How to Succeed In Theater (by sacrificing everything)
09/25/23 • 41 min
Today’s guest is Chloe Nadon-Enriquez, coming at us straight off of Broadway’s Bad Cinderella. I caught her while she was in New York, just before flying back to close the And Peggy tour of Hamilton, where she was a swing for a couple years just after graduating from Northwestern. Chloe is not only super talented, she is also SMART - she has a degree in Neuroscience, and ran a fruit fly lab during the COVID shut down. In this episode, we discuss her chaotic audition and final callback for Bad Cinderella, what it’s like to transition after a show closes, her process for nailing it as a swing, and other fun stories from tour and that unpredictable life of working in theater.
