Groundhog Day Week(s) officially kicks off as we begin on Day One with the delightful, and very talented Ashleigh Rubenach who of course played Nancy in the Melbourne production of the show.

We discuss the plans to do a podcast within a podcast, the surprising reactions to Groundhog Day, Andy Karl's embrace of the Australian company, performing Groundhog Day by night and rehearsing Sunset Boulevard by day, an unwavering trust in knowing what to do for a living, a tap audition that led to Ashleigh's first job in Anything Goes, exploring the possibilities of screen acting, the vulnerability experienced while performing the self contained number of 'Playing Nancy', the first time Ashleigh felt like she was stepping into her own, the opportunity to create a character from scratch in Cry Baby, not knowing when your luck will change, having a super suit on while on stage, realising you add value, and a whole lot more!
