⚽ Earlier this year, our very own Sadie Lax was at Hampden with her family as Scotland made history by qualifying for the FIFA World Cup.

Fast forward a few months, and Sadie has been making history of her own.

Representing Team Scotland at the Dance World Cup in Dublin, Sadie was part of the Large Group Lyrical team that achieved an incredible 5th place in the world – an outstanding accomplishment!

We’re so proud of Sadie, who will also be taking to the stage as Maggie in Walkin’ Back. Congratulations from everyone at Team Walkin’ Back – what an incredible achievement, and we can’t wait to see you shine on stage! ❤️

Jacquie Alexander plays adult Helen

I came to musical theatre later than most, after years devoted to raising my family and building a career—but the stage was always waiting.

In the past three years, I’ve thrown myself wholeheartedly into performance, seizing every opportunity to learn, grow, and tell stories. I’ve appeared with Dalgety Players in The Wizard of Oz and lent my voice to the choir of High School Musical. With Rosyth Musical Society, I’ve stepped into the vibrant worlds of Little Shop of Horrors and, most recently, Footloose.

Beyond the stage, I’ve embraced the thrill of live performance through cabaret nights and for a short time, as part of a 60s, 70s and 80s cover band—each experience deepening my passion for music and connection with an audience.

Now, I take an exciting new step onto the Fringe stage as the elder Helen.
It’s a moment that feels both long-awaited and entirely new—and I cannot wait to begin.
