Natalie Bassingthwaighte knows a thing or two about reinvention. She’s done it multiple times in her career. Musical theatre performer. Singer. Actor. Television host. Reality TV star. She’s done it in her personal life, too. Sixteen months ago, Natalie joined Sarrah for an exclusive chat on the Stellar podcast, where she revealed for the first time that she had found new love with a woman. Now Natalie is back in the studio to reflect on what her life has looked like since: from navigating co-parenting on her own terms to basking in the glow of her relationship with her new partner and even starting to write her memoir. And as she looks ahead to her 50th birthday this September, Natalie explains why she wants to keep challenging herself by tackling things she’s never done before – like her current one-woman show Shirley Valentine. Listen to our previous interview with Natalie here Shirley Valentine is on at the Canberra Theatre Centre from March 19-23, and will open at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide on April 1 for eight performances only.
