Niamh and Freya to star in musical at King's

Shrektacular roles for talented sisters

Kilmarnock sisters are set to share the stage for the very first time in a major musical production this October.

Ten-year-old Niamh Lee and 16-year-old Freya Lee have been double cast in Shrek the Musical at The King’s Theatre in Glasgow, as Young and Teen Fiona.

For Niamh, this year has delivered three remarkable stage triumphs, all on the historic stage of the King’s Theatre. In January, she captivated audiences and critics alike in the title role of Annie, earning standing ovations and glowing industry and press coverage.

By April, she had swapped the plucky optimism of America’s favourite orphan for the poignancy and purity of Little Cosette in the UK amateur premiere of Les Miserables. Her performance was hailed as “breathtaking” by audiences and industry watchers alike and even caught the attention of London-based talent agents.

Now, Niamh is set to return to the King’s Theatre once again in October, stepping into the emerald world of Shrek the Musical as Young Fiona.

In an extraordinary twist, she will share the stage with her older sister Freya, who has been cast as Teen Fiona in the production by Pantheon Theatre Company.
