#35 Vivien Leone
from in 1: the podcast Hosted by Cory Pattak
Lighting Design in America has a long history of pioneering women and we sit down with one of those women today...it's Vivien Leone! Vivien is arguably the most experienced, sought after Associate working on Broadway and she brings with her a wealth of knowledge from her 30 years in the business. She and Cory discuss her ongoing relationship with 'Phantom of the Opera' and how much of the Broadway production remains the same from the day it opened, the personal and psychological effects she experienced being in tech for a year on 'Spiderman', and her experiences with both sexism and ageism in her field. She also shares stories from 'The Last Ship' and 'The Bridges of Madison County', tells us about the fork in the road that led her to pursue the Associate track, and of COURSE talks about her lighting paperwork, which is considered by many to be the best paperwork in the business.
