By: Matt Tamanini Nov. 02, 2014
On Monday, November 3, The Theater People Podcast welcomes celebrates Broadway debuts with actresses Margo Seibert (ROCKY THE MUSICAL) and Amber Iman (SOUL DOCTOR). Both actresses discuss landing leading roles for their first Broadway jobs.
In Margo's case, she was put through nine auditions--NINE--before landing the coveted role of Adrian in the multi-million dollar, highly anticipated musical. She discusses the pressure she felt, taking on a leadership role with her cast alongside star Andy Karl, and achieving her life dream of working with Stephen Ahrens and Lynn Flaherty, the show's famed writing and composting team.
In Amber's case, she was tapped to replace star India Arie just weeks before SOUL DOCTOR was set to open. She discusses the pressure to not only learn the role in short order, but of taking on the persona of a real life icon.
