Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 144 with Amaya Braganza

On this episode I talked with Amaya about making her Broadway debut at age 10 as July in Annie, being a part of the prestegious Broadway cast of The King & I at Lincoln Center and soon after toured with The King & I, her singing group with her two sisters called The Braganza Sisters and how they came up with the idea to form a group, her audition process for Hadestown on tour where she is the second Filipino to play the part of Eurydice, seeing Eva as Eurdyice before being cast in the show and how seeing Eva in the show inspired her, walking on a turntable in the dark, making the character of Eurydice her own, the blue in Amaya’s Eurydice wig, dream roles she has, and much more!
