“You are an actress so you have to play it yourself and you have to make it believable, you have to believe it yourself, so you have to go on that journey yourself.”
Every Broadway production has a resident director who acts as a link between the creators of the show and the current performers. That is the job of John Stefaniuk in “The Lion King,” which recently celebrated its 15th anniversary on Broadway. He travels around the world, supervising as many as eight productions of the show.
“It’s not a factory job. You want to allow these actors to feel like actors and treat them as such, not feel like replicas of somebody else’s show.”
John Stefaniuk has seen “The Lion King” hundreds of times, yet he never grows tired of it.
“I think, after all these years, if it doesn’t still send a shiver up my back, then I’m not doing my job.”
That’s all for As It Is. I’m June Simms. VOA World News is coming up at the top of the hour, Universal Time. Have a great weekend!
