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 Lena Hall, who returns with her Obsessed series on April 9 (7pm ET), celebrating the band HEART. Songs will include Baracuda, Alone, What About Love, Magic Man, Heartless, Even It Up, and more. This bare and intimate show invites the audience to a private zoom room where they can participate, ask questions, or even request songs.

Why Heart? "I wrote a horrible musical with the music of Heart back in 2006," joked Lena. "I've always love their catalog and I don't know why I didn't think of them for the original series. Heart has been a huge part of my life."

Lena's virtual Obsessed series has given her not only a new way to perform, but a new way to connect with her fans. "I've been able to reach fans and patrons in ways that are very different from live shows. With live shows, when you're done, you go. Online, I can talk to them and get to know them! We've developed these fun relationships... it's become a community."

Lena's Zoom shows began in June of 2020 as a way to be creative and connect with fans, friends, and patrons. Now 9 months later they are better than ever. Her song request show Virtually Live had a long and successful run, selling out and bringing communities of people together from all over the world.

Lena Hall is a Tony Award winner and Grammy nominee who received widespread critical acclaim for her feature film debut as the title role in Becks (winner of the U.S. Fiction Award at the L.A. Film Festival). Following her Tony-winning Broadway run in Hedwig And The Angry Inch, Hall toured North America with Josh Groban on his Stages tour, and portrayed the dual starring roles of both Hedwig and Yitzhak in Hedwig and the Angry Inch in Los Angeles and San Francisco. She originated the role of Nicola in the Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots, and has been seen on HBO's Girls, Amazon Prime's Good Girls Revolt, and can be heard voicing the fan-favorite role of Countess Coloratura on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Hall starred opposite Marisa Tomei in Lincoln Center Theatre's How To Transcend A Happy Marriage. Hall's many solo musical revues played sold-out shows at the Legendary Café Carlyle and 54 Below and received rave reviews. Hall's 2018 passion project, Obsessed, paid tribute to her greatest musical inspirations with 12 EP releases that were accompanied by 54 music videos and a live concert tour. Hall stars as Miss Audrey in TNT's hit drama series Snowpiercer opposite Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs.
