Emily Martinez - Creator of "The Home of the Forever Theatre Kid" on YouTube
Emily Martínez is a musical theatre performer and content creator hailing from Weehawken, NJ, a stone’s throw away from Midtown Manhattan. Before she, her husband Gabe and their annoyingly adorable pitbull Daisy settled near the Big Apple, Emily was leading production shows with Carnival Cruise Lines for four years, sailing around the world. Pre-Covid, Emily was seen as Jo in the workshop and 54 Below Concert of Starry: a New Musical, and as Fraulein Kost in Columbia University’s production of Cabaret. For six years Emily has been curating content on her performance lifestyle channel, “The Home of the Forever Theatre Kid”, where she brings her personal expertise of the musical theatre and cruise ship worlds balanced with her hotmess-ness of human life to her growing community. Her videos range from stage makeup tutorials to travel vlogs to backstage tours to drunken breakdowns of your favorite Broadway shows. Emily’s mission is to help humans with a passion for the arts to navigate the ups and down of the Musical Theatre World while still celebrating their enough-ness every step of the way. The falls are just as special and important as the climbs and Emily wants her audience to know that there are many paths to the top of the mountain, and that her channel is a safe space for them to celebrate the beautiful weirdness that is the world of Musical Theatre.
