“Marisha Wallace, was a marvel. Her powerful “And I Am Telling You” led to buckets of tears and even a mid-show standing ovation. And Londoners absolutely loathe standing ovations.”

“NOW PLAYING THE ROLE OF EFFIE WHITE (ALT) IN THE WEST END PRODUCTION OF DREAMGIRLS ”

“Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.”
-Joyce Meyer
#tb to Summers in Salzburg!

These beauties came to London for 24 hours just to see me in @dreamgirlsldn we were in the original cast of @aladdin Broadway together and they have seen the full glow up. I love you guys so much. Thank you so much for making a pit stop. #friends #love

I have noticed that there is far less representation of plus sized women in fashion in the UK. In the US there are so many brands for women with curves. Most places I go in London you mostly only see up to a size UK 16/18 which is like a US 10/12. Or if I am borrowing from a designer they only have the sample size available which limits what I can wear for events. .
.
.
Also the styles of the clothes for plus women are either matronly or not up with the trends of today. I think as fashionable women of size we need to make our voices heard. Our bodies are just as sexy and important as everyone else’s. We want clothes that fit and look good. We deserve that. If there are some UK brands that you like for the curvy ladies please at them in the comments. .

If you are a curvy fashionista representing post a pic and tag #amplesize because we are just as good as the sample size. Trying to find my tribe. #bodypositivity #londonfashionweek 🍋

Some stars are made...some are born.

Marisha Wallace was born and raised in a small town in North Carolina. But the small town never held down her big city dreams. At the age of five she took the stage performing her first solo at an Easter service where she forgot the words. Despite her mishap, she knew she had to perform for the rest of her life. Marisha went on to obtain a BFA Musical Theatre and Theatre Education at East Carolina University. It was there that she found a love for acting and dancing. From there she went on to perform in shows around the country and the world.

She got her big break starring in the break out role of Ado Annie in Oklahoma, where she recieved a Drammy Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

She went back to NYC to fulfill her dream of being on Broadway. She left Mormon and was cast in the original broadway company of the five-time Tony nominated musical Disney's Aladdin where she originated the role of the Fortune Teller.
