Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 140 with Jordan Litz

On this episode I talked with Jordan about the path that lead him to musical theatre, the first show he saw as an audience member, being a competitive swimmer at Fresno Pacific University, making it to the 2012 Olympic Trials, how having the mentality of an athlete has helped in theatre, his favorite regional theatre show he’s been in, learning to play the guitar when he starred as Captain von Trapp in Fresno Pacific University’s production of The Sound Of Music, performing at shows in Walt Disney World, his audition process for the National Tour of Wicked, getting to be part of the cast that reopened Wicked post-pandemic in Dallas, how watching Curt Hansen’s performance as Fiyero ultimately inspired him, navigating tour life, making his Broadway debut in Wicked as Fiyero, Broadway vs. Tour audiences, his dream roles, his interactions with Norm Lewis, and much more!
