Charlene is amazing!
Charlene founded FPA!
Charlene’s remarkable West End career sparkles with roles in beloved musicals. From prowling the stage in CATS, remembering all of the colours in JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, sailing through ANYTHING GOES, trying to keep dry in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, saying "bonjour!" to Belle in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and tapping her way through 42ND STREET, Charlene’s performances have delighted audiences in a myriad of iconic shows.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to FORD and all that you do to bring music, dance, and performance into our daughter's life. Her improved confidence, love of music, and awareness of theatre is mostly down to you and the team. We are so grateful!
Wow that was incredible. Full of joy from a brilliant, fun, and feel-good class!
The way you have nurtured our children and instilled so much confidence in them is truly inspiring.
