Accrington’s Hollie Steel is back where her career began ten years ago as a hopeful on Britain’s Got Talent
‘THIS is my first lead role as an adult, but the character I am playing is a nine-year-old and I am 19!’, exclaims Hollie Steel, who first burst onto our screens aged ten as the sensational young singer who captured the nation’s hearts on Britain’s Got Talent.
The singer from Accrington had her first audition for the talent show at The Lowry in Salford Quays, and this December she is back gracing the same stage in the theatre’s first ever Christmas show which they have been responsible for commissioning and producing – The Extraordinary Tale of Holly Christmas.
‘I am so excited. It’s great to be back at The Lowry. When I first found out I had the lead role, I was ecstatic. Holly, the character I am playing, is just like me – she loves Christmas too.’
It’s a family show and the main character, Holly Christmas, is clever, fun and fearless – full of energy and ideas. All she wants is for her dad to let some fun into his life but all he wants is for Holly to sit down and stay safe.
A magic book, a Christmas wish and two Christmas elfs launch Holly on an adventure she’ll never forget, creating everything she thinks Christmas should be and teaching Holly, and her Dad, what a perfect Christmas really looks like.
