“It's a crazy soprano, and singing as a man as a woman. But for many years, I was on the road in Chicago as Mary Sunshine, so I can do that. I didn't think there was any way I was going to get it - it was so far out of my comfort-zone.” ThinkingMenWayYearsI CanCan DoCrazyComfortSingingZoneSunshineChicagoMaryComfort ZoneSopranos Author:Max von Essen
“For instance, my friend would never go on the show to air her dirty-laundry. But Tremont is outrageous! I've been watching a lot of clips of "The Jerry Springer Show" on YouTube (I can't tell you how many clips there are!) I get to witness these men going through the process to become women and what they're sharing. My character is pre-op. She's had the breast augmentation but still got "the goods" down there.” MenStillsI CanCharacterShowsProcessAirGoes OnMy FriendsInstanceWitnessDirtyBreastsGoodsYoutubeOutrageousJerryLaundryClipDirty LaundryJerry Springer Show Author:Max von Essen
“I've worked with Emily Skinner and I've seen Linda Balgord's work. I saw Harvey Keitel at the call-backs. But generally I don't know many people. They're not only good performers; they're really good singers! This show is for people who have more of a history in reading music. From what I already know about the ensemble, it's going to be great. And I can't wait to meet the rest of them. They're the real deal.” PeopleKnowsI CanRealShowsReadingWaitingDealsSawsSingersPerformersEmilyEnsembleHarveySkinnerReading Music Author:Max von Essen
“I want to get a handle on the music. There's only so much you can do alone. I want everyone else there. I can't wait until we feel we've got it down and we can really figure out what it's all about! I can't wait to meet Harvey Keitel, too! I'm so used to working with musical theatre people... I'm really curious how he works. He's the only one that doesn't sing in the show - he acts and weaves himself through the show as the ring-master. I hope I learn something from him.” PeopleWantFeelsI CanShowsUsedWaitingCan DoFiguresMastersDown AndMusicalTheatreRingsHandleCuriousHarveyMusical Theatre Author:Max von Essen
