Yet Another Nancy (YAN) gets a West End Role July 10, 2008
Posted by admin in : I'd do anything, wewillrockyou , trackbackTV elimination shows with audience voting are played as if “The winner takes it all” (quote from Mamma Mia! ) but in reality, the losers can also be winners.
Rachel Tucker is the latest contestant from I’d Do Anything to be offered a dream of a role in London theatre. She’s landed the part of “Meat” in the fantastically successful We Will Rock You starting on September 22nd.
Rachel Tucker was the Northern Irish girl who came fourth in the BBC series with Andrew Lloyd Weber and Cameron Macintosh looking for a winner to play Nancy in Oliver when it starts in December. That prize was won by Jodie Prenger, but Oliver will be a revival of an old favourite musical whereas We Will Rock You has been running for six years at the Dominion Theatre, and ten years altogether in London. Rachel has never performed in the West End before, but she’s not inexperienced in the world of theatre by any means, having appeared in UK tours of The Full Monty, Tommy and Tonight’s The Night, on top of many shows in Belfast.
