A Day In The Life: An Actor On His Very First Day on Broadway

video.playbill.com Although it was announced that "Jesus Christ Superstar" was approaching the end its Broadway run, the production was still able to make a Broadway dream come true this past spring. Longtime Off-Broadway and regional performer Leo Ash Evens was cast as the Apostle Phillip in a temporary replacement role through July 1. Playbill met Evens just as he was leaving home and heading out to the Neil Simon Theatre for final rehearsal. We tagged along as Evens talked about fueling up for the long day, his love of the Upper West Side and his anticipation of his long-awaited (finally!) Broadway debut.

this should be called: how to walk and take the subway to a theater.

Lol....had the same thought...and what to buy at your local deli....

And a life story while being thought! 2 for the price of 2!

i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?

I'm glad to see such a down to earth actor having such success. All you actors with the big egos should take note.

[@mgc1022]

Susan Blake Too many successful actors, particularly in Hollywood, forget what it feels like to keep grinding and working hard, just relying on their fame. Certainly nice to see hard work and humility paying off here 🙂👍🏻

[@meltedmarshdaddy]

They are only down to earth because they don't have a choice haha. Because Broadway basically pays minimum wage unless you're a lead and that depends on what show and who you are.

[@michellemarie1197]

Even just to be a backup dancer would be a dream!! The stage the energy and the city!! Its so lively!!

This guy is very lucky I wish I have the same success as he having in as a stage actor.

[@ernestogutierrez1441]

The guy is so sweet!, hope he becomes really succesfull!

[@gabemcguire2871]

What an amazing freaking show to start broadway on! What a blessing.

[@AnitaLauren]

Wow this was amazing! :) As an actor in training this inspires me so much! I hope to be in such a beautiful city one day like NYC :)

Sorry but the Antonio Garza music in the start....

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]

I wanna be on Broadway 😭 I feel like I’m not good enough at acting or dancing though... I love singing but I’ve never had lessons or anything...

[@fangirlandproud6442]

meowingsheep XD Same! I completely understand how you feel

[@Eveoriginalsinner]

meowingsheep XD most broadway performers have had tradition lessons in acting, dancing, and singing from a very early age so

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]

Joe Bott I know, and I’ve never had lessons. I do a choir at school that teaches technique too but i only did dance when I was 4 and I’ve never had acting lessons, soooo

[@jadeallisonhollingsworth]

Fangirl and Proud Just saying, though that may be true, that’s kinda rude of you to say. Encourage people to pursue their dreams. Don’t put them down because they don’t have as much experience as others.

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]
