By: Backstage With Richard Ridge May. 30, 2021
Seeing your favorite Broadway stars live on a Broadway stage may not be a reality for a while, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them live from your screen. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge is keeping up with all of their latest projects on Backstage Live, bringing you in-depth interviews twice weekly.
Watch as he chats with Broadway favorite George Salazar, who will soon join Seth Rudetsky for two very special concerts on Sunday, May 30 (3pm and 8pm).
"Seth just said to sing whatever I want to sing! So I'll be singing songs that got me into theatre- like the songs that I obsessed over back in high school," explained Salazar. "I'm singing songs that I sing in the shower! I'm singing songs that are most private to me, I guess. They are songs that I sing when no one is around kinda shamelessly... over and over again."
"I was actually running through the setlist with my boyfriend last night and he was like, 'George... this is a lot of ballads and they're all kinda dark and sad...' and I was like, 'Oh, well!'"
