Scarlett Strallen (born 3 July 1982) is an English stage actress, best known for her work in musical theatre productions in the West End and on Broadway. She has received two Olivier Award nominations, in 2006 for her portrayal of Josephine in ''HMS Pinafore'', performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and in 2012 for her role in ''Singin' in the Rain''. Strallen played the title role in the West End production of ''Mary Poppins'' opposite Gavin Lee as Bert, at the Prince Edward Theatre from 2005 (as a replacement to original cast member Laura Michelle Kelly) to 2006, when she left to join The Royal Shakespeare Company's musical production of ''The Merry Wives of Windsor'' in Stratford. She returned to ''Poppins'' in 2007, replacing Lisa O'Hare, and stayed with the production until it closed in January 2008. For her performance as Mary Poppins, Strallen was nominated for the Best Takeover Role Award at the 2006 Theatregoers' Choice Awards. Strallen was invited to play the role in the Broadway production of ''Mary Poppins'' in 2008, replacing Ashley Brown and stayed with the show until October 2009, when she was replaced by Laura Michelle Kelly. She then temporarily played the part again in the Sydney production from November to December 2011. Strallen reprised the role of Mary Poppins with two other actresses who had also performed the role, Lisa O'Hare and Caroline Sheen, for the special benefit concert of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe's songs, "A Spoonful of Stiles and Drewe", at Her Majesty's Theatre. She had expressed interest in the West End production of ''Wicked'', but could not audition due to her involvement with ''Mary Poppins''. In 2011, Strallen originated the role of Kathy Selden in the UK revival of ''Singin' in the Rain'', a production that opened at the 2011 Chichester Festival Theatre and then moved to the West End Palace Theatre. In 2013, Strallen originated the role of Cassie in the West End revival of ''A Chorus Line'', which opened in February and was directed by the original choreographer Bob Avian. Later the same year, Strallen joined the Menier Chocolate Factory production of Candide, where she played the role of Cunegonde from 23 November 2013 to 22 February 2014. She has also performed in the ensembles of the West End productions of ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'', ''The Witches of Eastwick'' and ''Mamma Mia!''. Strallen has appeared on a number of audio books down the years. One of her first, as a child, was as Matilda Wormwood in an audio dramatisation of Roald Dahl's ''Matilda'' in 1990, released on audio cassette as part of the Roald Dahl Theatre Collection, dramatising a selection of the author's most popular children's books. She also appears in plays for BBC Radio 4. ==Theatre appearances== * ''The Music Man'' - Marian Paroo at Chichester Festival Theatre 2008 Season * ''The Merry Wives of Windsor'' - Anne Page * ''Mary Poppins'' - Mary Poppins (Broadway, West End, and Sydney) * ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'' - Truly Scrumptious * ''Mamma Mia!'' * ''The Witches of Eastwick'' (original cast) * ''Singin' in the Rain'' Kathy Selden at Chichester Festival Theatre 2011 Season and West End * ''A Chorus Line'' 2013 West End - Broadway Revival * ''Candide (operetta)'' 2013 - 2014 Menier Chocolate Factory〔http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/production/2013/09/scarlett-strallen-david-thaxton-cast-meniers-candide/〕 * ''A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder'' 2015 - Sibella 〔https://twitter.com/GentlemansGuide/status/564449905323044864/photo/1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scarlett Strallen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
