Broadway and Other Kiwi Dreams

Kristian Lavercombe is an actor, singer and photographer. He is probably most well known for holding the world record for most performances in the Rocky Horror Show at around 1800 performances and counting. Listen in to hear how an introvert can become one of the biggest characters in theatre history. We get a glimpse into what it's like to play a freak of nature in Frankie Valli. And of course, Kristian recounts his experiences touring with Rocky creator himself, Richard o'Brien.
