In the Holding Room Episode 2v Video

Episode Summary

Gabrielle Reid describes the 4- year process for getting into Hairspray on Broadway as well as getting into Beautiful: The Carol King Musical. I’m also going to give you a list of shows that you will probably fight me over, but they are the shows that were recorded live on stage, besides Hamilton, that you should be watching. Yes, 4 of them are Sondheim musicals, and just because you’re not a Sondheim fanatic doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch them and I’ll tell you why. Nicolette Hart is going to school you today on why studying something other than theater is going to help your career and why you shouldn’t bother asking Siri for answers.

Intro to this Episode

This week our “Performer Spotlight” segment features Gabrielle Reid. She has been seen in the National Tour of Happy Days and Mama Mia in Las Vegas. She was in the National Tour and Broadway Casts of Hairspray. She was also an original cast member of Beautiful: The Carol King Musical. You will also want to check her out in the 2020 movie Estella Scrooge: A Christmas Carol with a Twist.

My “Thank You 5" segment this week is about the shows, besides Hamilton, that were recorded live on stage that you should be watching.

“Professor’s Corner” features Broadway TV and Movie Alumni Nicolette Hart, but she is also an accomplished voice acting coach, teaching college audition prep, and is a certified Rock the Audition Coach.
