Beverley Knight’s biggest roles and should the West End shake it up more?

from In the Interval · host Radio Times

Beverley Knight is the queen of British soul, and a jewel in the crown of British theatre. With performances in Sister Act, Sylvia and The Bodyguard under her belt, she’s no stranger to the pressure of iconic roles. We caught Beverley before she took on yet another legendary figure: Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the original musical Marie & Rosetta. On the balcony of St Pancras Station, Beverley talks her inspiration for the role, her routines off stage and the one piece of advice Davie Bowie gave her.  Plus, join Perry and Liv as they deep dive the future of long-running shows. Should they be forced to move on after a certain time?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
