Now, after years of hard work, weve been lucky enough to star in some amazing shows, including Wicked, The Book of Mormon, Ghost: The Musical, Evita and Cats.Weve picked up lots of tips from other performers, and have developed our own strategies and solutions too. In this book, using this knowledge and our experiences, we want to draw back the curtain and shine a spotlight onto how you can follow in our footsteps.What makes our book really different (and useful) is that we asked our fans worldwide to submit questions – and thank you to the hundreds of you who did.
