Bradley and Michelle's Profile
Bradley & Lauren
Student Bradley Clarkson, 25, from Hertfordshire, once worked as an
usher handing out ice cream in a West End theatre.
He has since come full circle and is hoping to wow the judges and viewers
with his acting and singing skills.
“I have loved Grease since I was a kid and my sister Lydia and
I can even now recite most of the film script,” he says.
“Grease is accessible to all. To be part of it, with the opportunity
to entertain millions singing songs from the UK’s favourite musical,
it’s the biggest break I’m going to get!”
Bradley's new partner Lauren McConnell, a 16-year-old student from
Sussex, has never had any theatrical training, but gave judge Sinitta
goose bumps when she auditioned for Sandy.
Currently studying for her GCSEs, Lauren is focused on her dream of
winning the role, and has managed to balance both her school work and
aspirations for stage stardom with the help of her former show partner,
Danny Rhodes.
“It’s a dream, and when you have a dream you go and get
it, so that’s what I want to do,” she says.
“I am young and so I can be taught easily, and I am willing to
give everything a go and be the best I can be.”
