Lily de la Haye

My journey to booking my first West End job took the best part of 7 years. For each audition round, year after year I would see Lydia to work on the material. She not only gave me the practical skills to accurately sing a score I thought was far above my ability, her unwavering faith in me kept me going! Lydia had always said that she wouldn’t go to see the show until I was in it - her confidence in me was that strong. I’m delighted to say her patience finally paid off! Having her in the audience for my first performance in the role was an incredibly special moment. Everyone needs a mentor like Lydia in their life, I feel so lucky to have her in mine.

Lily was in Phanton of the Opera for 3 years covering the role of Carlotta.
