In this episode, we dive behind the curtain with Bethany Weaver in her first ever interview as she shares her incredible journey from teaching at Stagecoach to stepping onto one of the most iconic movie sets of all time - Wicked: For Good.

We talk about everything from her early performance instincts to surreal moments like meeting Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the quirks of filming with a dog on set, and what it felt like to put on THE blue and white gingham dress.

She opens up about the audition process, working with director Jon M. Chu, and why those famous slippers aren’t actually red.

Beyond the glitz, she reflects on:

•  The power of theatre and creativity to give kids options

•  Her favourite Wicked song (and the moment that made her cry)

•  How performance builds confidence, resilience, and spontaneity

•  The importance of being yourself — because that’s the best version
  

With honesty, humour, and a touch of sparkle (literally - those crystal slippers!), this is a conversation about dreams, self-belief, and why this is just the beginning.
