Show Notes
Meet Julie Hanson, a local actor who has been in several Muny productions as well as on Broadway. We talk about how Julie prepares for an audition and she shares her craziest audition story – a good lesson about never knowing where an opportunity might lead. We discuss how Muny auditions differ, and what happens after you’re cast in a show. Julie offers audition advice and we wrap up with “three words that describe The Muny”.
“Just look at it as a chance to grow, and learn, and put yourself out there.” – Julie Hanson
