Rodney Vubya is a musical theatre performer who has appeared in so many things including Book of Mormon, Prince of Wales Theatre, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, Aldwych Theatre, Evita, Regents Park Open Air Theatre, and Street Scene with Opera North, UK Tour.

It all sounds very impressive, but it's even MORE so when you meet him and realise how hard working and humble he is in real life. After leaving school and taking a gap year and then graduating from Leeds University with a degree in Classics before beginning vocational theatre training - let's say Rodney didn't take the typical route. It's very refreshing to hear about someone who got into it late (comparatively) and has enjoyed plenty of success down to talent, of course, but also good old-fashioned hard graft.

It was an absolute joy chatting to Rodney and I hope you enjoy listening just as much. Don't forget, this is all in aid of the Theatres Trust #saveourtheatres campaign so please, donate what you can and let us know what you think!
