In this week\\u2019s episode, I sit down with Andrew Scanlon. Andrew Scanlon is an actor and singer who has performed in both plays and musicals across North America including the Original Canadian Company and First National Tour of Kinky Boots. In our conversation we discuss the importance of self-care and the ability to sustain long runs, remembering to focus on the areas of your career where you have some say and not stressing too much it comes to the aspects of your career that are beyond your control, as well as the similarities between major league sports and the theatre industry. We also discuss his experiences in both the Toronto production and First National Tour of Kinky Boots, what Canadian theatre can learn from something like the Raptors franchise when it comes to bringing together an entire city/country, as well as where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future and what important conversations are and should be being had.
