EP 262 - Emerging from the Other Side of Cancel Culture

The stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Broadway were home to Laura Osnes for 15 years until 2021. Laura rose to stardom after winning NBC’s reality TV competition  Grease: You’re The One That I Want, earning her the role of Sandy in the Broadway revival of Grease at the age of 21.    She earned Tony Award nominations for Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde, Cinderella in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. And starred in five Hallmark Channel movies as well as releasing two albums. And that’s just the short version of her accomplishments.    A tabloid published a false narrative that fueled a cyber storm of accusations, and in an instant, Laura’s reputation and the trajectory of her career were changed forever.    Refusing to be a victim of cancel culture, Laura Osnes is finding her voice again.    Laura's debut EP, “On the Other Side, Part 1”, chronicles this past year’s journey of standing up, starting over, building strength, and finding hope on the other side of cancellation.    Today, Laura and her husband Nathan are here with us to tell their story and the release of her new EP “On the Other Side, Part 1”.
