Olivia Brooks is starring in Les Misérables.
Nine-year-old Olivia Brooks, a student at a Buckingham performing arts school, has secured the coveted role of Little Cosette in the West End production of Les Misérables in London's Sondheim Theatre. She was previously cover for Little Cosette and Eponine since last year, but in January she won the role of Little Cosette. She started performing the role full time at the beginning of February.
As well as playing the role of Little Cosette, Olivia is to tap dance her way through 'In Summer' as Olaf in Stagecoach Buckingham's performance of Frozen Junior in March.

Olivia started training with Stagecoach at the tender age of three attending the Early Stages classes. Tilly James, Stagecoach Buckingham's Principal recalls, 'She was a cute and bubbly little girl with a flair for dance. Now age nine, Olivia has blossomed into an outstanding performer, and we couldn't be prouder of her journey.'
Olivia says, for her, Stagecoach is, 'like a family. I have brilliant teachers who really get to know me as a person, so they know how to help me. I have so many friends that I can't wait to see every week. Everyone is supportive and helpful. I love learning about performing and being able to take part in LAMDA exams and shows.'
Tilly James, Stagecoach Buckingham's Principal reflects 'Olivia's success not only a testament to her talent but also highlights the importance of providing children with a platform to shine and the confidence to express themselves, the arts has so many physical and mental health benefits. As Olivia embarks on this exciting new chapter, we look forward to watching her grow and excel in her craft. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this extraordinary young performer and all the students at Stagecoach Buckingham!'
Olivia really is the true spirit of Stagecoach "I would love to have my own dance and drama school one day, plus I want to work at my Stagecoach as soon as I can helping the little ones."
