Samantha talks about how being on Broadway for SIX the Musical is different. Th show differs from the typical “standard” musical theater that she, and most people are more accustomed to. She also has performed in many other musical that are well known to musical fans. This consists of the critically acclaimed Evita (Eva Peron), Honeymoon in Vegas (Betsy Nolan), Godspell, Seussical (Marriott Theatre), Hairspray (Amber von Tussle), Elf the Musical (Jovie, Paramount Theatre), Beaches (Teen Ceecee, Drury Lane Theatre). Out of all the musicals Samantha has done, SIX the Musical is one of the hardest shows she has ever done and probably will ever do.

In our interview with Samantha, she talks about all of the research for SIX the Musical that she had to do. Not only on Henry VIII but on her queen, Katehrine Howard. She also talks about the others as well and how this research was integrated into their rehearsals. Samantha talks about her intricate character. She tried to carefully and respectfully perform and represent Katherine, being labeled as the “promiscuous” wife who fell victim in many situations causing her to be a victim. Her song “All You Wanna Do” played a very important part to her and her character. In the interview she dives deeper into the importance of this representation even today and in support of women speaking up and feeling heard.
