In The Frame: Theatre Interviews from West End Frame

Listen Later

Samuel Edwards is In The Frame!

Most recently, Sam played Stuart in the original West End cast of Mrs Doubtfire (Shaftesbury Theatre) and starred as Billy Crocker in Kathleen Marshall’s revival of Anything Goes (Barbican Centre).

After making his West End debut understudying Sam Wheat in Ghost The Musical, Sam covered Enjolras in Les Misérables, Rolf in The Sound of Music (Regent's Park Open Air Theatre) and Fiyero in Wicked (Apollo Victoria). Impressively, Sam took over as Fiyero in Wicked's UK & Ireland Tour and returned to the West End production of Les Misérables to star as Enjolras. He also returned to Ghost as Carl (Asia Tour). 

Some of Sam's additional theatre roles include Sonny in the UK premiere of Xanadu (Southwark Playhouse) and Ozzie in On The Town (Regent's Park Open Air Theatre). On screen he has appeared in Ted Lasso, Brave New World, Doctors and Hollyoaks.

In this episode, Sam discusses how overwhelming it was to make his West End debut understudying Richard Fleeshman in Ghost, his trend of returning to shows and how he almost missed out on playing Billy Crocker... plus lots more!
