A Musical Evening with Sharon Sexton
We are thrilled to welcome home West End leading lady and award-winning performer Sharon Sexton, originally from Naas and a proud past pupil of St Mary’s College. Sharon returns for her first ever solo concert on this stage since she last appeared here as Liza Minnelli in 2011 and in Girls’ Night – The Musical in 2012.
Sharon first discovered her love of the stage with the Naas Musical Society, joining as a junior member when it opened its doors in 1996. Even then, she quickly rose to prominence as a standout young performer. She later continued her training at the DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama in Dublin before heading to the UK in 2012 to join the original West End cast of Roddy Doyle’s The Commitments at the Palace Theatre.
Since then, Sharon’s career has soared. She has become a familiar face on the West End stage, most celebrated for originating the role of Sloane in Bat Out of Hell, working directly with Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. The show toured internationally, playing to packed arenas across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Germany, before completing a major UK tour. Dublin audiences will remember its celebrated run at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, where Sharon also won rave reviews when she starred in the international production of Mamma Mia! (2019) as Donna.
Her extensive credits include leading roles such as A Night with Janis Joplin in London’s West End, working with Elton John on Billy Elliot the Musical, and most recently portraying Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar in Germany with the Bergisch Symphonic Orchestra.
She has toured the UK as a solosit with ABBA Symphonic, and the hit show Defying Gravity, and also had a run of sold out headline concerts the infamous, Crazy Coqs venue, in Piccadilly Circus, London, where she recently launched her first debut album with her on and offstage partner, Rob Fowler.
This special homecoming concert promises an eclectic mix of musical theatre favourites from Sharon’s acclaimed career, deep cuts from her personal archive, and songs she dreams of performing in the future. Between numbers, Sharon will share stories, memories, and reflections from her remarkable journey—from Naas to the West End and far beyond.
It is set to be a joyous, heartfelt evening, especially for those who have supported her from the beginning. Sharon is immensely proud of her Irish roots, and she is delighted to return home to celebrate them with you.
A perfect night for musical theatre lovers—and an unmissable one-off concert with one of Ireland’s brightest stars.
"It’s Sharon Sexton, the Irish performer who plays Raven’s mother, Sloane, who you won’t be able to ignore. Onstage, she’s by far the most successful at translating the barely-there script into lines with personality and wit, and her vocal tone is stunning – you believe her and champion her. Her voice, trained for the stage, soars in an arena"
