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.

She says meeting the original Cabaret film's star, Liza Minelli, was an incredible experience (audio file attached):
