In November 2024, Issie Lamberton successfully auditioned to join Glasgow Academy of Musical Theatre Arts (GAMTA) for their production of Matilda the Musical Jr. Issie aspires to study Musical Theatre when she leaves school and was overjoyed to learn that she had been given the opportunity to be part of a professional Musical Theatre production.

Rehearsals are well underway, and Issie is thrilled to have been cast as one of the main dancers—her dream role. She has also been asked to perform in every show, twice per day, for one week. This is an incredible opportunity!

Alongside Matilda, Issie continues to train three times per week for the Highland Dance Championships, and she plans to jump straight back into competing once the final curtain has fallen.
