Carmel Rodrigues has always loved performing and has been singing, acting and generally dancing up a storm since a very young age. She’s making her professional musical theatre debut as everyone’s favourite nicest kid in town, Tracy Turnblad, in Hairspray, currently playing at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre.

In this bonus edition of In Conversation, Tracy talks with excitement about landing her first professional musical roll, working with the star studded cast of this great feel-good musical, plus we hear about her time as a contestant on The Voice.

An edited version of this interview was broadcast on Fine Music Breakfast on 2 March.
