Twenty-year-old Lisa Collier has joined the four-piece band Back to Broadway in performing songs from Broadway and the West End on 23 dates during the tour.

Lisa has been performing since the age of three and regularly appeared with her mother and older sisters at their local amateur dramatic society as a youngster.

She trained at Just Dance in Swaffham, Busybodies Stage School in Dereham and Footlights Dance Centre in Lynn before moving to London to study.

The former Litcham High School pupil completed the London Studio Centre's three-year foundation degree course in musical theatre and dance studies.

Back to Broadway performs showstopping numbers from musicals including Grease, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!, The Lion King, Wicked and Phantom of the Opera.

Lisa, who rates Ruthie Henshall and Lea Salonga among her idols, said: "I am thrilled to be part of the Back to Broadway cast.

"I get to perform many songs from some of the greatest musicals. I thoroughly enjoy the variety of the show which offers something for all ages."

She said musical theatre has incredible power over the audience. "The live atmosphere takes you through all manner of emotions, portrayed by song and dance. I love performing on the stage, singing and dancing – it gives me such a buzz," she said.

Each show on the tour raises money for the Children with Leukaemia registered charity.
