BERNADETTE
The young star of the musical “Bernadette” put on a brave smile yesterday, her last day as a star in London’s West End. Sixteen-year-old Natalie Wright said, “I’m terribly sad that the show has closed after only three weeks. But last night I told myself to go out and enjoy the final performance.”
Although there were some tears at the theatre last night, Natalie knows she is on the way to being a star. Reviewers didn’t like the show but they had only good things to say about Natalie’s performance.
Yesterday Natalie talked to fans, signed autographs outside the stage door and then joined the other actors for the last performance of the show. Natalie’s mother, who was in the audience last night, said the family always knew that Natalie would be a success, right from her first appearance on stage at the age of five. Natalie’s mother has stayed in London with her daughter during the last three weeks. She said she was looking forward to going home but would be back when Natalie was offered the next part.
