S9 Ep30: Lara Denning, Anne in And Juliet

In The Frame: Theatre Interviews from West End Frame

Lara Denning is currently starring as Anne in And Juliet. Following its triumphant West End run and ongoing Broadway engagement, And Juliet is touring the UK and Ireland for the first time.
And Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of iconic pop anthems by Max Martin. The show features hits such as “…Baby One More Time,” “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”.
Most recently Lara was the Standby Norma Desmond for Nicole Scherzinger and Rachel Tucker in Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Sunset Boulevard (Savoy Theatre).
Some of Lara’s other West End credits include: Doreen/Miss Elf in The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 (The Ambassadors & Menier Chocolate Factory), Louise/Eve in Ruthless The Musical (Arts Theatre) and Mrs Bucket in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (Theatre Royal Drury Lane). After understudying Miss Honey and Mrs Wormwood in Matilda (Cambridge Theatre), Lara went on to takeover both roles.
Lara’s other theatre credits include: Lex Logan in Eugenius! (Turbine Theatre), Aunt Fanny in The Famous Five (Theatre Clwyd & Chichester Festival Theatre), Mrs Mullin in Carousel (Kilworth House Theatre), Miss Hedge in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (UK Tour), Mrs Cratchit in Scrooge The Musical (Curve Leicester), The Rocky Horror Show (European Tour), Gotta Sing Gotta Dance (UK Tour), All The Fun Of The Fair (UK Tour) and Dirty Dancing In Concert (UK Tour).
Recorded at And Juliet’s rehearsal studio, in this episode Lara discusses all things And Juliet and Sunset Boulevard, as well as lots more along the way.
And Juliet tours the UK & Ireland from 8th July until June 2025. Visit www.andjulietthemusical.co.uk for info and tickets.
