A tall order for Sheffield theatre group's 42nd Street musical co-stars

Dylan Lambert and Louise Webster are polishing up their tapping for Ellesmere Musical Theatre Company’s all-dancing, all-singing show.

Playing the starstruck Peggy Sawyer, plucked from the chorus to play opposite Billy Lawlor, Louise and Dylan were first on stage together for Peter Pan at the Lyceum back in 2010. And how cute they were!

Dylan has grown quite a bit since then, but it appears Louise hasn’t.

Louise did her dance training at Constance Grant Dance Centre before going to University in Durham.

She spent as much time performing in musicals as in the library studying, but she’s now back in Sheffield, training to be a science teacher. “This is a dream role and the perfect way to return to Sheffield,” says Louise.

Dylan trained with Amanda Holland School of Dance and has also hardly stopped performing in the intervening 10 years, most recently playing Don Lockwood in Singin’ in the Rain.

The property manager said: “I can’t wait to transport the audience back to the glamour of 1930s Broadway.”

42nd Street is at The Montgomery, Sheffield from March 11-14 at 7.15pm, with a 2.15pm matinee on 14th. Full details from the ticket secretary on 0114 236 4487 or at www.ellesmeremtc.co.uk
