Rosie Abraham plays Mildred Hubble’s vindictive class mate Ethel in this hotly anticipated production, which is now touring the UK stopping at Leicester Curve, Birmingham Hippodrome, Liverpool Playhouse and many other UK venues, which are all listed here.
The Worst Witch and Rosie are already receiving fantastic reviews:
“mean-girl Ethel Hallow (the delectably nasty Rosie Abraham)”
“Each of the show’s stars know how to deliver a well-timed witty line, with exactly the right kind of facial expression, to send the audience into fits of giggles. This was particularly evident in Rosie Abraham’s portrayal of the snobby Ethel, who conveys so much with just a flick of the head or a raised eyebrow.”
“Abraham plays the part of the brat perfectly with attitude and nastiness exuding from every line she utters. A truly abhorrent character with the ever-loyal followers hanging on her every word.”
“[Miss Cackle’s Academy] did have an evil witch, though, and her name was Ethel Hallow. in the Royal and Derngate’s production she’s played with chilling conviction by Rosie Abraham. Ethel is arrogant, competitive and ruthless. And she is no fan of Mildred Hubble.”
Long before Harry Potter there was Mildred Hubble. An ordinary girl who found herself in an extraordinary place: a school for witches. Now in her final year, accident prone Mildred and her fellow pupils are about to embark on their biggest adventure yet…
Jealous Ethel Hallow is always out to spoil Mildred’s fun. Miss Hardbroom is opposed to all fun in general. And just as Mildred sparks some inevitable mayhem certain to upset them both, an old enemy returns with a plan for revenge that could threaten not just the Academy, but the whole world.
