On this episode, I talked with Justin about what he’s been up to during quarantine, where his love for musical theatre stemmed from, going to University of Central Florida to study musical theatre, how his college experience helped his career skyrocket, when he made his Broadway debut, how difficult the jobs that swings and understudies have are, the pressure involved with playing an iconic character such as Drew in Rock Of Ages on Broadway, getting cast as Peter Parker in Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark on Broadway, his collection of comic books and action figures that he owned growing up, how he stepped into the shoes of a character he was a fan of growing up and put his own spin on the character, working with Andrew Lloyd Webber during NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar how he’s trained his rock voice and simultaneously kept it healthy, his dream roles, Broadway singing secrets, and MUCH MORE!
