93. Charlie Stemp

He can sing, he can dance, he can act….and he’s a dab hand with yer dahlias - it’s West End leading man Charlie Stemp.

Seb and Verity caught up with Charlie in his (very lovely) dressing room at the Prince Edward Theatre in December, towards the end of his run playing chimney sweep Bert in Mary Poppins.

Charlie chats about Crazy For You where he soon to be reprising his critically acclaimed role as Bobby Child when the production to the Gillian Lynne Theatre in June.

They discuss how he plans to keep fit and healthy for eight shows a week in this hugely demanding role, the art of comedy on stage and what he likes to do in his downtime.

Charlie talks about his time on Broadway, a recent musical journey under the tutelage of fellow CFY cast mate Tom

Edden and some influential encounters - we’re talking Bette Midler, Hilary Clinton, members of the Royal family and……Alan Titchmarsh.
