    S11 Ep11: Bella Brown
    Aug 25 2025
    To celebrate her final scheduled show as Alternate Eva and remarkable performance as The Mistress in Jamie Lloyd’s acclaimed production of Evita at the London Palladium, its breakout star reflects on a milestone chapter in her career. We dive into performing the iconic Another Suitcase in Another Hall nightly, the significance of her now-signature stage bob (and why she’s letting YOU the audience name it), and her unexpected journey from ensemble member to leading star. We also explore the impact of Jamie Lloyd’s visionary direction for The Mistress, along with the evolving role of social media in shaping the stage experience for 2025 — for both performer and audience alike. She also opens up about battling imposter syndrome when stepping into her first confirmed performance as Eva in place of “titan” Rachel Zegler, and how she found strength in the love of Rachel, her cast mates and the audiences who showed up in their thousands. And when her Don’t Cry for Me Argentina performance soared past 2M views in one viral clip, how what began as a daunting challenge became a career-defining moment. Plus, we dive into social media to read through your comments as the love comes pouring in. From Insta moments to viral TikTok's, the internet has spoken: Bella Brown > everything. Supremacy unlocked. Host: William J Connolly Produced by: William J Connolly/Darren Bell evitathemusical.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    She’s the exquisite stage actor and vocalist on the creative joy of originating Andy in the Elton John-penned stage adaption of The Devil Wears Prada, her continuing obsession with Anne Hathaway and why iconic lines, serving camp and understanding the power of laughter helped carve out her take on Andy. We also explore the thrilling creative journey of developing a script and navigating changes during previews, her £3,000 fashion looks in the show and the unexpected challenges of the fashion world and how commentary from audiences about her appearance and size has been a fight she didn’t quite expect. Plus we dive into the genius of Jerry Mitchell, having Sir Elton John as a colleague and collaborator, and why she is not afraid to slay!

    The 2x Olivier nominee on her history-making performance as Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway - a role she reprises direct from the West End opposite Billy Porter - the joyful challenge of mastering the British accent and why she is fully standing in her power. We also talk about overcoming both the doubt and the haters to keep standing tall, originating in Waitress alongside Sara Bareilles and the late Gavin Creel – and why she hopes her roles in Oklahoma! and Guys & Dolls has helped usher in a more inclusive space for everybody to be seen and heard. Plus, how almost ten years in London all started with what should have been a brief few weeks standing in as Effie White in Dreamgirls and why her new album Marisha Wallace: Live In London is a celebration of the journey so far - and why you should never give up!
