Q&A with: Samantha Seager

Samantha Seager is an actress and singer with many credits across stage and screen – including Billy Elliot the musical, Coronation Street, Doctors, Me Too! and many more. Most recently, she’s been playing the iconic Marlene in Only Fools and Horses the musical.

This is where we first crossed paths in 2019, and I’ve been inspired by her talent, energy and lust-for-life and the arts ever since – so I caught up with her to see what she has been up to while theatre has been put on pause…

Dressing Room 9 & Jennifer Hepburn

A week ago, I got the pleasure of enjoying not one incredible gig but TWO, thanks to four of my favourite West End Wendies. First up was “Dressing Room 9” aka Dianne Pilkington, Samantha Seager and Pippa Duffy who currently share a room at Only Fools and Horses the musical with an afternoon at The Theatre Cafe. With just a brief interval between shows, next up was Jennifer Hepburn: One Night Only at the Above the Arts cabaret venue. To those who may not know, Jen is currently starring in Mamma Mia! in the ensemble and cover for all three Dynamos.

Both gigs were so stonkingly good, that I wish I had time to give them the full individual reviews they deserve, but due to time constraints this little summary will have to do – but I think neither party will mind me shouting out about powerful women empowering women!
