I made a new friend today. From St. Louis…to Italy…to the big lights of New York City…is Ms. Hettie Barnhill!

This talented young lady is one of the featured performers in the Broadway hit, FELA!

It was such a pleasure to talk to this sweet young lady. We’ve had some similar experiences in the industry, but she was able to enlighten me on some things. I hope you enjoy this 2 part series.

Please support FELA! on Broadway if you are able to.

“You are not alone…”

That’s what I felt like after talking with this talented sista in New York City the day after Thanksgiving. Tennessee native Lauren De Veaux is a dancer first…actress and singer second. Her performance in the new Broadway hit FELA! is amazing. In this interview I learned so much about her past and the experiences that make her so special. Enjoy this two part series and please tell a friend! Visit Lauren online: http://www.ladeveaux.com
