S10 Ep42: Madeline Charlemagne, star of Hadestown, Secret Life Of Bees, Carousel & The Harder They Come

Madeline Charlemagne is In The Frame!

Madeline recently had a big career chapter with Hadestown (Lyric Theatre). She was part of the original West End cast as a Fate and understudy for Eurydice. A few months into the run Madeline took over the role of Eurydice full-time. At the end of her contract, she returned to playing a Fate alongside the original cast for the special filmed performances for the Hadestown live capture.

After training at Central School of Speech and Drama, Madeline's early theatre credits include Carousel (Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), Hex (National Theatre), Kick (Lyric Hammersmith), 42 Balloons (Vaudeville Theatre) and The Secret Life of Beas (Almeida Theatre). Next up Madeline is playing Elsa in The Harder They Come (Theatre Royal Stratford East).

In this episode Madeline discusses her Hadestown journey, from why she wanted to do a big West End contract, the challenge of taking over as Eurydice and what it was like to film the show. She also talks about her path into theatre, her time training and what she learnt from her first jobs.
