Grease Is The Word: Danny Bayne & Susan McFadden
Danny and Susan were paired up together by the Judges on the final day of Bootcamp. Danny obviously has a little twinkle in his eye for Susan, but being five years her junior will he win her over with his boyish charms or will she just see him as a kid brother?
Danny by name but is he Danny by nature? Danny Bayne, 19 from Kent thinks he has the all-round performance skill and quality to be Danny at the West End.
During his first audition David Ian was impressed with the young performer saying he had it all and David guest commented that Danny had a ‘John Travolta like quality.’
“I’ve always loved Grease, it’s a classic. So, when I heard there were open auditions I was there in a flash,” says Danny.
“I just want to go out on that stage in front of all the viewers and do my thing. Hopefully people will like it,” he adds.
Hoping to be the one the viewers want, is Susan McFadden, 24 from London.
Stepping out of the shadow of her brother Brian, who was formally of the pop group Westlife, Susan hopes to realise her dream of being on the West End stage.
“Sandy absolutely is my dream job and to play her in the West End would just be out of this world,” says Susan.
“People have this perception that because I have a famous brother that it would inevitably get me to a point where I want to be famous, but that just simply isn’t the way things are. I hope that the public will see this when they watch the show.”
