The week will culminate on May 8th with one of Nina's idols, multiple Tony Award Winning Legend Glenn Close.

"My imagination was fueled by the musical theater, and since I was introduced to a nun singing in the hills of Austria when I was just a kid, I knew it was where I belonged." Said Nina West. "I knew I was a theater kid. And my love for the art and for Broadway has only grown. I am so thrilled and grateful to have these conversations with people who have inspired so many "With One Look", by letting it all go, seeing the magic of a wish come to life on stage, or becoming the People's Princess. These are great stories and I am grateful to talk to the people who bring them to life."
