She's back!! Gracie McGonigal made her How Very Hannah debut on the What's On Stage red carpet and now she's finally in the studio, and this chat did not disappoint. 🎭Gracie is currently playing Little Red in Into the Woods at the Bridge Theatre and we get into everything - how she genuinely thought Little Red died after Act One and had no idea how much of the show she was in, the Disney Jaw she's currently suffering from, and what it was like keeping her Bridgerton casting a secret for months while going back onstage like everything was completely normal.We also talk about booking Bridgerton, why there's no set route into this industry and never has been, the drama school rules that are complete nonsense (RIP the coloured leotard and the acting skirt), and what it actually feels like to tick off your dream roles and wonder what comes next.New episodes every Thursday at 7am!
