Sam Barks says she can't wait to step out on stage in her new high-profile role.
Sam will play Sally Bowles opposite Wayne Sleep after securing the role in a touring production of the West End hit Cabaret.
The Laxey singing star popped up to Manx Radio for a chat with Bob Harrison during a flying visit to the Island to open the new £500,000 beauty hall in Boots.
She says meeting the original Cabaret film's star, Liza Minelli, was an incredible experience (audio file attached):
