Anna O'Byrne, Australia's leading lady, will be joining Ramin on stage.  Anna was acclaimed for her portrayal of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, directed by Julie Andrews, for which she won a Helpmann Award.

Australian born and now based in London, Anna has established an international career spanning opera, theatre, concert, and film.  Anna was chosen by Andrew Lloyd Webber to create the role of Christine Daaé in the Australian production of Love Never Dies.  For this performance Anna was nominated for Sydney Theatre and Green Room Awards and the production was filmed and released in cinemas internationally by Universal Pictures.

Anna was then invited to make her West End debut as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera.  She created the role of Jenny Lind in Cameron Mackintosh’s Barnum, and followed this in Robert Allan Ackerman’s Strangers on a Train.  In 2015 Anna played Anne Egerman in A Little Night Music as part of the show’s 40th anniversary celebrations.  She debuted with English National Opera in their landmark production of Sweeney Todd.  Anna became the first actress to perform Christine in The Phantom of the Opera in Russia.  Anna then performed the role of Maria in West Side Story in Australia, before returning to the UK to star as Sarah Brown in Guys and Dolls.

Following Anna’s acclaimed success as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Anna starred as Laura in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White on London's West End.
