From Nottingham to Broadway, Grace Hodgett-Young is one of musical theatre’s brightest new stars.

After training at Mountview, Grace made a stunning West End debut as Betty Schaeffer in Sunset Boulevard, a performance that earned her an Olivier Award nomination and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Debut. She quickly followed with the role of Eurydice in Hadestown, before reprising Betty for the Sunset Boulevard transfer to Broadway.

Her work has already been captured forever on the audio albums for both Hadestown and Sunset Boulevard, cementing her place as one of the most exciting new voices of her generation.

✨ In this episode we chat about:

• How it feels to be recognised with Olivier and WhatsOnStage nominations so early in her career

• The whirlwind journey from Mountview to the West End and Broadway

• What it’s like stepping into huge, vocally demanding roles like Eurydice and Betty Schaeffer

• The recording process and what it means to have her performances immortalised on cast albums

Grace’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary, and this conversation is full of honesty, inspiration and behind the scenes insight.
