Show Notes Chapter Markers

Carly is currently reprising her Olivier nominated performance as Erma in Kathleen Marshall's production of Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre.

Since previously joining us on Series 2 Episode 6 of In The Frame, Carly hasn't stopped! She was cast as Jane Seymour in the UK tour of Six, but sadly never made her debut due to a lockdown. Her recent credits include Shug Avery in The Color Purple (Leicester Curve - Digital), June in Gypsy in Concert (Alexandra Palace Theatre) and Cassie in A Chorus Line (Leicester Curve). Carly received huge acclaim for her performance as Erma in Anything Goes, winning a WhatsOnStage Award and receiving an Olivier Award nomination.

Carly's extensive credits also include: Anita in West Side Story (Leicester Curve), Helene in Sweet Charity (Nottingham Playhouse), Fate in Hadestown (National Theatre), Henri in The View Upstairs (Soho Theatre) and Charlaine in Ain’t Misbehavin’ (Southwark Playhouse & Mercury Colchester). Carly’s West End credits include Rock of Ages, Dirty Dancing, Chicago, Memphis and Dreamgirls where she understudied and regularly played the role of Lorelle. She has also appeared in Hair, High School Musical, Dance Til Dawn and The Lorax.

Anything Goes completes its run at the Barbican Theatre on 3rd September. Visit www.anythinggoesmusical.co.uk for info and tickets.
