August 2010

I'm about to go on tour in 'Dolly' for New Perspectives Theatre Company.

 

I recently appeared at Nottingham Playhouse in 'Forever Young', playing a 83 year old version of myself and, last Christmas, was the Queen in Sleeping Beauty at the Churchill Theatre Bromley. I recently played Maria in Twelfth Night at Stafford Castle Open Air Festival.

Other recent credits include Judith Bliss in 'Hayfever', Liz in 'September In The Rain', Sheila in 'Relatively Speaking' and Olivia in 'Twelfth Night' at the Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch and Queenie the Cat and Maureen the Moorhen in Honk at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury.

Other recent work includes Muriel in Animal Farm for the Peter Hall Company, and Carol in a National Tour of Girl's Night. She received much acclaim for her role as Lily the Nun in Blonde Bombshells of 1943 (which won the Manchester Evening News award in December for Best Production) at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Bolton Octagon and the Hampstead Theatre and as Luciana in Comedy of Errors, a Northern Broadsides Tour.

I play sax, guitar and piano and have performed in the West End and nationally. Other theatre credits include: Dee Dee Butterfly in Pinafore Swing (Watermill & Tour) Jane the Clown in Sweet William (Northern Broadsides), Toots in Mother Goose (Liverpool Everyman), Miss Santiago in Buddy (Strand Theatre & UK Tour), The Animals (Stratford Circus), Elvis- The Musical (Piccadilly Theatre), Get it While You Can (London One Person Play Festival), Patsy Cline-The Musical (National Tour), Three Steps to Heaven (National Tour), Comedy Brothel (Etcetera Theatre), Peer Gynt (RSC), Red Riding Hood, Sticks and Stones (Salamander TIE Co.), Comedy of Errors (White Horse Theatre Co), Big Buddha Beach (Camden Studio Theatre), Guys and Dolls (Regina Theatre).

A prolific singer songwriter, I have a self-penned album and as a comedy performer became an established name on the stand-up circuit with my alter ego ‚ Milly Sue, The Singing Cowgirl.

Television appearances include Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Doctors and I can be seen regularly as Doctor Paula Lucas on Emmerdale. I was recently seen puffing away in an NHS anti-smoking advert and, rather irritatingly, with the Churchil Insurance Dog. Oh yes.
