Much like the other contestants, Stephanie has “always wanted to play the role of Sophie”. Stephanie grew up listening to ABBA and the musical itself, and said it would be “a dream come true” to play the role on the West End. Stephanie began performing when she was very young, and always used to sing and dance Disney songs with her sister in their living room. “I followed in my sister’s footsteps and joined Tring Park School of the Performing Arts in 2012 for seven years, which taught me so much about musical theatre,” Stephanie said of her starting steps in musical theatre. She later attended the Guildford School of Acting and graduated in 2022, which she “honed” her skills and built up her confidence “significantly”.
