The
What attracted Osborne to this musical?
Osborne
What (if anything) did she find challenging in playing her character?
Osborne:Tzeitel is at a huge pinnacle point in her life at the start of the piece; the man she marries dictates her happiness for the rest of her life. There is so much at stake for her, therefore going to such extreme emotions is a wonderful personal challenge – to discover in the first place, and then also to consistently perform every night. That in particular has been a great learning curve too. The musical has some interesting characters.
We asked Osborne, what character other than her own did she find interesting and why?
Osborne: Tevye is an obvious choice, but it goes without saying his personal journey is such an incredible climb. His contemplations and personal debates are so relatable and are what make him so endearing to the audience as they loyally support and follow him through the show.
What does she think an audience will love about this show?
Osborne:All the creatives on board the project are incredible. There is so much detail in every aspect of the show and I think audiences will be able to find new things no matter how many times they watch it.
