Intro to this Episode<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this Episode of \u201cIn The Holding Room\u201d, we are joined by performer, Kristy Cates for \u201cPerformer Spotlight\u201d. Kristy was a member of the original Broadway cast of Wicked (understudy to Idina Menzel). Kristy went on to open the National Tour as Elphaba and played the role for a year in the highly acclaimed Chicago sit-down production. Other Broadway roles include: Grandma Josephine in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Miss Bassett in Finding Neverland. In \u201cThank you 5\u201d this week, I will be talking about why you can, not like a Broadway show, but you can\u2019t call it bad. Kaitlyn Davis and Katie Travis are in \u201cProfessor\u2019s Corner\u201d. With many professional credits to their names, they met playing the role of Christine Daa\u00e9 in Phantom of the Opera. They gave singing lessons to the dancers in the show, and the dancers gave them dance lessons. An Idea was born! They now teach \u201cGroup Singing for Dancers\u201d and are here to give a few tips.<\/p>\n
