  Bronte seems next to be in Guys and Dolls 15-23 March
  http://twitter.com/GuysAndDollsMV
  Bernie Grant arts centre Tottenham - though no details up there yet.
  http://www.berniegrantcentre.co.uk/
  
  Twitter followers will have noted the OTR girls are going to the girls in stage school's shows....:):)
  
  Tells you something about how the UK runs that all but one of the OTR contestants is now based/has a base in/around London. .
  
  And for something entirely different - Bronte sings in welsh.

  There's an article, video of the show, including some of Bronte and her cygnet " costume", and a recording of a solo song by Bronte, all at
  
  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/10144225/Behind-the-scenes-at-Carnival-of-the-Animals.html
  
  
  The song is recordable. Agree - she's sounding very classy.:):) Interesting they are using her for their publicity too.
  
  Carnivale starts this week

  Bronte has finished in Carnivale and is about to do Momentous Musicals.
  There's a review of Carnivale http://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2013/07/13/carnival-of-the-animals-at-riverside-studios-theatre-review/
  and some more pictures at http://westend.broadwayworld.com/article/Photo-Flash-Anita-Dobson-and-More-Rehearse-for-CARNIVAL-OF-THE-ANIMALS-at-Riverside-Studios-20130624#
  Red beak = Swan Bronte
  Black Beak = Cygnet Bronte
  There was an outfit to match . Swan Bronte was particularly striking Both were very endearing and captivating . Strange though watching the heads talk as Bronte did..where do you look?
  Bronte sounded really great , and had a lot of the shows big songs to sing, and she got to add puppetry to her CV too.......

  And the big news is that Bronte Barbe is staying with Shrek into its second year on tour.
  
  And the very, very, big news is that she's taking over as the main female lead Princess Fiona :):)
  http://www.westendframe.com/2015/04/new-cast-announced-for-shrek-uk-ireland.html#more
  Bronte talks about it here. :):)
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhGK_s-mzfk
  
  By some reports she starts in July in Southampton - but check. Tour goes into 2016
  
  http://shrekthemusical.co.uk/tour-dates/
  
  This is a very big role, and she will be a young Fiona ,compared to whats come before in the UK. Well done Bronte.
  
  Bronte's also just recorded the album for Cool Rider - which may be available soon.

  http://www.thelowdownmagazine.com/Review_Shrek_the_Musical-13206.html "Bronte Barbe too is simply stunning as Fiona and a marvellous dancer, particularly in an Astaire and Rogers style dance motive that was wonderfully timed, beautifully rehearsed and a refreshing start to act two."

  Bronte is currently at the penultimate stop of the Shrek tour in Wimbledon, before it goes to the Lowry Manchester.
  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZCT8K2W8AEASF1.jpg:large
  
  There's a youtube of Bronte singing Morning Person, and doing her tap number....
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNAVZQO3qco :):)
  
  There's a second youtube of her singing " I Know It's Today" - the first third is child princess , then its teen princess , and then Bronte from 2-55. :)
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQdRAe1o62A
  
  And at 1-55 its Bronte in Big Bright Beautiful World too - till 3-00 - she gets to show off her accent......
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYWLQuyjJcg
  
  Saw Bronte in Wimbledon and she's really excellent . She sings strongly , maintains a great accent throughout, and plays someone older completely credibly - great acting, very funny and sounds great . . You also get to see her dance - including tap...... well worth a look, .
  
  She's done a couple of interviews
