The Life of a Swing - with Allsun O'Malley and Matt Farcher (Part One)
Wicked on Broadway recently hit 20 years, and if you've seen the show, you already knw why! The musical tells the backstory of the The Wizard of Oz, and it does it effortlessly and beautifully. In today's episode, I chat with two actors who help the show run smoothly show after show - these are your Broadway swings, Matt Farcher and Allsun O'Malley! This marks Matt’s second Broadway show, and Allsun’s Broadway debut, and they talk everything from audition processes to mid-show swing-ons! These are the people that save a show when another cast member has an injury, or when someone is on vacation. Without them, the show can't go on.
