A five-year-old schoolgirl, described as a ‘born performer’, has begun her journey to stardom by performing in the musical ‘Waitress’.
Louisa Howcroft, who turned five in March, played Lulu in the musical at the Liverpool Empire Theatre from May 9 to 14. It was the Warrington schoolgirl’s first audition and first stage role ever.
She acted in both evening and afternoon performances at the theatre, which has a capacity of 2,350, and was even asked to sign autographs at the stage door. Louisa’s dad, Phil, said: “We’re still emotional about it, especially when we see her on stage.
