In this wide-ranging and entertaining conversation, host Tom Alvarez reconnects with acclaimed performer and impressionist Christina Bianco, joining from London to reflect on her international career, viral success, and life abroad.

Christina shares how a post-COVID pivot led her from New York to London, where she’s found creative freedom, steady work, and a lifestyle that blends city energy with village calm. She breaks down the differences between Broadway and the West End, explaining why the UK has become a hotspot for developing new musical theater—and why many American creatives are taking their work overseas.

The conversation dives deep into Christina’s rise as the “queen of musical impressions,” tracing her journey from Forbidden Broadway to viral YouTube fame, major symphony collaborations, and international television appearances. She discusses her creative process for impressions, emphasizing that mimicry must come from a place of love, not parody—and shares memorable reactions from stars like Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters, and Kathy Griffin.

Listeners are treated to a live a cappella impression medley, showcasing Christina’s uncanny ability to channel legends like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, and more.

Christina also opens up about:

· Life in London vs. New York

· Her husband Bill’s career as a veterinary physiotherapist

· The cultural differences between American and British audiences

· Her upcoming role as June Carter Cash in The Ballad of Johnny & June, directed by Des McAnuff

· Mentoring young performers and staying connected through social media

Warm, funny, and insightful, this episode is a masterclass in adaptability, artistry, and building a global career while staying grounded.
