In musical theatre, Rachel has appeared in a number of lead parts, including the title role in the UK tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita and her West End credits include We Will Rock You, Hairspray and Jersey Boys.

Last year, she reached the semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent, even managing to wow the notoriously hard to please Simon Cowell, who gave her a standing ovation for her performance of ‘With You’.
