“When I was younger, in my living room, I used to put 'Cats' the stage ...” — Francesca Hayward Quote

“When I was younger, in my living room, I used to put 'Cats' the stage musical video on and I used to copy Victoria.”

“I love fashion. It's actually - after ballet - my favourite thing since I was little.”

“I definitely have been nervous, but often I get more nervous performing with the corps de ballet than doing a solo. There's so much pressure doing a group number because if you muck it up, you've ruined it for everyone.”

“My favorite thing to pass the time in the makeup chair is YouTube videos of talking cats. I don't know why, but they make me laugh.”

“I can do a really good animal impression! I'm great at ducks, cats, dogs, and occasionally dolphins.”

“I grew up with a menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils - not to mention three younger siblings.”
