Rebecca Trehearn - West End's Welsh Jewel!


I simply have to introduce you to Rebecca Trehearn.  She's a sensationally talented singer/actress hailing from Rhyl in Wales and she can currently be found treading the boards in London's West End. 
 
Rebecca is one of those rare jewels of a singer who can carry off a whole host of vocal styles.  Her voice has light and shade, beauty and grace, grit, power, soul and whole lotta rock n roll!

Rebecca studied and obtained a degree in performance at Mountview Academy of Theatre and Arts in London.  She has always lived and breathed singing and performance.  From the age of 7 she began competing as a singer and she started her professional stage career at the tender age of 10.

Her professional stage debut was as Princess Dim-Sum in Aladdin (City Varieties Theatre, Leeds, 2004).
Since then Rebecca has performed in the following roles:
Annie in the premiere of Alfie the Musical (Palace Theatre, Watford, 2005)
Covered & played Meat and Killer Queen in We Will Rock You (Dominion, 2007)

















Dirty Dancing (Aldwych, 2008)
Covered and played Rose in Aspects Of Love (Menier Chocolate Factory, 2010)
Bernada Alba played Martirio (Union Theatre, Southwark, 2011)
Covered and played Jenny in Love Story (Duchess, 2012/2011)
Title roles in Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella (Pavilion, Rhyl, 2009/2010).
Workshops include Jack Dagger (Greenwich Theatre)
Moonshadow - featuring the music of Cat Stevens - and Playsong (Tristan Bates)
Television includes Casualty and A470.
Rebecca won The Wow Factor for S4C (Welsh version of X-Factor) which led to the release of her self-titled solo CD. 
 
She is also a session singer and has contributed to film soundtracks including Sweeney Todd, The Da Vinci Code and Mamma Mia!
She can also be heard as Rosalia on the 50th Anniversary recording of West Side Story and on the Love Story original cast recording.


Rebecca is currently ensemble/cover for Molly Jensen in Ghost The Musical 

(Piccadilly Theatre, London West End, 2012)

I recently attended West End In Concert at The Actors Church, Covent Garden on Sunday 20th May 2012 where I had the pleasure of hearing Rebecca perform two songs.  
I captured her stunning performances on video here:
