In this ep, I chat with Olivia Vasquez & Olivia Dacal, talented Latina performers and we chat about their roles in the musical 'In the Heights' at the Sydney Opera House. The conversation revolves around familia, pressure, support, representation, and la comunidad latina en Australia.
Olivia Vasquez plays Vanessa, a dreamer who wants to leave the barrio but realises that her home and community are important to her. Olivia Dacal plays Nina, who faces challenges at college but ultimately finds strength in her community. Both resonate with their characters and bring their own experiences to their roles. Plus we chat all things Latina mama's and the important role they play.
Tickets to the Sydney Opera House musical 'In The Hieghts' on until August 24th. https://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/musical-theatre-cabaret/heights?gad_source=1
