Louise is titled the "west end girl" in the recent touring production of Evita but I have never seen her in anything performance related before. I had never heard of her til she started touring in Kenwright's production. I am aware she did Guys and Dolls at the Piccaddily Theatre, but that's all I know of. She seems to have done more tours. However, why, I do not know! She blew my mind as Eva Peron. Stunning voice, stunning person and beautifully acted! What a star! Would love to see her in Wicked as Elphaba! Or maybe even Elle Woods when Legally Blonde opens! Although there is talk that Jennifer Ellison is taking on Elle's character? She was supposedly cast as Belle in Only The Brave (Niamh Perry's role) but could not take on the role due to her new commitments with Evita. I would pay big money to see her as Belle. She would have been so much better and convincing.

Louise Dearman. Fab.

I totally agree. I saw her in Guys and Dolls and in Make me a song and each time she blew me away. She did the most stunning rendition of Anytime in Make me a song. I do hope she soon gets the recognition she deserves.

OMG, Louise would have been amazing as Belle. She has a great voice and is a great actress as well!
Don't get me wrong, Niamh has a lovely voice and is still very young, so I am sure will improve on her acting, but in Only The Brave her acting and even worse that of the other TV contestant Keith Jack, stood out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the cast.

Re Louise Dearman - saw her the other night in Evita at Leeds Grand and despite 2 fire alarms at the start and interval in the show delaying it by 1 hour, the cast were seemingly unaffected and Louise in particular was stunning. Her voice (a la Streisand at times) was perfection and her acting superb...a brilliant leading lady destined for great things

Why has she not been bigger before now though? I thought she was brilliant, yet so unknown x

I work at the Grand Theatre Leeds and saw Louise in Guys and Dolls last year she was by far the best in that production but wow I have loved the musical Evita since first seeing it when I was about 12 at the grand in leeds! Louise is the most incredable musical theatre performer on a level with greats like Kerry Ellis and Summer/Scarlett Strallen. I read she would love to play Glinda in Wicked, wow! but I think she could so be Elpheba. Her amazing voice imagine Defying Gravity?
She rocks I think the next role Louise takes on will be a west end one and a great one at that.
If you get a chance go see Evita the best production we have had on tour at the grand by far.

I saw her in Guys and Dolls and got a huge wave from her at the end and she also blew me a kiss. I will try and get to see Eviya will she be in the tour when it comes to Southampton? tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

Not sure when it's in Southampton, but I believe she's been signed off for a couple of weeks because of throat problems...
whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should
