At the Magic Radio studio in London, laughter filled the rooms when Sydnie Christmas walked in dressed and acted like Cruella de Vil. She had just won Britain’s Got Talent and this was her playful way of celebrating her next big adventure, playing the famous Disney villain on the West End. Acting out her “inner Cruella,” Sydnie greeted people in an over-the-top way, opened the office fridge, and jokingly took an employee’s lunch as her own. Her confidence and humor showed why audiences loved her since her first audition.
The skit was part of a lighthearted visit to promote her upcoming musical 101 Dalmatians, where she plays Cruella at the Eventim Apollo, the very stage where her BGT journey began. In the short clip, she acted like a dramatic boss, made a funny fake phone call asking for a refund, and typed a teasing email to “Jonathan,” signing it as “Debbie from Accounts.” She even asked a coworker to bring her shoes before making a grand exit, shouting, “Bye, darlings!” It was a fun, tongue-in-cheek moment that showed how naturally Sydnie mixes comedy with character.
