"Don’t be afraid to say yes. Go for the performance opportunities in high school, audition for the senior-directed plays, do the student-run shows—try everything you can, and find where you thrive. Just go for it and keep saying yes.”

Sitting down with McKenzie for the podcast was such a special treat—it feels like we've come full circle with this interview! Earlier in the season, we had the pleasure of hosting Kristin Chenoweth, the original Glinda in Wicked, on the podcast. And now, to mark the 20th anniversary of that show, we're delighted to have McKenzie Kurtz, the current Glinda, join us! You can catch McKenzie as Glinda at the Gershwin Theater through the end of February 2024. After that, she’ll be starring in the brand new Huey Lewis musical premiering on Broadway this spring, The Heart of Rock and Roll.
