Michele Pawk
From Hairspray on Broadway.
Days after joining the Hairspray cast as Velma von Tussle, Michele Pawk talks about the experience of being “put into” a long-running show and how one finds their character in that situation; shares her journey from a “Broadway-style” revue at Disney World to her first Broadway appearance in Mail; describes how she turned down an offer to appear in Crazy For You, only to get a second offer months later for a more prominent role; recalls her experiences working on the new musicals Seussical and Bounce; reveals some guidance she received from Carol Burnett while playing Burnett’s mother in Hollywood Arms, and offers a special message to those who see try-outs and early previews of new shows and write about them on the Internet.
