Welcome back to a new season(??) of Upstage Left! After a long hiatus we're back with actor Kim Blanck who plays Ruza Wenclawska in Broadway's Suffs. We're so excited to be talking our dear friend who's been singing and acting on New York stages for more than a decade. You may have seen her in MCC's Alice by Heart or Dave Malloy's Octet at the Signature Theater.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Kim's unconventional journey as a musical theater phenom
  • Navigating the industry as a HAPA actor
  • How she ended up in the Broadway production of Suffs after she thought her journey with the show was over

This episode was a joy to record, and even more a joy to listen back to. We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more episodes this season!
