The Theater People Podcast Welcomes AMERICAN PSYCHO's Jennifer Damiano

On Monday, June 6, the Theater People podcast welcomes Tony nominee Jennifer Damiano.

She made her Broadway debut at the age of 15 in the groundbreaking and Tony Award-winning musical SPRING AWAKENING. She went on to originate the role of Natalie in the Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt musical NEXT TO NORMAL, for which she earned a Tony Award nomination.

Next, she played Mary Jane Watson in the original cast of the Broadway mega-musical SPIDERMAN: TURN OFF THE DARK. She was most recently seen on Broadway as Jean in this season's AMERICAN PSYCHO, a show that struggled to find an audience and closed yesterday.

For the episode, Damiano discusses the challenges of being a child actor on Broadway and growing up in the role of Natalie in NEXT TO NORMAL. She also gives an insider's perspective about working on the infamously difficult SPIDERMAN, and talks about reuniting with friends Alice Ripley and Duncan Sheik for AMERICAN PSYCHO.
