Sofia chats with the FABULOUS Jenna Ushkowitz (Glee, Waitress, Hello Again, The King and I, Spring Awakening)!!! Jenna is best known for starring as Tina Cohen-Chang on the mega-hit Fox TV series Glee, and made her Broadway debut at the age of 9 as a Royal Child in The King and I. She has also been featured onstage as Ilse Neumann in Spring Awakening, Jeannie Ryan in Hair and Julia Sullivan in The Wedding Singer. On television, Jenna has been featured in The Glee Project, Hello Again, Yellow Fever, Sesame Street, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, This Is How I Made It, When I Was 17, Little Bill, MasterChef, Educated and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. She has also served as an executive producer of the 2014 documentary Twinsters. Jenna most recently starred as Dawn Williams in Waitress on Broadway, and co-produced the hit Broadway musicals Once on This Island and Be More Chill. Jenna and I discuss the differences between producing on Broadway and on television, her love for Sondheim musicals,  her auditions for Glee and Waitress, why she would love to play a female Aaron Burr as well as Marcy Park in a revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and much more! Jenna has played so many different roles in the theatre industry from actress to producer, and it was so fascinating to hear about her experiences. Be sure to catch Jenna in her upcoming indie film One Night in San Diego!
