Episode 32 | Linedy Genao: ”Banking to Broadway”

Your favorite podcast hosts Jason A. Coombs and Samantha Tuozzolo are back with the hardworking, mega-talented and gracious “Dear Evan Hanson” actor, Linedy Genao. Linedy shares with us how transitioned from working in a bank as her ‘survival job’ to gracing the stage in “On Your Feet”, her Broadway debut as the Gloria Estefan understudy!

Before closing out the episode with a fun ‘Fill in the Lyric’ game, Linedy provides insight into how Broadway can be more inclusive to Latin Performers, how she overcomes imposter syndrome and the importance of taking time for yourself as an Actor.

The episode opens with Samantha and Jason sharing a mic check where Jason discusses seeing “Hamilton” for the first time recently and Samantha’s love of ‘trashy’ reality television to decompress after a long day!

Please excuse any sound issues, Friends! We are still in a pandemic!!
