On this episode I talked with Morgan about when she figured out she wanted to be a theatre performer, how she has worked on becoming a well-rounded performer, why she consider herself an actress first, making her Broadway debut in Be More Chill where she understudied four different characters, her learning process for learning four different roles in the same show, why she thinks Be More Chill had/has such a huge fanbase, Moby Dick at A.R.T., why being a part of Moby Dick as Pip was so special to her and inspired her to name her dog Pip, Rachel Chavkin’s work, her audition process for the Hadestown tour, the building blocks along the way that help shows become successful, the process of making the character Eurydice her own for the Hadestown National tour, her dream role on stage, self confidence in the entertainment industry, and MORE!
