SHE’S the youngest curtain caller in the county!

Little Mabel Mulcare, aged just three weeks, is following her mother Sarah as she treads the boards as Morticia in Music Theatre South’s version of The Addams Family.

Mabel has been ever present at rehearsals both before and after her overdue arrival into the world last month.

Sarah, from Whiteley, also mum to Nellie, who will be two later this month, told Your Entertainment: “I was pregnant all through the run of White Christmas and when the director told me he would have had me as his Morticia in The Addams Family if the timing were different, it got me thinking whether I could actually do it.

“I was just thinking of the part and how amazing it would be to play Morticia. My husband Tim and mum (Sue Jordan) have been really supportive and, although it’s been a bit frantic, I’m loving being involved in it.”

Members of the cast and crew had even learned first aid in case Sarah needed a helping hand if she went into labour as she rehearsed for the show.

She returned three days after having Mabel to perfect a big lift and Tango number that had been impossible in the late stages of her pregnancy with her little girl sleeping right through the rehearsal.

The Addams Family, the musical version of the tale of the weird and wonderful family, opened last night at The Hub Theatre at Southampton City College and runs until Saturday.
