Once at Les Mis I asked wardrobe to take my skirt up (kept tripping) she told me that we couldn't just "take the hem up with a machine" because France in 1830s, women wouldn't show a hem. So she hand stitched and invisible hem during interval (about 12 mins). Low skilled my arse.
A guy cycled past and called me a slag as I walked home so I kicked his back wheel and he fell off his bike. Multiple people laughed. Im still smiling. Two can play at that game baby. xx
Soo did I mention Im going to be making my West End debut next month in Les Miserables as u/s Eponine for 4 weeks? No?
Well ITS BLOODY HAPPENING.
I am thrilled to be able to be part of the original production before it closes forever.
I cant bloody WAIT
To the barricade!! 🇫🇷
When I was little I used to put a towel on my head and pretend I was Fantine.
This was way better than that.
Very special day. Everyone at
@lesmisofficial
made it even more so. Thanks for the love. Greeeeetin x
Thrown on at interval tonight for Eponine
@lesmisofficial
LIVE THEATRE folks she is wonderful. This company completely rallied behind me. So much genuine support and love from everyone. But don’t make me do it again
WELL Last night with no tech and having not even finished cover rehearsals yet, I went on at interval for Eponine. It was a terrifying joy! nothing like live theatre eh?? Every single department and person pulled together. What. A. TEAM.
Wouldn’t have changed a thing!
If anyone wants a real laugh, here is
@DannyColliganUK
running FULL PELT Into the wrong scene, ruining a tender moment, with 100% conviction. The definition of strong and wrong. Hahahahaha 😂😂😂 DEAD.
Happy 1 year anniversary to the barricade being set on fire and audience members absolutely loving it thinking it was a dramatic choice and not an almost disaster
@Shelle02
Absolutely agree!! It takes an entire team of over sometimes over 100 people to put on a big successful show and the cast are only a tiny percentage! Magic couldn’t happen onstage without the people pulling the strings behind us. Simples!
Ok so I went on the Les Mis website to get a screen grab to excuse me from jury service (boring) and had to stop. I remember for YEARS, scrolling through the cast lists, wishing so hard it was me. Then I had a little “holy shit, I’m in Les Mis!!” moment and it’s fkn great
Continuing the dream!!! 2 productions of Les Mis in one year? How many people can say that?! Don’t mind if I do! Thrilled to be joining this brilliant cast as u/s Eponine for a whole year! Thank you universe 🙏🏻 🇫🇷
IM SICK OF BEING WHISTLED AT AND HOOTED AT ON THE STREET. STOP IT. Your daughters,wives,sisters,friends are ALL affected by this and ALL hate it. You are NOT entitied to an opinion about how I look. You think I look nice? I DONT CARE. WE DONT CARE. WE DONT WANT TO HEAR 👏🏻IT👏🏻
People will always turn to music, art,theatre and entertainment in times of trouble. Now our entire industry is in trouble and where’s our help? We aren’t playing dress up for a laugh,these are our lives and we have very real bills to pay. Come ON
It takes an entire village to run a show. The cast tend to get all the glory however the west end would fall if it weren’t for the team standing backstage. And I mean TEAM💪🏻
I fell in love with this show when I was 12 years old. Now to be able to be on stage tonight to say goodbye to it is an incredible dream come true. Thank you
@lesmisofficial
for letting me be part of your incredible history.
Here’s to them, and here’s to you!
Here we go! Our first full tech run before opening on Monday. I am honoured to be part of this company. To the barricades with the best team possible 🇫🇷💙
5 years ago tonight I finished my amdram production of
@lesmisofficial
10 weeks ago tonight I finished in the original west end production
2 weeks time I will be part of the newest production.
This show won’t leave me alone and I am THRILLED by it!!!! Dreaming xx
Last night I finally got chance to watch my client
@JennaInnes
in
@HeathersMusical
where she is starring as Veronica Sawyer. I was quite simply blown away by her performance. A true star with the most phenomenal vocals. She has to be seen/heard to be believed 🌟
#ProudAgent
I’ve been asked to be Les Mis fight captain (said yes DUH) and I spent the day beating up my friends.
It was excellent. What an honour! (Beating up my friends,not the fight captain thing)
😏
Interval of our cover run
@lesmisofficial
and truly, any audience would be honored to see any one of these covers on. There’s so much talent in the building!!!🇫🇷
4 years ago tomorrow I finished my horrible horrific dull dull dull office job to move to London to start drama school. LOOK WHAT SHE TWEETED! If only you knew, 2015 Jenna, you’d pee yourself.
