In a recent clip from the 101 Dalmatians musical at London\u2019s Eventim Apollo, Sydnie steps into the flashy shoes of Cruella de Vil and it\u2019s clear she\u2019s having the time of her life. With dramatic flair and a knowing smirk, she brings the villain to life in a way that\u2019s fun, over-the-top, and totally unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this role so exciting is how different it is from what most people have seen from her. Sydnie, now 30, has already sung for royalty, released an album, and wowed the world on Britain\u2019s Got Talent. But playing Cruella? That\u2019s something new. It\u2019s playful, theatrical, and packed with personality. Plus, the real puppies and clever puppets on stage make it even more fun. The show is family-friendly, but Sydnie adds just enough edge to make Cruella her own.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sydnie Christmas is Cruella De Vil!<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"\" data-id=\"Mw4FJSczN7k\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"Sydnie Christmas is Cruella De Vil!\">\n<div data-id=\"Mw4FJSczN7k\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-src=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Mw4FJSczN7k\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Sydnie Christmas is Cruella De Vil!\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><button class=\"play\" aria-label=\"play Youtube video\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Fans say it\u2019s incredible to see how far she\u2019s come and how easily she switches between being heartfelt and hilarious. In interviews, Sydnie noted she loved diving into a \u201cvillain role\u201d for once, and it shows. Cruella might be the bad guy, but in Sydnie\u2019s hands, she steals the show in the best way possible.<\/p>\n<p>But long before she was Cruella, Sydnie was already singing songs about power and freedom. In a 2018 video from a cruise ship stage, she sings Defying Gravity from Wicked, and you can tell something special is happening. Her voice is bold and clear, rising higher with every note. The song is about breaking free, letting go of fear and becoming who you\u2019re meant to be. Watching her perform it, you believe every word.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><span class=\"ctaText\">RELATED:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"postTitle\">Behind the Scenes with Sydnie Christmas: Cruella\u2019s Strong Attitude Meets Sweet Moments with a Puppy<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defying Gravity \u2013 Sydnie Christmas<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KeDntpwpETU\" data-id=\"KeDntpwpETU\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"Defying Gravity - Sydnie Christmas\">\n<div data-id=\"KeDntpwpETU\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KeDntpwpETU\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/KeDntpwpETU\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Defying Gravity - Sydnie Christmas\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><button class=\"play\" aria-label=\"play Youtube video\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>As the final note echoes, the crowd cheers and it\u2019s easy to see why.
