Star of the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of \u201cOnce on This Island\u201d and emerging LGBTQ pop icon Alex Newell joins Backstage to discuss music and acting, longevity and survival, and gratitude and humility. Newell got his start with a video audition for \u201cThe Glee Project,\u201d winding up with both a recording contract and a recurring role on Ryan Murphy\u2019s \u201cGlee\u201d as one of the first trans characters on network TV. Despite being ridiculously young for such success and such talent, Newell is also, as this fabulous interview suggests, wise beyond his years.\n\nFor over 50 years, Backstage has been the most trusted place for actors to find jobs and career advice, and for casting professionals to find the right performers for their projects. \u201cIn the Envelope: An Awards Podcast\u201d features intimate, inspirational interviews with some of the most exciting actors and awards contenders working today.
