Polly Allen

Polly was born in 2001, attends Lingfield Notre Dame and lives in Sussex with both parents, an older brother and pet dog! She has been performing since the age of 2 and trains in all types of dance, singing and acting. Following appearances in 3 professional Pantos as part of the children's ensemble, Polly was almost 10 when she successfully auditioned for her first West End role and made her debut as Keeley Gibson, in Billy Elliot, Victoria Palace. She later progressed to the slightly taller role of ballet girl, Angela Robson. After a small break Polly was lucky enough to be chosen as Veruca Salt, in the original cast of the Warner Brothers production of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, directed by Sam Mendes at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Following her success in Musical Theatre Polly was also keen to explore screen acting and was thrilled to be cast in the lead role of Sheila Ormsby, in CBBC's "Hetty Feather" (2015). The series was a great success and Polly was thrilled to be able to revisit the character with the second series of the period drama, which will be shown in 2016.
