Episode Description from the Publisher

Jessica Vosk on stepping into Bette Midler's legacy with the Broadway musical ‘Beaches’ and why she's not your typical Broadway girl. "There's a lot of C.C. [Bloom] in Jessica," Vosk said. "A person who is so focused, blinders on, true grit, willing to just crawl through the mud by yourself to get to where you want to go. I also base a lot of my life on self-deprecating comedy. I'm gonna make fun of myself before you get a chance to. And that's a very C.C. Bloom thing." Subscribe to my newsletter: https://for-the-culture.beehiiv.com Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
