Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 71 with Anthony Festa

On this episode I talked with Anthony Festa about the moment he had to choose between sports and theatre and why he chose theatre, the moment he realized he could sing and that he could make a career out of performing on stage, why he chose to study theatre at Cortland State University, his first professional audition, going on tour in Europe as Tony in West Side Story, what international audiences are like, his audition experience for Wicked, prior dance experience that helped him when it came to dancing in the ensemble in Wicked, understudying Fiyero and putting his own spin on the character, his recent experience touring with Miss Saigon, how getting the opportunity to travel to Vietnam helped him dive into Chris’ world, advice he has for performers in the theatre industry, and MUCH MORE!
