There’s no doubt about it – 2016 got off to a pretty horrendous start when the world learnt of the death of David Bowie. Fortunately, as a small comfort, we are now able to enjoy some of his last works in the form of Lazarus – the musical inspired by Walter Tevis’s novel, The Man Who Fell To Earth.
Bowie previously starred in the 1976 adaptation of the same name, which was directed by Nicholas Roeg. In the London stage play, actress Amy Lennox stars as Elly, the assistant of Thomas Newton.
Never one to be typecast or boxed in, Lennox has already taken on a diverse number of roles in musicals such as Kinky Boots and 9 To 5, and movies such as Never Let Me Go and Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines.
I took the Aberdeen actress and singer Slot Gampang Maxwin to Rupert Street, a familiar Soho haunt, where Amy shared her favourite TV shows and movies from 2016.
Watch the interview with Amy in the video below.
• Lazarus – David Bowie Musical – is now running at London’s King’s Cross Theatre until 22 Jan.
