In this episode, we were so excited to chat with Emily Whitley, who made the move to New York to pursue her Broadway dreams! Before her move, you may have seen her in local productions like “Head over Heels” at Actor’s Express.

You’ll get to hear all the nitty-gritty details about finding a place to live, earning income while still saving time to audition and train, as well as embarking on the search for an agent.

Emily’s determination, persistence, and resiliency during this process is something we know will inspire other Broadway hopefuls. We are grateful to Emily, who has agreed to keep up posted on her New York happenings so we can follow her journey. We know great things are in store!

In this episode, we have the pleasure of talking with performer Danny Crowe. Danny has appeared in many local and regional productions. He shares his own journey, as well as some really fantastic advice for Broadway hopefuls.

In addition to being a performer, Danny serves as an audition coach and shares with us some of the same wisdom he shares with his students. He recommends students begin building their rep books as soon as possible and gives some insight into what that should include.

Danny is also in the exciting place of having just moved to New York City to give it a shot. He has graciously agreed to allow us to follow his progress and experiences in this process. Break a leg, Danny! We can’t wait to hear about all of your successes!
