5 Minutes With: Anjali Mehra, Matthew Bourne's Cinderella, Theatre Royal
Anjali Mehra plays ‘Sybil’ – the Stepmother in Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella, which is playing at Newcastle Theatre Royal from Tuesday 17 April – Saturday 28 Apr 2018. We catch up about life in NE1...
First time in the Toon?
No, it’s about my 4th time!
Have you brought your coat?
Yes! But I won’t be wearing it... I want to fit in!
Best Tyneside moment?
We have always had really great audiences in Newcastle for every show and that’s why it’s the only venue we do two weeks in... so we all look forward to coming here.
Favourite Geordie?
Well, I just learned that Rowan Atkinson and Sting are from Newcastle, so I would say them!
NE1 plans?
We have our annual fancy dress party in Newcastle, so we are gonna get ‘mortal’ - is that right?!
What would you be doing if you weren’t here now?
If I wasn’t here in Newcastle, I would be on the beach in Hawaii!
Fun fact?
On one of our tours, I was held at the airport because I had the same name as a terrorist who only had nine fingers... so I had to prove I had all my fingers!
