Hey y’all, what’s up? In this video, I sit down with the phenomenal Anastacia McCleskey to talk all things Broadway and beyond! 🌟 Ever wonder what it’s like to star in Boop on Broadway? Or how it feels to transition from a swing role in Hairspray to leading the stage in powerhouse performances like Hair and Waitress? Anastacia spills it all—her journey, lessons learned, and even how she found her purpose through storytelling and healing.

From her first Broadway contract to starring in nine Broadway shows (yes, NINE!), Anastacia's story is packed with inspiration, laughs, and unforgettable moments. We chat about her time in SUFFS (which had me crying and laughing), her love for the Broadway community, and even her dreams to direct and write. Plus, she’s got some incredible advice for performers and creators everywhere!

Hit subscribe and come on the ride as we celebrate Anastacia’s incredible career and discuss her journey from Nashville to New York, her performances in iconic roles, and her heartfelt connection to the stage. Let’s lift each other up and soak in some Broadway magic together! 🎭✨
