Valerie’s West End roles include Fraulein Kost in Cabaret, Marlene Dietrich in Piaf, Madame Egorova in Beautiful and Damned (the story of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, directed by Craig Revell Horwood) and The Queen ofTransylvania in My Fair Lady. She played Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera, Mrs Mullin in Carousel and Ninotchka – the role played by Greta Garbo in Ernst Lubitch’s 1939 film Ninotchka. In 2015 she played Rafaella in Grand Hotel at the Southwark Playhouse, the role she took over in Tommy Tune’s original Broadway production. Valerie has performed in cabaret at Birdland in New York and at London venues including the St James Studio, Jermyn Street Theatre, Soho Revue Bar, The Old Vic Theatre Bar, Freud’s in Covent Garden, Wimbledon Theatre Studio and Torch in King’s Cross.
