Chloë Campbell

Howdy!
Today's guest is the AMAZING Chloë Campbell.
Chloë was one of my first friends in NYC. I think I'd just moved to NYC a week prior to us meeting. Despite knowing her for 10+ years, there was so much about her personal career journey I didn't know. It was nice to finally sit down and chat.
I appreciate Chloë so much for giving me some of her time. As you can hear in the interview, she's very busy balancing her roles as a parent and dancer. Both are incredibly time consuming, but she handles it with grace.
She even has her own podcast, Mutha, where she discusses the balancing act of being on Broadway and a parent. Please give her a follow and listen- it's an incredible podcast that definitely serves an overlooked part of the entertainment industry.
Chloë's professional credits include:
Broadway: Hamilton, King Kong, and Tuck Everlasting.
Broadway Tours include In The Heights.
West End London - Mary Poppins, Desperately Seeking Susan, Shoes, and On The Town
