74. How Pop/Rock is Reshaping the Broadway Industry: An Inside Look with Sydney Morton


Listen Later

Join Cynthia and Broadway & TV performer Sydney Morton for a deep dive into how pop/rock has become a must-have skill in the Broadway industry. Sydney shares her journey—from classical theatre training to singing jazz and R&B at home—only to find that nearly 90% of her musical theatre career has been in pop/rock shows, reflecting the industry’s shift.

Fun fact: Sydney’s very first audition out of college (the morning after showcase)? A pop/rock show!

With Broadway credits including Memphis, Evita, Motown, and American Psycho, plus TV and film roles in Manifest, Three Women, The Sound of Music LIVE!, and Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace, Sydney offers an insider’s perspective on how pop/rock is reshaping auditions and performances on stage and screen.

Pop/rock skills are ESSENTIAL in our industry! Here’s the thing: You can’t approach a pop/rock audition the same way you do a traditional musical theatre audition. So, how do you know where to start?!👇
