Interview: From Dancing Queen to Opera Diva, Judy McLane Opens Up About MAMMA MIA, Maria Callas, and Theatre Raleigh's MASTER CLASS ImageThis week, Judy McLane steps into Maria Callas' shoes for the opening of the Theatre Raleigh production MASTER CLASS.

MASTER CLASS is about opera singer Maria Callas as she teaches a fictional master class at Julliard towards the end of her life. Written by Terrence McNally, the play opened on Broadway in 1995 and won two Tony Awards.

McLane, who is best known for her work in the Broadway production of MAMMA MIA, trained as a classical singer and says she is no stranger to Callas' work. She sat down with me to talk about Maria Callas, MAMMA MIA, and more.

MASTER CLASS runs August 8 - 19 at The Kennedy Theatre at The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts. For more information visit, www.theatreraleigh.com.
