Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 99 with Belén Moyano

On this episode I talked with Belén about when she knew she wanted to perform on stage, what the first show she ever saw live was, playing violin, accordion, and piano, how/if playing multiple musical instruments has helped her with theatre, advice she’d give to those from other countries where musical theatre isn’t as popular on how one can get involved with theatre, her off-broadway debut in Assistants The Musical, auditioning for Hadestown, the rehearsal process for the National Tour of Hadestown, bonding with her cast, and getting to see @hadestown on Broadway with the whole tour cast, learning how to walk on a turntable, harmonizing with the other fates, what makes Hadestown a special show, her dream role on stage, self confidence, and much more!

Belén Moyano (she/her)

Belén is a passionate, hilarious, empathetic artist hustling to create beauty, change hearts, and open doors. She's a New York City based actor, singer, musician, and activist invested in furthering diversity/equity/inclusion in theatre and the world around her.

As an advocate for immigrants and anti-racism efforts, Belén is grateful to be involved with artistic communities that share her passion. From organizing and singing in benefit concerts for organizations like Immigrant Families together, and participating in the development of new theatre works by BIPOC writers, to translating musical theatre songs into Spanish, she hopes her work will bring support and opportunities to marginalized communities. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, she most enjoys sharing colorful, meaningful stories about love, Latinos, and liberation.

As a theatre professional, Belén has performed Off-Broadway, in Regional Theatre premieres, and on the silver screen of the pandemic—Zoom. She's a proud recipient of Utah State University’s Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance and a mildly disgruntled member of Actors Equity Association.

Currently you can catch Belén as one of the FATES on the National Tour of Hadestown.
