Eleni comes to us from the Kennedy Center’s Digital Learning Center to talk about a musical that lives in her very soul and bones.

Topics include: preteen sunset, channelling Maria Callas, tired performances, unfinished lyrics, Betty Schaefer’s agency, and (of course) a swimming pool named “Andrew.”
