Sharon Sexton is back in the frame!
Sharon is currently starring as the alternate Janis in A Night With Janis Joplin. Following a run on Broadway and various tours, the show is making its West End premiere at the Peacock Theatre.
Sharon is celebrated for her iconic performance as Sloane in Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf’s musical Bat Out Of Hell. Sharon originated the role during its original runs at the Manchester Opera House, London Coliseum and Dominion Theatres. Sharon later reprised her performance as Sloane in the Toronto production and recent UK/International tour. Later this year she will once again return for the musical's new tour. Since the beginning, Sharon has played Sloane opposite her husband Rob Fowler as Falco.
Sharon’s other theatre credits include playing Donna in the UK & international tour of Mamma Mia! as well as the West End productions of Billy Elliot and The Commitments.
Alongside her theatre work, Sharon is well known for her cabarets and concerts; her shows with Rob have won awards whilst she also has an acclaimed one woman show based on the life of Liza Minnelli. Most recently Sharon starred in and produced the concert tour of Defying Gravity: West End Woman.
In this episode, Sharon discusses finding her Janis voice, returning to Bat Out Of Hell and why she has always been a hustler... plus lots more.