Also if you missed this yesterday, another example of the brilliance on show in theatre around the world right now! My gal
@JennaInnes
playing a role she has never even covered in the west end. UNBELIEVABELE! Go you Jenna!
@lesmisofficial
Every morning on my way to rehearsals, I drive past the (god awful) office building where I used to work and dream about being an actor.
I can’t tell you how brilliant it feels to give it the finger as I spend my day doing what I always said I would do🖕🏻
The man himself Claude Michel Schönberg came to rehearsal yesterday. He spoke about his love and the importance of the show and how oppressed people are singing it in protests around the world today. What we are part of is something incredibly special. 🇫🇷
On route to our first company meal after a brilliant first week of rehearsals with this team
@lesmisofficial
💫
GORGEOUS people. I think we’re going to have a little bit of fun on tour xx
First full run of act 1 today
@lesmisofficial
and my goodness do we make a pretty sound. Having the best time in Liverpool with this incredible cast and crew. And it’s only bloody week 3!!! Bring on the barricades 🇫🇷
AHHHH well that’s one way to end a crazy 9 show week. Who needs a tech rehearsal anyway?
Couldn’t have done it without this incredibly supportive company. They are all superstars ❤️
I was walking in London for a grand total of 40 minutes today and I got:
-5 kissy sounds (ew)
-3 “hi’s” followed by
-2 “FUCK YOU” ‘s for not saying hi back. Its not all men but today it was 8 of you. 8!!! and NONE of their mates told them off. I’m just fucking sick of itttttt.
A school career advisor said to me “a career in theatre is a little far fetched and probably won’t happen. What’s plan B?” Fast forward to 1)nominated actress 2)constant work since(before) graduating 3) and I’ve never lived a happier life!!
There is no plan B

I really wish I had an obsession with the gym. Instead my obsession is tea, comfy socks and scrolling Instagram seeing other people at the gym. Maybe 2019
Tonight was extremely special. Made even more amazing by being surrounded by these gorgeous people! I joined the company just over a week ago, but already have been made to feel at home with these crazies! The job of…
I love this photo of my parents. They came to London before I could announce my first West End gig. Just look at my mums face!! It was one of the first shows they saw in London together in 1989 and 30 years later they came to see their daughter play Eps.- how magic is that?
Dear neighbour who’s playing High School Musical 2 full pelt, singing along, dancing with a glass of wine in his boxers; Please continue. You’re brilliant.
“Jenna’s a star in the making, with her feisty take on the princess ensuring she was no shrinking damsel in distress.
And she has a fantastic voice that is going to take her far.
One to watch, and not just in the Panto”
😊😊
Last night my childhood singing teacher came in to see the Panto!! Half the fun of being home is being able to give a little bit back to the people who helped me get here in the first place. Thank you Rhonda xx
I think I’m going to need a lie down.
@sixthemusical
was ANAZINGG!!! The energy is contagious and I think is half he reason I need a nap. WHAT a time for new theatre! So proud to be screaming the praises of these fierce ladies👑💜
A little girl called Bethany waited for Snow White at stage door last night. She told me this was her first panto ever and that she can’t wait to come back “Again again again and again!!” I may not get home for Christmas, but moments like that seriously make it worth it💫
After 9 hours on 3 trains I’m finally at my parents house. My brother was here and my sister is on her way tomorrow. Haven’t lived at home with them for 5 years...this whole isolation thing got a lot more fun.
3 years ago today I moved to London. I got off the tube and saw someone on a bike get hit by a car, get up, throw his water bottle and started chasing the car screaming/swearing. Instantly I knew I would love it here🇬🇧
No. It's 2 hours. If you can't escape from your phone for 2 hours, then don't come to the theatre. It's rude and off putting. People must forget that it isn't a movie screen and that there are actual people up there trying to do their job and (ironically) provide escapism🙅♀️
I HATE tweets like this. What’s worse is that I hate seeing women I know liking and agreeing with this!! Yeah she’s beautiful but SO ARE YOU?! Stop wishing your own face/body away ladies! They’re yours and they’re wonderful because of that.
Honoured to be asked to perform as part of the celebration opening Aberdeen’s Music Hall last night with the ever lovely
@leemeadofficial
and our gorgeous MD

Today is our last show! I have no idea where the last 6 months have gone. I’ve had the loveliest time and will definitely miss these 4 wonderful people!!
Here’s to the last one! ☂
It’s opening night! Can’t wait to share with everyone all the amazing work everyone has put into making this show happen. TO THE PALACE!
