Episode #210 with Adam Murphy

Dan is joined by actor Adam Murphy, a legend in the industry, who at the time of this recording just came off the Australian production of Wicked, playing Dr. Dillamond and covering The Wizard! This is Adam's first podcast!We chat about sitting down for the first time talking about himself, leaving Wicked, learning a show from scratch, playing an isolated character, working out a routine, being the 'older' experienced member of the cast, finding longevity in the industry, the unknowns of auditioning, not dwelling on jobs he didn't get, falling into musicals, the difficulty of finding balance being a parent and a husband while doing a show, the great feeling of saying no, an emotional performance in Mary Poppins, a Groucho Marx act, moving to New Zealand, selling vacuum cleaners, the not so straight forward path to becoming an actor, having a quiet confidence, the upcoming Follies production with VIC Opera, performing in front of Stephen Sondheim, meeting Matt Damon, being laid back, not getting hung up on perfection, feeling like something was missing, and a whole lot more!
