Darren Lee & Mark Hoebee
Welcome to the final episode of Closing Night’s first season! We’ve covered eight different Broadway musicals at the Marquis Theatre that closed too soon, with our final show being Victor/Victoria, written and directed by Blake Edwards and starring his wife Julie Andrews. And in this interview episode we're featuring two members of that Broadway cast. Darren Lee - We talk about his experiences working with legendary leading ladies like Julie Andrews, Liza Minnelli, and Raquel Welch, including the rehearsal process, behind-the-scenes dynamics, and the impact of star power on the overall show experience. He also discusses the challenges of being an Asian actor, yet the thrills he's had being a part of various Broadway productions. Mark Hoebee - Our conversation revolves around the experiences and challenges of producing a theatrical show, including the intricacies of staging and directing, the impact of key personalities, and the dedication and resilience of the cast and crew. The conversation covers the creative process, the influence of notable individuals such as Julie Andrews, the dynamic nature of live performances, and the unwavering commitment of those involved in the production.
