S11 Ep9: Marisha Wallace

The 2x Olivier nominee on her history-making performance as Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway - a role she reprises direct from the West End opposite Billy Porter - the joyful challenge of mastering the British accent and why she is fully standing in her power. We also talk about overcoming both the doubt and the haters to keep standing tall, originating in Waitress alongside Sara Bareilles and the late Gavin Creel – and why she hopes her roles in Oklahoma! and Guys & Dolls has helped usher in a more inclusive space for everybody to be seen and heard. Plus, how almost ten years in London all started with what should have been a brief few weeks standing in as Effie White in Dreamgirls and why her new album Marisha Wallace: Live In London is a celebration of the journey so far - and why you should never give up!
