Horsham return for HAODS with Sister Act

She is going to be playing disco diva Deloris Van Cartier when HAODS bring Sister Act to the Capitol Theatre stage in Horsham (November 9-13).

“It is just so wonderful. It is my dream show in my hometown.

“I just really couldn’t ask for more!.

“A few years ago, when I used to live in London, I auditioned for the role of Deloris in the West End.

“I got down to the last few. I am semi-professional. I was so fortunate to get that far in the audition process.

“I guess it taught me resilience.

“I knew that it would be very, very hard.

“You do get knocked back. It was a massive audition initially and lots of people went out, and I was in the last handful of people to get through. “

And now she is getting the chance to do it for real – a huge opportunity.

“It is just my dream show. I love the story. I love the songs. I love the script.

“I just couldn’t believe it when a colleague of mine told me that they were auditioning for it with HAODs.

“I thought ‘I remember HAODS.’ I had done a charity event and they were there. I decided to go for it, and I hadn’t auditioned for anything for so long.

“But it is just brilliant. It is funny. It captures every emotion. It is quirky and it is hilarious and it has got absolutely everything.”
