Celinde Schoenmaker is currently starring as Christine Daaé in the London production of The Phantom of the Opera. Her previous theatre credits include Les Miserables (Queen's Theatre) and the Dutch production of Love Story.

We caught up with her to find out which six things she couldn't live without in her dressing room.


The Photos

CS: Pictures of my lovely friends and family.

The Steamer

CS: Love this amazing aroma steamer with lovely smelling oils that I got from Tim Laurenti for secret Santa 🙂

The Make-Up

CS: My make-up! Very, very, very important. Otherwise I'll have a naked face onstage and you won't see my eyes.

The Fluffy Slippers

CS: My bathrobe and Emmi Christensson’s fluffy shoes.

The Dresser

CS: My lovely dresser and friend Emma who helps me with everything backstage and the beautiful Emmi Christensson (not in the pic but Emma's sitting at her desk) who is the Christine alternate and together we take care of the role!

The iPad

CS: My iPad to FaceTime my friends and maybe watch some Netflix inbetween shows.
