🎠From Broadway to Descendants: The Rise of Red — Joshua Colley is no stranger to the spotlight, and in this episode of MOMager, we go way behind the scenes.
Felicia, Loren, and Malachi sit down with Josh and his incredible parents, Robbie and Brad, for an honest and hilarious convo about growing up in the biz, staying grounded through it all, and what it really takes to raise a triple-threat.
We talk about Joshua’s Broadway roots (Newsies, Les Misérables), his journey into film, and how it felt stepping into the Disney universe as Young Hook.Plus, we dig into family dynamics, audition realities, and what it’s been like for Robbie and Brad to support Josh’s dreams—without losing themselves in the process.
