S9 Ep21: Natalie Paris, Kit De Luca in Pretty Woman & original Jane Seymour in Six

In The Frame: Theatre Interviews from West End Frame

Olivier nominee Natalie Paris is currently starring as Kit De Luca in Pretty Woman The Musical.
Following its hugely successful West End run, Pretty Woman is on its first UK & Ireland tour. The show is directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell with music and lyrics by Bryan Adams.
Natalie started her career as a child, playing Young Cosette in the Wets End production of Les Misérables and Louise in Sunday in the Park with George at the Menier Chocolate Factory and cast recording. She was also in the West End productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Billy Elliot.
Natalie then spent time in the music world, performing countless gigs internationally.
She returned to theatre as an adult and originated the role of Jane Seymour in Six The Musical. Natalie was with the show from its initial Arts Theatre performances in 2017 and recorded the cast album, including her iconic rendition of "Heart Of Stone" which has been streamed over 38 million times on Spotify.
Natalie continued with Six through to its original UK tour, including a sell out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and West End run at the Arts, Lyric and Vaudeville theatres. She was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical in 2019 for her performance in Six, alongside the original queens.
After leaving the West End production at the end of 2021, Natalie returned to Six the following year to reunite with the original cast for three special performances at Hampton Court Palace and to film the show in the West End. Last year Natalie once again returned to Six, this time touring the US in the first North American Tour.
Some of her other theatre credits include: The Regulars (Hope Mill Theatre), Emojiland (Garrick Theatre) and No Limits (Turbine Theatre).
In this episode Natalie discusses creating her signature Kit De Luca riff, the path she took after having West End success as a child and what her relationship is like now with "Heart Of Stone"... plus lots more!
Pretty Woman tours the UK & Ireland until September 2024. Visit www.uk.prettywomanthemusical.com for info and tickets.
