I had the pleasure of chatting with Long Island famous choreographer Melissa Rapelje and we had the best time! We discussed her experience with Legally Blonde – how she didn't intend to work on the show and what changed her mind – her passion for dance, as well as some of her favorite roles as a performer! She's done so many things over the years and juggles it all with being a wife and mother…crazy impressive!

This conversation was an absolute hoot; give it a watch/listen and catch closing weekend of Legally Blonde at CM Performing Arts Center to see her work in motion! Their final performances are Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday at 2pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2pm!​

SURPRISE! I went live tonight to discuss upcoming productions and auditions - and share highlights from my conversations with KEITH JONES (@keith_joness) and KIERNAN URSO (@kiernanurso)!

This was fun because both conversations were so different - Keith is directing Legally Blonde which opens on the mainstage at CM Performing Arts Center (@cmperformingarts) on Saturday 1/17 and Kiernan is starring in Brighton Beach Memoirs as Eugene at Theatre Three (@theatrethreeproductions) also opening this weekend!

I will be live every OTHER Thursday at 8pm with Long Island theater news and conversations - if there is something or someONE you would like to see on a future episode, sliiiiiiiiiide in my DMs!

I don't want to just keep writing about you and your projects - I want to get to know you and make space for others to as well. Thank you again to Keith and Kiernan for spending some time with me - you can't build something FOR the community without participation FROM the community...so I'm grateful.

You can find ALL episodes (livestream and extended conversations) and my reviews on my website at www.thekylepettyshow.com!
