Rebecca Trehearn by‏ Sophie Hankinson

Continuing in this series of blogs by theatre fans writing about their favourite performer this newest blog comes from Sophie who writes about Rebecca Trehearn.

When did you first discover your performer?
I first discovered her on twitter as I followed a lot of performers just never saw them live. I knew about her in Ghost as my friend saw her as Molly Jensen in London. So when she was cast as Molly for the UK tour of Ghost I was elated that I could finally see her portrayal of Molly Jensen.

Have you seen them perform live if so in what show?
I have seen Rebecca as Molly Jensen in Ghost 3 times. Outstanding every time. I hope soon I can see her perform at a gig or two.

How would you describe them to your fellow theatre fans?
Truly incredible on stage and off. Her voice is so powerful and just makes me cry (in a good way of course). And so lovely in person too! Plus she posts some hilarious tweets on twitter that make me laugh for days. She's just a wonderful person.

Favourite performance?
The last time I saw Ghost (Feb 22nd) was a special performance for me as it would be the last time I saw this cast. Rebecca was so amazing as Molly that she even made me cry during scenes such as Here Right Now and Three Little Words. Not to mention her acting and gorgeous singing during With You and Nothing Stops Another Day.

Favourite song you've heard them perform?
All of these songs I chose is because she sings them with such passion that by the end of them I'm a blubbering mess. So, Nothing Stops Another Day from Ghost, The Hill from Once, Reasons/Finale from Bobby Cronin's 'A Concrete Jungle' and Pure Imagination.

Have you met them?
Yes and she's so so so lovely. I've gotten a few pictures with her and given her some presents at stage door which is always a pleasant experience. Although I can never put into words how amazing she is up front so here's hoping next time I see her I can tell her how fantastic she is.

What show would you like to see them in?
Gahhhh so many! Wicked of course as Elphaba. Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd, Mrs Lyons in Blood Brothers, Fantine in Les Mis, Girl in Once and hoping Bobby Cronin's A Concrete Jungle comes across the pond so she can play Abby in that. Just... Give her all the roles!
