Send us a text


Adam Robert Lewis sits down (virtually) with Welsh actress and
singer Sophie Evans. Sophie was born in the Rhondda Valleys. From
a young age and into her teens, Sophie was a member of the
Mid-Rhondda Operatic Society.  In her late teens Sophie
auditioned for 'Over the Rainbow', a BBC talent show in search
for a Dorothy for the London revival of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the
London Palladium in which she earned a place in the Grand
Final. 

Sophie recently ‘returned to Oz’, playing Glinda in the smash hit
musical ‘Wicked’ at the London Apollo Theatre.

Throughout her career Sophie has  performed in venues around
the world including the Lyric Theatre on Broadway, Caesar’s
Palace in Las Vegas and has recently ventured into film work
starring in ‘Pride’ alongside Bill Nighy and in ‘The World’s End’
with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. 

Sophie has also performed with the BBC National Orchestra as well
as singing alongside Michael Ball and Only Boys Aloud.
