Ep120 - In Dreams with LENA HALL
b'
Our dreams came true! We were beyond honoured to speak with Tony Award winner Lena Hall all about starring as Kenna in the new musical In Dreams now playing at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto.
\\nIn Dreams tells the story of Kenna - a country-rock singer who brings her old bandmates back together for "the party of a lifetime" while keeping her true motivations a secret. Set in a Mexican restaurant in New Mexico that specializes in tacos, margaritas, and memorial services,\\xa0this unexpected and moving new musical explores our longing for love and connection -\\xa0all through the iconic songs of Roy Orbison.
