I am ecstatic to be returning to this incredible show, stepping into this iconic role I had the privilege to play in London…Angélique is bold, sassy and fiercely independent and it’s an honour to be carrying the baton forward from Australia’s own Casey Donovan. I cannot wait to return to this brilliant score and join storytelling forces with this beautiful Australian company, leaving it all on that stage for you, Sydney!
