Read an extract from Louise Dearman & Mark Evans' book

Last month West End stars Louise Dearman (Wicked/Evita/Guys and Dolls) and Mark Evans (The Book of Mormon/Ghost The Musical/Wicked) released their debut book Secrets Of Stage Success, published by Nick Hern Books.

In Secrets Of Stage Success Dearman and Evans answer questions which were submitted by fans and aspiring performers under four sections: Secrets of Learning Your Craft, Secrets of Getting a Job, Secrets of Doing The Job and Secrets of Living the Life. 

Dearman and Evans said: "This is the book for anyone who’s seen a show and thought: ‘That could be me…’ That’s what we used to think growing up, dreaming of working in musical theatre. Now, after years of hard work, we’ve been lucky enough to star in some amazing shows including Wicked, The Book of Mormon, Ghost: The Musical, Evita and Cats. We’ve picked up lots of tips from other performers, and have developed our own strategies and solutions too. In this book, using this knowledge and our experiences, we want to draw back the curtain and shine a spotlight onto how you can follow in our footsteps."
