Krysta Rodriguez: Coming Full Circle with 'Smash' 12 Years Later

Описание: Join host Melanie Sutrathada for a delightful cocktail conversation with Broadway and TV star Krysta Rodriguez on this episode of "I'll Drink to That!"

Discover how this California native who watched "Titanic" 13 times in theaters made her way to Broadway, starring in hits like "First Date," "Into the Woods," and "Cinderella." Krysta reveals the transformative power of playing Cinderella during the pandemic, her experience on the original "Smash" TV series, and how she's now coming full circle by bringing the show to Broadway 12 years later.

Beyond her impressive performance career, Krysta opens up about her passion for interior design, showcasing her talent for transforming Broadway dressing rooms (including Jeremy Jordan's!) into stunning spaces. Her unique perspective on balancing multiple creative pursuits offers inspiration for anyone juggling their passions.

This engaging conversation touches on everything from Disney princesses to impostor syndrome, favorite Broadway shows, and Krysta's remarkable achievement of visiting all seven continents. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy this refreshingly honest discussion about theater, design, and finding your own path.
