The Working Actor: Musical Theatre

Heather McGuigan is a musical theatre performer by trade and is just about to start her fifth production of Mary Poppins. She’s toured the show across North America and talks about how this is one show she never tires of. Heather also talks about what it’s like to play every single role in the musical theatre canon: swing, understudy, ensemble and principle. She shares the ups and downs of each role and the one thing you should never do as an understudy.
