It was both unbelievably nerve
racking and exciting in equal measure! However, the fact that I was able to
manage my nerves and was still able to do the show, proved to me how far I have
come since I was a student at ArtsEd. Having Lin in the audience was something
I never thought would happen to me- I admire him so much- it was literally a
dream come true.
When the show opened you
started in a much smaller track, and now have moved on to performing the role
full time. How was it watching the show progress and also your part?
Amazing! I would not have had it
any other way- the fact that I was able to play both Yolanda and Nina meant I
got to see the piece from 2 different viewpoints. It also gave me the
opportunity to perform some of Yolanda's brilliant dance tracks but still sing
and act in Nina's iconic scenes. Also I learnt so much from being an understudy
and had the privilege of learning a lot from the actresses that played Nina
before me.
