Charlotte Wakefield is a twice Laurence Olivier Award nominated British Actress who receives critical acclaim for her work on stage and screen. Her acting career began at just 10 years old when she starred as May in the British film An Angel For May. Since then she has worked consistently in television where she is best known for her performance as Holly Cullen in the BBC hospital drama Holby City.

Charlotte's stage career is equally impressive. In 2008, she was cast in her first West End show where she starred as Wendla Bergman in the Tony Award winning Musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening. She received huge critical acclaim and went on to receive her first Laurence Olivier Awards Nomination for "Best Actress In A Musical" aged 19.

Since then she has worked extensively in London's West End as well as regionally, including working under the direction of Roxana Silbert for the Royal Shakespeare Company and starring as Sophie in both the International Tour and West End productions of Mamma Mia!

In 2013, Charlotte starred as Maria Rayner in the Regents Park Open Air Theatre production of The Sound Of Music, again, receiving huge critical acclaim. For her performance, she was nominated for her second Laurence Olivier Award for "Best Actress In A Musical". She was also nominated in the same category at the Evening Standard Awards.

She continues to build her career on stage and screen.

Charlotte was a finalist in the national talent contest &quot;Britain&#39;s Brilliant Prodigies&quot; which was televised in the early 00&#39;s.

In 2005, Charlotte decided to put her acting career on hold to take her GCSE exams. With her role in &quot;The Royal&quot; (filmed in 2007), her career successfully resumed.

Charlotte originated the role of Wendla Bergman in the London production of the hit Broadway musical &quot;Spring Awakening&quot;.
