Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 82 with Ali Ewoldt

On this episode I talked with Ali about when she knew she wanted to have a career in theatre, why she fell in with theatre when she saw her first theatre show ‘A Chorus Line’ live as an audience member, why she decided to go to Yale University and study psychology instead of auditioning for a musical theatre program, how studying psychology helped her better understand the characters she’s played in different shows over the years since, her experience working at Disneyland, her Broadway debut as Cosette in Les Miserables and her previous experience on the Les Miserables National Tour, playing Maria in West Side Story on an International Tour, the different countries she had the opportunity to explore while on tour with West Side Story, her journey auditioning for Christine in Phantom Of The Opera on Broadway, how she makes iconic characters she’s played on stage like Cosette, Maria, Tuptim, and Christine her own, how she works on vocal control and vocal stamina, her current theatre bucket list, how she’s stayed busy over the past year, and MUCH MORE!
