S9 Ep33: Josefina Gabrielle, Denise in The Baker's Wife

In The Frame: Theatre Interviews from West End Frame

Olivier nominee Josefina Gabrielle is playing Denise in the London revival of The Baker's Wife.
Featuring the iconic song 'Meadowlark', The Baker's Wife is written by Stephen Schwartz and Joseph Stein. The show first ran in the West End in 1989 and is being revived at the Menier Chocolate Factory directed by Gordon Greenberg.
Josefina received her first Olivier Award nomination for her performance as Laurey in Oklahoma! at the National Theatre, a role she later reprised on Broadway. Josefina has been nominated for two further Olivier Awards for her performances in Sweet Charity and Merrily We Roll Along, both at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
Josefina recently played Madame Thénardier in the West End production of Les Misérables (Sondheim Theatre). Just a few of her further theatre credits include Chicago (Garrick, Cambridge, Adelphi & Pheonix), The Witches of Eastwick (Prince of Wales), The 39 Steps (Criterion), Hello, Dolly! (Regent’s Park Open Air), The King and I (UK Tour), Two Into One (Menier Chocolate Factory & Harold Pinter) and A Chorus Line (Sheffield Crucible).
Recorded on the set of The Baker's Wife at the Menier Chocolate Factory, in this episode Josefina discusses what drew her to this production of The Baker's Wife and what happened when Stephen Schwartz visited rehearsals. She also reminisces about special moments of her career - such as Oklahoma!, Merrily We Roll Along and Les Misérables.
The Baker's Wife runs at the Menier Chocolate Factory until 14th September. Visit www.menierchocolatefactory.com for info and tickets.
