Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 117 with English Bernhardt

On this episode I talked with English about her first introduction to theatre, how studying ballet at City Ballet in North Carolina helped her and still helps her when it comes to performing and singing, getting nominated for and participating in the Jimmy Awards in High School, the most valuable advice she received from guest mentors at The Jimmy Awards, getting the opportunity to workshop the Pasek/Paul/Levenson Project, now known as Dear Evan Hansen, booking the tour of If/Then and learning the ins and outs of tour life in 2015-2016, why If/Then is still a show that holds relevance, whether she knew going into audition for Mean Girls that she would be standing by for three lead roles: Cady, Janis, and Regina, her process for learning all three roles and how she made the roles her own, when she found out she’d be leading the tour as Cady and how her portrayal of Cady has changed over the years, her dream roles, and much more!
