Cinderella Cast Interview: Fairy Godmother

Written by Jade Hauber, 12/01/2024

Question One: What’s your favourite part of playing the fairy godmother in this year’s show?

My favourite part of playing the fairy godmother is the rapping. It's so much fun and I really like doing the songs. I also like the lighthearted personality she has and how she can go from light to intense really quickly and all of those quirks.

Question Two: What was your favourite scene to stage and perform in Cinderella?

My fav scene is 1.9c, aka “Shoop.”I love going through the rap, the dances with the backup singers/dancers or “shoop girls” and the quick change.

Question Three: If you could play any other character, who would it be and why?

I think I would be one of the stepsisters. They're so funny, I love their stage presence.

Question Four: How did you get into character before performing?

I’m similar to the character so I just do warmups sometimes. I have to make sure I talk slow because I talk fast in the raps and when I rhyme I have to drag it out more.

Question Five: What are some of your theories for next year’s show?

I think it might be a musical. I really hope it’s “Legally Blonde” or “Mean Girls the Musical” or something, that would be really cool. Honestly, I have no idea. I think it’ll be something big and popular, more well-known. Maybe “Wicked?”
