Meet Francesca Hayward, the Principal Ballerina Who's Playing Victoria in Cats

After realizing her dream of dancing in The Nutcracker in 2018, Hayward wrote on Instagram, "Second & last show of Sugar Plum tonight. Obviously a huge thank you to my prince @acampbell_1 but a special thank you to my coach Lesley Collier. Lesley was the first Sugar Plum I ever watched (on a video of The Royal Ballet's Nutcracker [sic]) when I was two years old so I can't believe she taught me this role and rehearses [sic] me for my performances of it".
