    Ep.15 Holly James: it's all about the journey...and what a beautiful journey it is

    On this episode I have the pleasure of catching up with stage sensation and old old friend Holly James.
    A love letter from Broadway to London
    Holly truly is lightening on stage, you literally cannot take your eyes off her and if you've been lucky enough to see her in a performance you'll know I'm telling the truth! 
    We talk about her journey from where we both started out, at our school in Covent Garden in the 90's, to Reno...West End and now on to Broadway.
    It really is all about the journey and what a colourful one it is
    Holly is in a one woman show at Midnight Theatre in Hudson Yards in 2023!
