Fresh from her runs as Elphaba and Fantine, Lucie Jones is preparing to play two solo concerts at Cadogan Hall in May.

Lucie is renowned for her solo shows; in recent years she has performed solo concerts at the Adelphi Theatre and His Majesty’s Theatre in the West End as well as on tour with the 50-piece Fulltone Orchestra.

Lucie has also launched the Lucie Jones Academy and is busy teaching workshops alongside industry friends across the UK and beyond.

Lucie burst on to our screens in the 2009 series of The X Factor (ITV) and has gone on to become one of the most renowned leading ladies in British musical theatre. She made her West End debut as Cosette in Les Misérables and went on to play roles including Meat in We Will Rock You (International Arena Tour), Victoria in American Psycho (Almedia Theatre), Molly in Ghost (Asian Tour), Elle Woods in Legally Blonde (Leicester Curve & UK Tour), Holly in The Wedding Singer (UK Tour), Maureen in Rent (St James Theatre & UK Tour), Lou in Girlfriends (LMTO), Heidi in Title Of Show (Digital Production) and The Ghost Of Christmas Past in A Christmas Carol (Dominion Theatre).

Lucie had an acclaimed run as Jenna in Waitress (Adelphi Theatre / UK & Ireland Tour). Her most recent credits include starring as Elphaba in Wicked (Apollo Victoria Theatre) and Fantine in Les Misérables (Sondheim Theatre). Lucie also recently starred in the workshop of 13 Going On 30, the staged concert of Super You (Lyric Theatre) and is about to play Catherine in the Pippin 50th Anniversary Concert (Theatre Royal Drury Lane).

Lucie represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2017 and released the album Lucie Jones Live At The Adelphi in 2020.

Marking her third time In The Frame, in this episode we rewind to Lucie's early days post X Factor and how she took control of her career early on. Lucie also discusses her final Elphaba show, her run as Fantine, hustle culture and the friends she has picked up throughout her career...and so much more!
