Lucie Jones' Glastonbury Show Will Be a Celebration of Motherhood
As the British musical theatre star took to the stage at Glastonbury, she couldn't have anticipated what was about to happen - her unborn daughter started kicking during one of the most emotional moments in Les Misérables. The moment sparked a sense of determination and joy for Jones, who is now preparing for her upcoming show at London's Palladium.
Jones' set list will be heavily influenced by her own life experiences, including her pregnancy and newfound motherhood. "It's about me and my life," she explains. "The concert is based on ideas we had last year for my Glastonbury set, but this time I am exploring what these songs mean and who I am now." This shift in perspective will undoubtedly resonate with the audience, many of whom have followed Jones' journey.
Performing at iconic venues like the Palladium holds a special significance for Jones. "The history that's in the walls of that building!" she says, visibly moved. "Growing up, I listened to Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli's double album Live at the London Palladium. Every single time I've walked in through the stage door, my stomach's flipped."
Jones' decision to return to Les Misérables was not taken lightly, especially given her recent experience as Fantine with a baby on board. However, she is determined to create a new mould and push boundaries once again. "To be doing it now with my daughter is bonkers," she admits, but the company has been incredibly supportive.
Jones also opens up about her experience playing Elphaba in Wicked and her thoughts on the second film adaptation. While some fans may have expected something different from the sequel, Jones believes that reboots can be done well if they are carried through by the same magic as the original.
The world of musical theatre is full of surprises, but one thing is certain - Lucie Jones is on a mission to celebrate motherhood and inspire her audience with every performance. As she prepares for her show at the London Palladium, it's clear that this will be an unforgettable experience for fans and the star herself.
