Ahead of our Winter Spectacular, we caught up with Natalie McQueen who plays Jill for a quick chat about the show and the season. 

1. How do you get yourself ready to step on stage? Do you have any pre-show rituals?

I love to play music and wind down. Obviously, a warmup and always loads of coffee!

2. What do you think is a hidden gem in the show?

Well, the cast are wonderful. The choreo is so fun and Julian is so incredible to watch. I also love working alongside Louis. He’s a dream!

3. What's your favourite Christmas song?

Wham – Last Christmas.

4. How would you spend a spectacular snow day?

Snuggled up inside, cooking and drinking wine with my boyfriend, listening to music.
