"Rhiannon Drake accentuates the setting by her
evocative original songs in Welsh that enhance several scenes.”

"...a brilliant musical score written by Rhiannon Drake"

“The new musical scores brought a fresh feel to the musical genre…
Rhiannon Drake and Will Drake’s writing skills have excelled.”

“... follows in the footsteps of Six and, dare I say it, Hamilton… The case, overall, is argued brilliantly, without a contrived effort to put forward an ‘all men are useless’ assertion…

"Rhiannon Drake's sympathetic treatment... made the most of a very affecting piece."

"Highlights for me were the stunning performance of “Sunday Kind Of Love”, sung by Rhiannon Drake."
"One of the highlights of the show is a duet, performed by two nameless chorus actors... Drake and Tan sing beautifully."
Kate Bottriell, The Daily Info
"Rhiannon was excellent throughout our evening. She sounded great, played an array of brilliant tracks and was really flexible with our guests."
Encore Musicians Review
2023 was all about setting up Enchord, a musical theatre a cappella collective, with my brother,
Will Geraint Drake. Our debut single, a cover of 'Defying Gravity' was nominated for CARA
Award. After launching in September, we enjoyed a busy festive season, singing at
Leadenhall Market, Westfield and other private events.
In 2023, I was also lucky enough to sing in Sad Girl Shows'
'Here's To You, Harry Styles' concert at The Sevendials Playhouse.
I also got to perform several of my original songs at the Musical Theatre Network
nights at The Other Palace.
2022 mainly involved welcoming my baby girl, Clara Seren, into the world.
Whilst on maternity leave, I continued developing 'Reunited', a new musical that I have been writing with Will Maynard (Director/Writer). Songs from the show were played on the 'Sit In The Stalls' programme on Box Office Radio, and a showcase of songs and scenes from the show was presented at the Jermyn Street Theatre, with a fabulous West End cast.
