On this episode I talked with DJ about what made him want to be a theatre performer and when he realized he could make a career out of it, what the first show he ever saw was, the regional roles he tackled as a kid which helped him to become a well rounded theatre performer, why he chose to study musical theatre at University of Cincinatti and what the most valuable lesson he learned there was, what makes regional theatre productions worldwide so special, getting to perform as Flounder in The Little Mermaid and why playing Flounder has been one of his favorite roles to play, his audition for the Wicked tour, the casting process, his reaction when he was told he’d be playing Boq on the tour, working on staying healthy and keeping up stamina while on the road, what he thinks makes Wicked such a popular (pun intended) show, his dream roles, and MUCH MORE!
