72. Life and All Its ‘Stages’ (with Rachel Potter)

About this episode

Rachel Potter discusses her diverse career in musical theatre and her new album, Stages.

Rachel Potter has a resume that reads like we made it up. She starred in the live shows at Disney World. She was on MTV’s The Search for Elle Woods. She was a Glinda understudy on the national tour of Wicked. She delivered one of our all time favorite cast recording performances as the Mistress in the 2012 Evita revival. And now her newest album, Stages, is giving the full symphony treatment to some musical theatre favorites. This week, Rachel joins the Sentimental Men to chat about magic auditions, motherhood and her musical legacy. Plus, the boys get Sentimental about Real Women Have Curves, Dolly Parton and Diana DeGarmo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
