All dressed up

CW: Dress rehearsal! So excited to bring this show to life! Being a cowgirl once again feels amazing. Polly Baker is in the house!

Well wishers galore

CW: We celebrate our first preview at Plymouth Theatre Royal after a week of teching and tweaking! I got lots of lovely treats.

Don't mess with the director

CW: NOTES!! Our lovely Director Paul Hart giving us notes and things to think about and develop for preview number two. #StageySpotlight

Much-needed sustenance

CW: Our first two show day. Playing Polly Baker requires serious sustenance! It's an EPIC marathon of a show. #allthecoffee

Chill day

Day 5: DAY OFF! A day for three things. 1) SLEEP 2) A roast dinner and 3) A chance to finally see your loved ones. Here's my lovely boyfriend Marc and I post roast.

Wait…. another chill day?

CW: Second day off 🙂 after working so hard the week before, our lovely creatives decided not to have us in for rehearsals. So we all spent the day in the sun. We even did a pub quiz! My team came second… this never happens. #TourLife

Kick off…

CW: Press night!!! Loved every second! so happy to have opened this wonderful show. Here's me and some our awesome creatives raising a glass.

Crazy For You runs in Plymouth until 26 August and then tours around the UK.
