Marisha Wallace (Part One)

Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Today we’re joined by the two-time Olivier Award nominated singer and actress Marisha Wallace!

Marisha has the most incredible, powerful voice - so we spoke to her at home in order to preserve her precious instrument from the bad weather!

Growing up on a hog farm in North Carolina, Marisha is no stranger to dogs... she tells us all about her favourite ever dog - a boxer called Chaos (who had a matching personality!)

After starting singing at the age of five in the church - Marisha tells us about how she learned to use her talent as currency, before finding out she needed vocal surgery at the age of 17. Marisha's big break came in the US tour of Book of Mormon - before getting the call to make her West End debut playing Effy White in Dreamgirls, with only five days notice…

On 11th March - Marisha is returning to the Adelphi Theatre for her biggest ever headline show. It's going to be an absolutely spectacular evening of music - and you can find out more information and get your tickets here!

Marisha will be playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret from 28th January 2025 - get your tickets here!

Marisha is also currently playing The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood at The London Palladium - get your tickets here!
