New Hampshire's Broadway stars are in the spotlight, and NH Chronicle is bringing their stories to life in a special episode. The show, airing at 7 p.m. on Monday, shines a light on three talented individuals who have made their mark on the Great White Way.
First up is Emma Flynn, the new Glinda in 'Wicked'. Flynn, a Bedford resident, showcases the heavy gown she wears while flying in a bubble, revealing the dedication and skill required for such a demanding performance. It's a testament to her talent that she can carry such a heavy dress with grace and precision.
Next, we meet Jennifer Simard, a three-time Tony Award nominee, who stars in 'Death Becomes Her'. Simard, a Litchfield native, shares the significance of having a portrait hanging in Sardis, a reminder of her roots and the journey that led her to Broadway. Her story is one of perseverance and the power of dreams coming true.
The special also features Max Clayton and Kaleigh Cronin, childhood friends from Manchester, who are making their Broadway debut together in 'Schmigadoon!'. Clayton, a former understudy to Hugh Jackman, and Cronin, his childhood friend, are now part of a show that received 12 Tony nominations and won Best Musical at the Drama Desk Awards. Their story is one of friendship, talent, and the fulfillment of dreams.
This NH Chronicle special is a celebration of New Hampshire's Broadway talent, offering a unique insight into the lives and experiences of these three individuals. It's a reminder that dreams can come true and that the journey to Broadway is filled with challenges, dedication, and the fulfillment of lifelong aspirations.
