On this episode I talked with Lissa deGuzman about when she discovered she was passionate about theatre and performing, how her older brother inspired her growing up, the first show she was ever in, why she decide to go to Belmont University and her most valuable takeaway, her audition for the Aladdin tour, getting to tour the country doing what she loves with her brother, how many tracks she covered as a swing, learning all her tracks plus being prepared to understudy Jasmine, becoming the assistant dance captain for the Aladdin tour, getting bumped up to lead Jasmine on tour, making her Broadway debut in King Kong and why it was such a special experience, auditioning for Wicked and her reaction when she was told she’d be going on tour as Elphaba, vocal stamina while on the road singing Elphaba songs EIGHT TIMES a week, and much more!
