MARLA MINDELLE On Broadway Blackouts, Celine Dion Parody Magic, & Island Girl Getaways

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome Marla Mindelle! Marla talks about growing up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, her journey from musical theater kid to Broadway star, and the path that led her from performing onstage to creating her own work. She shares stories from the whirlwind of Tony season, including performing at the Tony Awards while starring in Titanique. Marla also reflects on early New York trips with her dad, family vacations to Long Beach Island, Maine, and Disney World, moving to Los Angeles to focus on writing, developing Titanique into the international hit it is today, and traveling to productions around the world to see how audiences in places like London and Paris embraced the show with their own local twists. Titanique is on Broadway now! Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
