From playing an ensemble part as a tap-dancing egg, to starring in award-winning box office hit Cabaret, Marisha Wallace is no longer waiting in the wings for her dream roles.
Having left behind the comfort and support of friends, family and a life and career in the USA to star on a West End stage, Marisha Wallace knows a thing or two about pursuing dreams. A last-minute call to fill in for Amber Riley in Dreamgirls saw her take a red-eye to London in 2017 and once she set foot on the tarmac, she never looked back. It was this move that launched the performer into stardom, landing her top billing in Waitress and Hairspray, and even a spot on Celebrity Big Brother. This year, the 39-year-old returns to London’s Adelphi Theatre for her biggest ever headline show, as well as taking the lead in stage classic Cabaret alongside Billy Porter. Could 2025 be her most exciting year yet?…
