- The first musical you saw or that most impressed you? TABOO most impressed me but LES MISERABLES was my first.

- Who would you like to duet with? She’s isn’t in musical theatre but Lucie Silvas is a singer and songwriter who I admire extremely.

- Webber or Sondheim? Sondheim.

- London or New York? I love London but New York is my spiritual home!

- Do you keep the programmes of the musicals you have seen? I do, otherwise I forget what I’ve seen as my memory’s terrible.

- The worst moment you’ve had live on the stage (as a performer and / or as a spectator) As a performer, when I accidentally knocked the scenery and it all toppled over like a domino set!
As a spectator, when I saw JEKYLL AND HYDE on Broadway starring a heavy metal singer in the title role. Say’s it all.

- An unforgettable moment: (as a performer and / or as a spectator) As a performer, as we watched our standing ovation at the Donmar for our third Notes show. As a spectator, watching our all our hard work pay off during A Spoonful of Stiles and Drewe at Her Majesty’s this past summer.

- Do you have any superstitions on opening night? I never fully bow during a dress rehearsal.

- What is your favorite musical movie? ENCHANTED.

- The last CD / DVD related to Musicals that you have bought is: The XANADU Broadway cast recording after I saw it in New York.

- What is your favorite line from a musical? “Have I mentioned today, how lucky I am to be in love with you?” from THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

- Agree or disagree with TV Shows finding new musical stars: I’m absolutely behind any project that promotes musical theatre to the ticket buying public.

- You feel proud of: Still being able to say that I truly enjoy my job.

- At this moment you’re living as an actor, the most important thing to you is: My real life outside of work. Keeping a grip on what really matters in life and always staying positive.
