S2 Ep9: Lizzie Bea: Hairspray, Heathers and Haunted Theatres! 👻

How Very Hannah

Tuesday, 28 October 2025 - 48 minutes

It’s Halloween week, and the theatre ghosts are officially OUT… but Lizzie Bea’s not afraid!!! 👻🎃In this spookily stagey ep, West End icon and all-round lovely gal Lizzie joins me (with her gorgeous dog, Dolly). You might know her from Hairspray, Sister Act or Heathers.We’re talking tour life chaos, the highs and lows of leading a company, and the very real experience of performance anxiety (yes, even for the pros). Lizzie also shares the wildest backstage ghost story I’ve ever heard… safe to say, I won’t be switching off my dressing room light again.We also get into the power of representation on stage, and what it’s meant to Lizzie to step into leading roles as a plus-size performer - and why visibility, confidence, and feeling “enough” really matters.Plus, this week’s confession has got us all TERRIFIED 👀 because what do you do when you criticised a cast member but turns out… your mic wasn’t turned off (gulp 🫠🫣)?!Got a confession or dilemma of your own?
