Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 105 with Charlie Franklin

On this episode I talked with Charlie about the moment he knew he wanted to be a theatre performer, how he became a well-rounded performer while growing up, getting to be Dickens in his dream show “The Secret Garden”, auditioning for and booking his first Broadway show, Bridges Of Madison County, while still in college, what being part of the rehearsal process as an original Broadway cast member is like, the day he made his Broadway debut in Bridges of Madison County, getting cast in Book of Mormon on Broadway and whether he was a fan before auditioning for it, why Book of Mormon is as popular as it is on Broadway, his audition process for Tina, what he learned about Tina’s life while reading the script during the rehearsal process that he found most fascinating, how he has gone about making a real life person, Roger Davies, his own, why theatre fans should come see Tina on Broadway, how he works on self confidence, and MORE!
