I had an amazing music teacher and my school did productions with local girls school. What age did you start performing? 13 Have you had any embarrassing moments on stage?

Personal Trainer Or Vet If you could be in any show, what one would it be and who as? This one, I love it! What was the last show you went to see? Did you enjoy it? We Will Rock You Loved it! My friend MIG was the lead. You have been in "Phantom of the Opera", "South Pacific", "Follies", "My Fair Lady", "Miss Saigon", "Jesus Christ Superstar", "West Side Story", "The Full Monty", and now are back in "Whistle Down The Wind", which do you prefer? I loved them all. They represent different stages in my career. Full Monty & Whistle are probably my favourite roles so far. Would you ever go back to any of the musicals you have been in before? Phantom - one guess as to which role I'd like to play. Are you enjoying playing "The Man" in "Whistle Down The Wind"? Yes - it's a great role. So lonely & desperate yet with a nice vulnerability to him. Do you get on well with the rest of the "Whistle Down The Wind" cast? They're a terrific group. Most of them I know so it's great to see them again. What is your favourite song from the show? Selfishly, my Soliloquy. Six minutes of gut-wrenching passion, which helps explain his torment. What is your favourite film? The Godfather! What was the first record you ever bought? AC/DC - Back in Black What was the last CD that you bought? Pussy Cat Dolls What is your favourite sport? Athletics What is your worst fear? Don't really have one, but it must be horrible to die feeling alone sick and in pain You have five minutes to live, how do you spend that time? I'd call my family & dear friends, thank them and tell them that I loved them..(then I'd take off my clothes & run around naked for a laugh) What are your ambitions in life? To continue doing quality work, to touch people's lives, move them and make them think. To make a difference. Do you have any hidden talents? If I drink to much I start arm-wrestling strangers & usually win. Sad isn't it! If you could be someone else for the day, who would you be and why? I think it would be interesting to be a woman for a day. If a film was made about your life, what person, alive or dead, would play you and why? Paul Newman always reminds me of my Dad. I always wanted to grow up a bit like him. Qualities I'd like to pocess. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? Living outside London with a little space around me. A couple of kids. Then a London Pad for jobs & nights out in town.
