at it this early in my career.
You’ve done all the big shows; Wicked, Mamma Mia, Phantom, Les Miserables, Cats (to name only a few…) but which job has been the most special to you so far?
Wicked will always hold a very special part of my heart but I have honestly loved every single one for many different reasons!
