[edit] Biography
[edit] Early career
When Honeywell was young she went to dance school and gymnastics. She completed her education at Valley Comprehensive School in 1990[citation needed]. At 18 she got her first job as a contortionist. At 19 she moved to London after getting the part of a kitten in Cats, and from musical theatre moved into television.
[edit] Later career
Honeywell has acted in several leading children’s theatre productions including Peter Pan at Southend, Woking and Southampton, The 2005/06 CBEEBIES Live! National Arena Tour and The Fimbles National Tour 2006. She also appeared in Falstaff at the Royal Opera House, has played a wide range of characters in television dramas and commercials, and continues to do aerial work.[1]
Following a Noddy touring show Sarah-Jane claimed that badly fitting boots had caused ligament injury leaving her unable to wear ballet shoes or high heels. This led to a substantial out-of-court settlement from Children's Showtime Productions.[2]
Honeywell can be seen presenting the CBeebies 'On Air' segments.
