About Me


Poppy has had an incredible career in show business from starring in London's West End to major blockbuster movies and the international concert platform.
She is well known to theatre goers with lead roles such as Tess and Cosette. Having just finished starring in the smash hit musical Mary Poppins in London she just started to star in My Fair Lady as Eliza in Denmark.
In between her busy theatre schedule she is also working on her self-penned debut album, ‘Unlock Me’.
Her musical style is like a cross between Lisa Stansfield, Shakira and Alanis Morissette and her favourite band is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Born in the East End of London where she still lives, Poppy trained at Italia Conti (London) and TVI studios, Los Angeles. She is a trained singer and a dancer and has appeared in numerous musicals and theatre.
She also appeared in the latest Batman movie.
