Jenny Galloway (born 1959) is a British actress, and singer best known for her stage career.
Theatre credits include:
She has received numerous awards and nominations, winning the 1999 Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for her performance in Mamma Mia!.
Galloway can be heard on the cast recordings of Les Misérables, Oliver!, Mamma Mia! and Mary Poppins.
Film credits include In Transit, About a Boy, Fierce Creatures and the role of the Foreign Secretary in Johnny English. She appeared in Madame de Sade alongside Judi Dench and Deborah Findlay as Charlotte in 2008.
In what was probably her largest television role, Galloway had a principal role in the fifth series episode of Marple The Pale Horse alongside Julia McKenzie. Her role was Bella Ellis - the town's local witch and cook to Thyrza Grey, (played by Pauline Collins) - who are considered prime suspects at many points during the episode. The episode aired as the first part of the fifth series in the UK in August 2010, for some reason before the fourth series had finished airing.
She is also reprised her role as Madame Thénardier in the 2010 25th anniversary concert of Les Misérables at the O2 arena, London in October 2010. This concert is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. She was briefly reunited with her former co-star Alun Armstrong at the end of the performance when he appeared alongside the rest of the original cast of the musical for the finale. She and Armstrong had appeared as the Thénardiers in the 10th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Jenny worked at the Watermill Theatre, Bekshire in 1982, returning periodically, to assist stage management, drive the van, and lead sing-alongs.
