On this episode I talked with Leana about going to military school for six years, joining a dance conservatory during her sophomore year of school which led her to audition for a production of Hairspray and falling in love with the feeling of being on stage, becoming a well-rounded performer, the first theatre show she ever saw, workshopping the world premiere Rattlesnake Kate at Denver Center for Performing Arts, getting to share a story that takes place in Colorado on stage in Colorado and how audiences reacted, the music in Rattlesnake Kate written by Neyla Pekarek, workshopping Romy and Michele where she played Michele, how she thinks not being familiar with Romy and Michele helped her play the part of Michele during the workshop process of the show, her audition for Merrily We Roll Alone and finding out she booked the New York Theatre Workshop engagement, learning who her costars were for the show and stepping into the rehearsal room for both the NYTW production and the now Broadway production of the show, the camaraderie the cast has, learning she’d be making her Broadway debut with the show, why people should come see Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway, and MUCH MORE!
