S10 Ep27: Aimie Atkinson, original Katherine Howard in Six & Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman

Olivier nominee Aimie Atkinson is In The Frame!

Aimie is preparing for the release of her album Queen which will be launched with a special solo concert in the West End on 23rd June at the Vaudeville Theatre. 

Aimie originated the role of Katherine Howard in Six The Musical in the West End, on tour and on the studio album. After reuniting with the original cast in 2022 for some special performances at Hampton Court Palace and in the West End, this year Aimie's performance as Katherine Howard was seen on the big screen when Six The Musical LIVE hit UK cinemas and broke records.

As well as starring as Vivian Ward in the original West End production of Pretty Woman (Piccadilly Theatre/Savoy Theatre), Aimie's theatre credits include Rem in Death Note in Concert (London Palladium/Lyric Theatre), Lucia in Figaro (London Palladium), Daniela in In the Heights (King’s Cross Theatre), Serena in Legally Blonde (Kilworth House Theatre), Elizabeth in Dirty Dancing (UK tour), Chloe in Never Forget, Penny in Carnaby Street (Hackney Empire & UK Tour), Luisa in Zorro (UK Tour), Shelby Stevens in Steel Pier (Union Theatre), Vusuvia in Eurobeat (Edinburgh) and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (Brighton Theatre Royal).

In this episode, Aimie talks about her upcoming album and concert… and why she’s terrified about it! She also discusses the path of her career including how she previously left the industry, why she almost didn’t go to her Six audition and the reality of why hustling doesn't get any easier… and lots more along the way.

Aimie plays the Vaudeville Theatre on 23rd July. Visit www.nimaxtheatres.com for info and tickets. Aimie's album Queen is released on 20th June.
