In The Spotlight - James Daw

How long have you been performing in shows
Started am dram in the little church hall of good shepherd near tesco's around 1999 (aged 11) carried on with them until joining greasepaint in 2008 for wizard of oz and I haven't looked back since!

What got you interested in music / theatre
Friends! Adam green and his mum were members at the good shepherd and that was all I needed to convince me to join!

What was your first show
Can't remember with good shepherd, wizard of oz with greasepaint 2008

What has been your favourite show and/or character and why
Ragtime - I was lucky to get a part and so glad that I did, the music was amazing and was great singing with such a large orchestra!

What has been your most embarassing or funniest moment in a show
The calamity that was South Pacific, starting off with my broken knee cap, mobile phone in my pocket, almost swearing on stage and getting confused about Germans being in the South Pacific, I was indeed presented with a special award!!

Describe the best and worst costumes you have had to wear
Jitterbugs wasn't the greatest lol a Lycra onesie who can say no to that?!? I'm thinking the makings of the costume for seussical may top as the best.... Fingers crossed

What has been your proudest moment
All of it, being on stage with some truly talented people!

If you could choose any show to perform in, what would it be and why
There's always going to be new favourites.... I think avenue q would be very near the top and I'm soo excited for it coming to greasepaint!

Do you have any plans to pursue theatre as a career
Life's a stage, no further plans
