Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 148 with Jordan Dobson

On this episode I talked with Jordan about discusses his journey to becoming an actor, including his inspiration from watching conductors in shows like Wicked, his Broadway debut in West Side Story, how he became the standby for Tony, why he chooses to advocate for the normalization of having alternates and covers for roles on Broadway, working on the Maestro with Bradley Cooper and how his background in theater helped him adapt to screen acting, his experience playing Orpheus in Hadestown and his favorite song to perform, his role in the Neil Diamond musical, A Beautiful Noise, and how he arranged and sang the song "Shiloh" on the cast recording, working with Andrew Lloyd Webber on Bad Cinderella, the close-knit cast of the Bad Cinderella, meeting Audra McDonald, and much more!
