Laura Leo

Laura was such a talented human being. She had a huge personality, a smile you couldn’t help but catch and a laugh that was totally infectious.

Laura was an integral part of the Willenhall team. Vocally superhuman, she led her section with confidence, boldly singing for others to follow. In her own right, she was a lead vocalist in every sense, with a voice that could truly rock the world. Laura had recently landed the role of one of the Divas in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, a part perfectly suited to her incredible vocal talent. Willenhall could not have been happier for her.

Laura has been a member of Willenhall Musical Theatre Company for many years. She was a fantastic Mama Ogre in Shrek, a vital member of our chorus and dance troupe, a dedicated wardrobe mistress, and the supplier of the most wonderful costumes. Laura’s costumes were something truly special. She poured her heart and soul into everything she created, often crafting new pieces simply because she wanted her friends to shine on stage.

Laura, we will always miss the laughs, the smiles, and that unforgettable voice. It still feels as though you might walk through the door at any moment, ready to take measurements and provide footwear notes.

Laura’s passing was a total shock to everyone, a light extinguished way too early. Rest in peace dear Laura.
