Sara has been in the industry for over 20 years, with her training starting in Classical and Opera, aged 11, later moving into rock and pop, writing and recording her own material. After working with a variety of session musicians, Sara felt it was time to form her own Band. They toured the UK, playing at some iconic venues. When she was just 16, Sara worked with Producer Gordon Raphael, who has produced bands including 'the Strokes' and  'Skin' (lead singer of Skunk Anansie). Gordon produced and played on Saras EP’s and appeared in an early music video. Sara has toured all over the UK, including festivals, with write ups in NME, made TV appearances and has performed live on radio including the BBC. Sara decided to take a different path in her 20's and joined the world of Musical Theatre, where she has since played the roles of Deloris in Sister Act, Crystal in little shop of horrors, Regina in Rock of Ages and many more. Sara has most recently won various Noda Awards including 'best leading female in a Musical' for her role as Lady of lake in Spamalot, ‘best supporting female in a Musical’ for her role as Paulette in Legally Blonde, ‘Best Concert / Revue’ and best Pantomime for her position as Director.
