Round 2…🛳️✨🎤

Currently in the beautiful Livorno Italy rehearsing for MSC Poesia Cast 2! New cast, new shows (one old friend of a show can you guess which…🍉?)
Grateful to be asked back again by the team @mscentertains you have truly changed my life x2🤍
And collaborating with the fantastic team @showupproduction thank you for welcoming me so warmly.

As always a huge thank you to the amazing casting team @thecastinginitiative and to @the.other.adele for continuing to take a chance on me and for letting little Iona live out her dream. This is for her.

Throwback to the most enjoyable marathon of a song haha.

My beautiful VI01 cast! Even after a 1 hour and 40 minute show, you still brought the energy to this song every single time. Thank you✨❤️‍🔥

From one of my final Yacht Club sets onboard Virtuosa during the Caribbean season.
Always an honour and privilege to be trusted to perform in such a beautiful venue. 🖤

Yes I forgot to lock my iPad, yes it was annoying me too 🫠

Virtuosa Cast 1🛳️❤️‍🔥

There are no words to completely convey how special each and every person in these photos is to me. A group of artists from all over the world, each unique in their own way who were lucky enough to be put together to create one company, one family. What are the chances?
You never forget your first contract and I certainly won’t when it was spent with a group of people so extraordinary. Whenever we meet again VI01, see you around the world. We did that.🌟

This company wouldn’t have existed in the first place without this fabulous casting team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you:

A love letter to Dirty Dancing:

For the past eleven months aboard MSC Virtuosa, you have been more than a show to me. Night after night, under the lights, with the swell of the ocean just beyond the walls (sometimes too much of a swell and we’d have to do a reblock haha)
I stepped into a character that I made authentically mine. Me and my yellow dress (alongside a formidable cast who get their own separate post) taking on one of the world’s most beloved movies. I became someone braver, freer, and more alive night after night.

Being one of your leading ladies was never just about hitting marks or singing lines. It was about much more than that. It was about trusting the music, the story, the partnership on and off stage, and the magic that somehow never faded.

You taught me about connection—real, electric, unspoken connection. With my cast, with the band, with every audience member who came to feel with us. And they always did. Because you are timeless. Because you remind people what it means to feel deeply, to take risks, to choose love.

Letting you go is not easy. I close this chapter with many tears shed, laughter backstage & onstage shared, many a honey & lemon Jakeman consumed, manyyy a got2b can of hairspray used, many a lipstick reapplied and a hair re-curled. But most of all a full heart. And a quiet understanding that experiences like this don’t come often—and when they do, they change you.
Thank you for every note sung, every step taken, every moment of timeless magic experienced.
It’s not goodbye, but a see you later. Who knows when me and that yellow dress will be reunited…but for now I close this chapter having truly had the time of my life x

Thank you for the trust:
