In the first of two episodes of Hard NOC Life releasing this week, Keith sits down with Broadway superstar and now, children's book author, Mandy Gonzalez to talk about her new middle grade novel, Fearless. They also talk about her career -- from originating the role of Nina for In the Heights to replacing Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica in Hamilton -- and why being fearless has helped her cope while Broadway is shut down.
