‘Billie is on a performing arts course at New College Durham, and featured in Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s search for a Dorothy auditions earlier this year and was one of 50 girls who were successful in the competition to appear in the Dorothy Farm.’
Emilie had a taste of life on the West End stage when she was 14 - as part of the chorus for the 20th anniversary production of Les Miserables - and she absolutely loved it!
Emilie lives with her parents and younger sister, and has been living in the same house all her life. Her family are a great support to her, but she freely admits that she's probably a bit naive for her age, and hasn't experienced much of life - except through her performing. She started singing lessons at the age of 10, but she's been singing all of her life - it's one of her great passions.
Emilie has successfully taken Grade 5 Music Theory, Grade 8 Musical Theatre and Grade 8 Classical Singing, and most recently received a Music Theatre Diploma ALCM. She has performed in many theatres and concert halls for various concerts. Her biggest performance to date was The Official Opening of The Sage at Gateshead for Her Majesty the Queen

From Easington Colliery to Durham Gala and finishing the hat-trick at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End, the current home of Billy Elliot The Musical. These kids have worked so hard to get to the West End with the help and guidance of some amazing people. It feels good to know that people honour the time and dedication that the kids and the staff put in to create an amazing sell out show.
