Dan is joined by musical theatre superstar, Hayden Baum!

We chat about why Hayden reached out to be on the podcast over a year ago, finding his love for performing, growing up on movie musicals, playing piano, a full circle moment closing the Chicago tour in Canberra, the WAAPA experience, singing always being a big thing, surrounding himself with inspirational people, first auditions, being in the now, learning more on the job, working on Cats, pacing himself during a show, checking in, international audiences, getting the call to be an emergency swing in American Psycho at the Sydney Opera House, the realities of working as a swing, using emoji's to help with memory, the non structured life outside of theatre, taking a break, struggles with confidence, imposter syndrome, working with industry legends on Chicago, getting a gift from Pete Rowsthorn, gaining wisdom from others, lifting each other up, backstage superstitions, quick changes, mindfulness, community, covering a lead character, the soul-enriching experience doing a show with Trevor Ashley, and a whole lot more!
