#NewMusicFriday: Last week, you saw the amazing performance by Annalise Bradbury – and this week I’m introducing you to her sister, Ellie Bradbury, and their great friend, Matilda Shapland. Matilda is best known for playing the title role of Matilda the Musical from 2014 to 2015. She made her West End debut as Young Éponine and Little Cosette in Les Misérables. She met Ellie in 2019 when sharing the role of Young Millie in The Butterfly Lion at Chichester Festival Theatre, where Ellie has most recently been in their production of Pinocchio. This performance of ‘Apex Predator’ from Mean Girls is in honour of the show’s time on Broadway. Earlier this month, it was sadly announced that the show won’t be returning when Broadway reopens. Hopefully we will be able to see this show on a West End stage sometime soon. Hope you enjoy this performance by Ellie and Matilda!
