What do you like about the genre „Musical” and what’s been the reason for you to choose the job of a musical actress?
I always loved to dance but the singing came later. The Performing arts college I went to inspired me to try as a musical actress.

Except the positive aspects about the genre, are there any negative aspects as well, that you don’t like too much?
I hate auditions!

What do you like about „Starlight Express“ and what would you like to change?
I love the interaction with the audience.
I would change „Hilf mir“ because I think it is really boring!

When I fell into the audience!
