BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN A NEW EPISODE DROPS!
On this episode I talked with Grant Reynolds about when he knew he wanted to be a theatre performer, the first professional theatre show he saw, his favorite style of dance, why he chose to study at Carnegie Melon University and what his greatest takeaway there was, why he likes being in shows that challenge traditional theatre, performing at The Muny, his audition process for Sky in Mamma Mia, how quickly the cast managed to bond during rehearsal and how that bond strengthens their performance on stage, his favorite ABBA song, why theatre fans should come see Mamma Mia in a city near them, his Broadway bucket list, and much more!

Grant is currently on tour with the North American cast of Mamma Mia where he plays Sky.
Born and raised in the small village of Oak Park Chicago, Grant has spent the majority of his life trying to find something to cultivate his larger than life personality. The product of a healthcare professional and an architect, Grant has always had an inherent love for learning and research, but it wasn’t until one day when a late pick up from school turned into an audition for the sixth grade musical “Pirates of Penzance.” The rest is history.
A very strong actor, singer and dancer, Grant is most attracted to work that provokes thought, action, and ignites change. He enjoys working on pieces that challenge the traditional paradigm of theatre by centering it around universal issues such as social justice and civil rights. When Grant isn’t performing he’s bird watching, gardening, songwriting and cooking for his friends and family.
