A Special Interview With Star Of Stage And Screen, Zizi Strallen

When it comes to theatrical legends, they don't come any more respected or adored than this week's special guest, the star of such stage shows as Mary Poppins, The Car Man and Strictly Ballroom, and featured performer in 2019's big screen adaptation of Cats - Zizi Strallen! Zizi joins Kevin to talk about her incredible career, the ways in which her family's connections to performing shaped her ambitions, and what's coming up in the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the worst parts of the COVID restrictions upon theatre is that there is so much uncertainty about when, if ever, some shows will start back into life. It has meant limbo for scores of performers. The time away from the shows has given many performers the chance to reconnect with other ambitions, such as writing or fitness, allowing a new pathway of creativity to open up. It's never wise to become a stage star if you're in search of fame. It should be about the passion you have for performing live, and the unique ability you bring that can make a show special. Confidence is a trait that's built over time. It helps if support is offered from those who raise you, especially when it comes to being a performer. Grow your confidence and you will achieve self-belief. BEST MOMENTS 'The months go by so quickly when you're enjoying a show that you're doing' - 2:28 'As performers, it's not just a job to us.
