From Nickelodeon to Hamilton and Beyond: A Conversation with Stephanie Klemons.It was an absolute pleasure hosting Stephanie Klemons, Associate Choreographer and original Dance Captain for Hamilton, on The Friend Zone, with Jason Belsky! We delved into her incredible journey, from her early inspiration watching Cats (yes, even my Bar Mitzvah had a Cats theme!) to her current work directing and choreographing major musicals. Stephanie's career is a testament to hard work, passion, and resilience. We discussed:•Her early career: From a Nickelodeon commercial (which we found!) to her breakout role in In the Heights.•The magic of New York Fit Fest: How a collaborative spirit brought together fitness, dance, and community.•Katie's Art Project: Stephanie's inspiring non-profit connecting terminally ill children with professional artists. This deeply personal project highlights the power of art to connect us, even in the face of adversity.•The highs and lows of Broadway: The unbelievable success of Hamilton (billions of dollars!), the realities of profit sharing, and the unexpected challenges of managing a global production.•Conquering stage fright: Stephanie bravely shared her struggles with performance anxiety, offering a relatable and honest perspective on the pressures faced by artists.•The importance of self-belief: We both confessed to battling imposter syndrome, a reminder that even the most successful among us experience self-doubt.This conversation was filled with laughter, inspiring stories, and valuable insights into the world of dance, theatre, and the human spirit
