Jenna's credits include many of the most iconic roles in theatre, including playing both Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserables (West End), Mary Flynn in the Olivier Award winning production of Merrily We Roll Along (West End) as well as roles in the West End productions of Follies and Hello, Dolly. She has also performed on Broadway in Urinetown and Songs For A New World. Jenna won an Olivier Award for her performance in Sunday In The Park With George and has been nominated for Olivier's for her performances in Guys and Dolls , Merrily We Roll Along and, most recently, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry . On this episode of Call To Stage , Amber and Jenna talk about making the roles of Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserables her own (and how she made the roles harder for everyone who followed), what it was like working with Stephen Sondheim himself and her audition story for Sinatra: The Musical . There are also stories from Broadway, Guys and Dolls and Into The Woods (alongside Hannah Waddingham!), as well as reflections on Sylvia Young's quiet generosity, the upcoming Sunday in the Park with George revival and Ariana Grande's casting.
