Helen performed in choirs and musicals in her early years but took an extended hiatus from performing while playing mum (and stage mum). She returned to musical theatre in 2019, initially starting with set building and quickly moving on to performing as well once she decided that being on stage looked like too much fun to resist! Her involvement in set building was inspired by the memory of her late father George Wheadon who helped Therry behind the scenes in the 1960s – and helped by the fact she loves wielding power tools! Helen performed in Marie Clark Musical Theatre’s 2019 production of Once Upon A Mattress, Marie Clark Musical Theatre’s 2021 and 2022 productions of The Producers, The Met’s 2022 production of Hello Dolly.
