Kelli O'Hara (part 1)- Tony Award winner, Emmy and Grammy-nominated actress Kelli O'Hara has established herself as one of Broadway's greatest leading ladies. It’s her perspective on life, art, craft, and the importance of curiosity and discomfort that keeps her going in the biz.
Find out how her determination and initial lack of awareness helped her succeed!
Did she really have the audacity to crash an audition? Who was that mysterious man who played the piano for her? How does a sassy joke in the audition room lead to a starring role? And what seed planted 21 years ago bore fruit just this past year... and this coming Broadway season?
My two-part episode with Kelli will leave you asking yourself, “What am I, rather than what am I not?” and inspire you to, “Wake up, get up, and show up!”
