It was a true honour to sit down with the one and only Todd McKenney for Episode 3!
Todd opens up about his extraordinary career across stage, television, and film; from starring in Baz Luhrmann’s first film Strictly Ballroom, to performing in over 40 hit musicals and and becoming the loveable yet “honest” judge on Dancing With the Stars, entertaining millions every week.
We chat about the magic and real grind of show business, why you should never say no to a gig (even a shopping centre one), and how building skills, curiosity, kindness and resilience can shape a lasting career in the arts.
A candid, funny, and deeply inspiring chat for theatre fans and curious newcomers alike. We've got laughs, lessons, and backstage stories from one of the greats.
