Favorite Stories

BWW-Interview Cecilia Snow of SIX at Saenger Theatre - This musical empowers its female characters by giving them a voice and allowing them to tell their own stories. The queens take control of their narratives, highlighting their strengths, struggles and resilience. Their empowerment resonated with me as someone who appreciates stories of strong and independent women.
BWW-Interview Beln Moyano of HADESTOWN at Saenger Theatre - Before I loved theatre, I loved Greek mythology. This retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice set in a post-apocalyptic, blues-inspired world brings a fresh perspective. The musical weaves a captivating and unique narrative, drawing audiences in a similar way Orpheus draws in Hades.
BWW-Interview Lyndie Moe of RENT - What can I say other than RENT is one of my all-time favorite musicals, so it was a honor to speak with Maureen on the musical's legacy.
