S2; EP 7 -- Spencer Liff: Why Can't It Be Me?

“You have to say yes to everything. You have to put yourself in
every room you can. It's not learning from one person, it’s going
to learn from as many people as possible. Noone is going to hand it
to you on a silver platter.” In this episode we discuss… Making his
Broadway debut at 10 years old. Becoming Rob Ashford's assistant. A
mortifying debut and successful second chance on So You Think You
Can Dance. Stepping up and problem solving. Producing, directing,
and choreographing. Drag the Musical Spencer's Broadway journey has
been nothing short of remarkable. Starting at the age of 7 on the
national tour of The Will Rogers Follies, he made his Broadway
debut at age 11 and went on to perform in 5 Broadway shows. After
transitioning to choreography, he worked on 4 more Broadway
productions, including the Tony-winning Hedwig. His 10-year stint
on "So You Think You Can Dance" led to multiple Emmy nominations
and he's choreographed for top TV shows as well as the Oscars,
Tonys, and Grammys. Recently, he has added directing to his resume
with a successful production of the cult classic Reefer Madness in
LA, with Hollywood stars like Kristen Bell, Matthew Morrison, and
Rachel Bloom making weekly cameo appearances. The musical will
hopefully make its way to NYC and the UK.
