Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 46 with Jonalyn Saxer

On this episode I talked with Jonalyn about growing up in a family that was very into theatre, going to school for theatre at Syracuse University, what it takes to be a Broadway understudy or swing, her reaction when she found out she was making her Broadway debut in Bullets Over Broadway, her experience not only being in the ensemble of Mean Girls on Broadway, but also understudying Regina, Karen, and Cady, finding out she’d be lead Karen Smith on the Mean Girls tour, teaching dance lessons with Artists and Beyond and Broadway Plus, and MORE!
