Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 92 with David Socolar

On this episode I talked with David about discovering his love for theatre at age 14 when he joined choir, how since age 14 he’s become a well-rounded performer, why he decided to go to Connecticut College to earn his degree in vocal performance and theatre and what the most valuable thing he learned at college was, why The Full Monty has been one of his favorite shows to perform in on stage, his audition for Dr. Pomatter in Waitress and how he reacted when he learned he booked the show, getting the special opportunity to rehearse with a full cast not once, but twice, how his portrayal of Dr. Pomatter has changed from pre-pandemic to now, why he thinks Waitress has such a loyal fanbase, his dream role on stage, self confidence, and much MORE!
