Naarah (pronounced Nay-ah-rah), is originally from Australia and has been working in the industry down under for several years across multiple platforms. Those include, musical theatre, songwriting, content creation and hosting the National Radio Show “The Musical Show” on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Co-operation).

She was also Young Australian of the Year for 2024. 

After a few years in Australia she moved to London to attend the prestigious Royal Academy of Music. During that time she appeared in the recent Lyric Hammersmith production of “Our Country’s Good” by Timberlake Wertenbaker. A play that looked the mass exile of prisoners to Australia in the 1780s and the impact it had on its cultural landscape. Widely considered one of the greatest plays of our time. 

She was praised for her voice giving “weight to the story and an insight from the Earth, land, water, air and the Indigenous communities. Her voice, soft and lyrical, is a welcome relief when she wafts on stage to share an entirely different language and truth” (review by Nilgün Yusuf). 

As well as this she has appeared in:

• We Will Rock You
• Into the Woods
• Come From Away
• Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Deadloch - Amazon Prime
• The Sunshine Club among many more!

We discuss her time at the Royal Academy of Music, moving to London, the impact of “Our Country’s Good” and our mutual love of Australia!
