Based on the Nick Hornby book and directed by Kristen Twynam-Perkins at Roleystone Theatre, the show explores love, life and the importance music plays as the soundtrack to both.
The story follows Rob Gordon, a Brooklyn record shop owner in his 30s who is obsessed with making top five lists for everything and always observing, rather than participating in, life.
When his girlfriend Laura leaves him, he goes through a painful re-evaluation of his life and lost loves – with some help from his music – and slowly learns he has to let go of his self-centred world view before he can find real happiness.

Natalie plays Sarah Kendrew, one of Rob’s ex-girlfriends.

“Sarah is the token gay in the show but she still has a flair of sexy that made Rob come after her on the rebound from another ex.
“Sarah isn’t as girly as the other ex-girlfriends so the challenge is staying true to her personality as slightly masculine while still fitting in with the alluring dancing and choreography.”
