Marisha Wallace - Broadway and West End star - chooses the Tracks of My Years. Born in North Carolina, USA, Marisha first appeared in the original Broadway casts of 'Aladdin' and 'Something Rotten' as a member of the ensemble and understudy. In January 2017 she became an alternate Effie White in the West End production of 'Dreamgirls'. Following the departure of Amber Riley from the production, Marisha took over the role, sharing with Karen Mav and Moya Angela. That same year she released her Christmas album 'Soul Holiday' and in 2019 she joined the original London cast of 'Waitress' as Becky. This summer she will be starring in the London Coliseum production of 'Hairspray' as Motormouth Maybelle opposite Michael Ball.

Marisha's debut album 'Tomorrow' was released at the end of last year and in January she performed in our first House Music session of 2021 accompanied by the 91热爆 Concert Orchestra. Her magnificent renditions of 'Before I Go' and 'Tomorrow' can still be found on the 91热爆 Music Youtube Channel.

Marisha was also on the panel of experts who helped whittle down 100 years of classic musical songs to a shortlist of of 50 for Radio 2's Greatest Song From a Musical Vote earlier this year.
