NICOLA-DAWN BROOK
Actor/Singer
Hi! Thanks for visiting. Hopefully you've heard of me through the grapevine or just seen a show and read my website in a theatre programme. However or whatever....Welcome.
I am an actor and singer with over 38 fun packed years of experience in the entertainment industry. I love what I do and hopefully you loved it too! I feel blessed to share the stage with so many talented people and am grateful, everyday for being able to perform to people every night.
This years is an exciting one as I get to be part of the world premier of the amazing new musical 'Maggie'. A story based on the life of Johnny Reid's grandmother in Glasgow, Scotland.
Please check out my future and current projects and some glimpses of the past ones!
MY ROOTS
I walked on a stage at 3 years of age and never wanted to get off it. It sounds kind of corny, but it's true. I made my professional acting debut in 1983 in a TV movie with Roger Daltrey and Twiggy, and have not looked back. Our house where I grew up was filled with music and laughter. My mum, a pianist and my dad, a singer, were steeped in theatre and always encouraged our creativity. People used to refer to us as the Von Brook's becasue we were like the family in Sound of Music, always putting on a show and making costumes. Learning harmonies was as natural to me as riding a bike. I would sing so loud in school assembly that I would be told to "turn it down". Nothing has changed...
I have made appearances in a number of film, television, circus and theatre productions, working with incredible names in the industry. I love performing; there is something so unbelievably gratifying about playing different roles, while putting my own twist on each performance. It's joyous, liberating and cathartic. I particularly love working on new musicals. The excitement and responsibility of creating something new is such a thrill.
I've traveled the globe several times over, doing what I love. My gratitude is immeasurable.
