From Stage to Screen and Back Again, PLL & BLUE BLOOD's Vanessa Ray's Musical Moments
by Matt Tamanini - Oct 31, 2015

Before joining the cast of soap opera AS THE WORLD TURNS, which jump-started her TV career, Vanessa starred in regional productions, national tours, and on Broadway in shows like FOOTLOOSE, SPELLING BEE, and HAIR. Along the way, she became friends with Broadway's favorite singing, dancing videographer Andrew Keenan-Bolger, whom we have to thank for a lot of these videos!
