First of all, congratulations! Where were you when you first heard the news?
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.
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!
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.
I would love to do another musical so I'll be doing auditions until I get the next big role.
