NEWS!!!
Currently, Kate is performing in Rent as the irritating, shoulder-padded Alexi Darling, which runs until May 17th at The Broadway Theatre, Catford, directed by Thom Southerland. She is also Assistant Musical Director and an actor-musician in the production, playing piano, violin, percussion and guitar (acoustic & electric). The show is the UK's first professional revival.
Rehearsals for the UK Premiere of The Unsinkable Molly Brown have just started! Kate will play Mrs Broderick, the tight-lipped journalist, in her second production with Thom Southerland as director. The show opens in May at The Landor Theatre. She will pull out the olde actor-musician skills yet again for this wonderful show, on violin, guitar, piano and ukelele!
Kate has just finished performing the new musical The Ripper, at The New Players Theatre. Kate played a lead, Catherine Eddows, with the other leads played by West End performers.
In August, Kate will travel up to The Edinburgh Fringe Festivalto play Downy in Honk!, the 4000th anniversary performance of the show. Some scenes and songs in the show are being re-written by the writers Stiles and Drewe themselves, so it's great to have the writers on board! Honk! will be shown at George One, the highest-profile musical theatre venue in Edinburgh.
