I'm back in the studio this week and I am joined by the one and only Maddie Grace Jepson!! 😛You'll know her from her iconic TikToks (and that tongue lol) that took over lockdown and never really stopped - and now she's living her absolute theatre girl dream playing Lorraine Baines in Back to the Future in the West End, and we had SO much to catch up on.We get into what it's actually like juggling a West End contract with keeping up with content - the exhaustion, the decision fatigue, and the guilt of being a bad texter (relatable honestly).Maddie also opens up about the negativity that came with the Back to the Future announcement, why the "she was just handed the role" comments couldn't be further from the truth, and what it actually took to get into that audition room in the first place.We also do a full double show day in the life as Lorraine Baines, chat lockdown graduations, the Shaftesbury showcase that never happened, and why she thinks the gap between drama school and now was actually the best thing for her.Oh, and we play When You Know The Words musical theatre edition and manifest our dream roles on the pod - which means they legally have to come true now.New episodes every Thursday at 7am!Hit FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE so you never miss an ep ✨💌 Send your Confessions, hotline questions and stagey dares to ⁠hello@howveryhannah.com⁠ or slide into the DMs @howvery_hannahFollow Maddie on socials!
