Those Who Inspire: Recent Episodes
Emaley Rose
Is this a theatre podcast? Is this a motivational podcast? Is this an excuse for me to talk to performers I've always wanted to talk to? Who's to say?!
Welcome to 'Those who Inspire' with Emaley Rose--your semi-annual, semi-motivational theatre fix. As a young actor, there are lots of people who inspire me, so every episode I'll be having in-depth, personal conversations with fellow theatre folk to discuss why they inspire me, who inspires them, and why we do what we do.
The Queen(ie) is here! My brilliant coach and all around legend Julia Murney and I are taking a walk down memory lane to break down her resume and get some life lessons along the way. We're talking story telling, our obsession with Caroline Bowman and the Sentimental Men Podcast, and the fact that Into the Woods was in fact NOT written in the 1950's as Emaley's brain had somehow assumed?? What else can I say--she's the best <3 Hope you all enjoy!

Come to our [secret] garden [gush-fest]!
So honored to have the chance to speak with three-time Tony Winner and real life Billy Elliot Warren Carlyle about the magic of the 2018 lab livestream of 'The Secret Garden'! We bonded over our long history of choreographing every song we've ever heard in our head, our love of Sierra Boggess and Christopher Wheeldon, and the importance of story and collaboration. He's an absolute delight and I had so much fun recording this episode! Hope you enjoy :)
