On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with the current guest star who is ready for her close-up at the St. James Theatre every Tuesday night, the iconic Mandy Gonzalez. Now in her seventh Broadway show, Mandy plays the role of Norma Desmond at least once a week in the critically and audience-lauded production of “Sunset Blvd.”
In the conversation, they talk about why after all of her success, she thought that taking on a role one night a week on Broadway was right for her.
Not only do they dive deep into all things “Sunset,” but as a former Elphaba they also talk about the new “Wicked” movie, and she shares some lessons learned from her time as Idina Menzel's standby in “Aida,” while they were both a part of the early workshops of “Wicked.”
