Tanisha Spring is back In The Frame!

Tanisha is playing Belle in Matthew Warchus’ production of A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic.

The Old Vic’s production of A Christmas Carol has become an annual event and this year Paul Hilton is playing Scrooge. The show marks Tanisha’s return to The Old Vic and reunion with Matthew Warchus, after playing Rita in the 2023 production of Groundhog Day.

Tanisha was last on this podcast two years ago whilst starring as Satine in Moulin Rouge, a role she played full-time after being in the original London cast as Alternate Satine.

Tanisha made her West End debut in Thriller Live (Lyric Theatre). Her theatre credits also include: The Prince of Egypt (Dominion Theatre), Shuck ‘n’ Jive (Soho Theatre), Making P***n (Above the Stag), Caroline or Change (Playhouse Theatre), Big Fish (The Other Palace), One Love (Birmingham Rep) and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Aldwych Theatre).

As well as discussing all-things A Christmas Carol, in this episode Tanisha discusses her run in Moulin Rouge and what it was like to return to the show last-minute earlier this year. She also talked about career goals, why she's taking a break from producing and lots more.

A Christmas Carol runs at The Old Vic through until 10th January. Visit www.oldvictheatre.com for info and tickets.
