SINGAPORE – Scoring a lead role in My Neighbour Totoro for her West End debut is a major coup for Singaporean actress Victoria Chen, but the cherry on top of the cake is that she is joined by three other Singaporeans – on stage and backstage.
“We’re a tiny little country and we’re crushing it internationally now. To have four of us on this West End production reaffirms my belief that we have so much talent,” says Chen, who plays four-year-old Mei and declines to reveal her age. She graduated from the School of the Arts (Sota) in 2012.
