Dianne Pilkington is currently starring as Elizabeth Benning in Young Frankenstein in the West End.   We chatted over a cup of tea in her dressing room in the run up to the Olivier Awards.   She talked about her pre-show rituals, how she learned to cope with Wickedmania, and her 20 years in musical theatre.   Dianne also showed me the vintage bed-come-sofa she inherited from Lily James which now has Matthew Horne’s gold bedspread on it. It sounds odd but it suits her character in this show perfectly.    Young Frankenstein is booking at the Garrick Theatre until September 2018.
