Sydnie Christmas, Britain’s Got Talent winner and West End sensation, left audiences mesmerized at the Liverpool Philharmonic on February 16, 2025, delivering a goosebump-inducing performance of “The Impossible Dream.”
Sharing the stage with a choir, Christmas transformed the classic into a stirring, soul-stirring experience, earning praise as “the most talented and uniquely beautiful female from BGT.”
Fans and critics alike were in awe of her ability to breathe new life into a song that has been covered countless times. “She takes these songs … and makes them sound new. She makes us hear them in a different way,” one admirer wrote online, while another added, “ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL, the emotions Sydnie puts into this song is STUNNING. WOW WOW.”
Christmas’ artistry goes beyond her vocal prowess. Commentators have lauded her as a consummate performer, blending technical skill with emotional depth: “That is a master class in how to move a note through various positions to create layers of tone … She’s not just a singer… she’s a performer.”
Her rise to stardom began with BGT, but Christmas has since conquered the West End, notably thrilling audiences as Cruella De Vil. She now sets her sights on new challenges, revealing ambitions to take on the iconic role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret:
“It’s an actor’s dream to play something which is the opposite of what you actually are. And so Cruella was really fun to sink my teeth into,” she said.
“A lot of my dream roles probably won’t come back on the West End… but something I would really love to do is Cabaret. I would just love to try my hand at a Sally Bowles.”
Alongside her theatrical pursuits, Christmas is channeling her creativity into original music. “I’ve been writing songs since I was 14,” she revealed. “So it’s nice to approach songwriting as an adult … it’s different to what people have heard from me. People have heard me sing classics, so naturally it’s definitely going to be different.”
Before taking on Sally Bowles, Christmas will headline in Don Black’s upcoming West End revue, From The Heart, at the Fortune Theatre starting October 26, with a return engagement on November 2. The Kent-born star promises a showcase of legendary lyricist Don Black’s catalogue, along with the works of his celebrated collaborators.
With her commanding voice, magnetic stage presence, and bold artistic vision, Sydnie Christmas continues to redefine what it means to be a modern diva — captivating audiences, honoring the classics, and forging her own path in music and theatre.
