Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 96 with Phoenix Best

On this episode, I talked with Phoenix about when she realized she wanted to be a theatre performer, the moment she realized she had the talent to make performing in theatre a career, why Annie made her fall in love with theatre, how she worked on and still works on becoming a well-rounded theatre performer, making her Broadway debut in The Color Purple where she was not only a swing, but also the assistant stage manager, how she prepared to learn the tracks she was covering in The Color Purple, the day she made her Broadway debut, her audition process for Eponine on the National Tour of Les Miserables, how she prepared to live on the road when she learned she got cast on the Les Mis tour, whether she’s more of an Eponine or Cosette in real life, auditioning for Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway and whether she realized at the time of her audition how popular the show had become, how Phoenix prepared to step into the shoes of a 3-Dimensional character like Alana Beck in Dear Evan Hansen for the first time, ART’s Macbeth In Stride, and MUCH MORE!
