S2; EP 3 -- Hannah Solow: Oh, Mary!

Hannah Solow is probably one of the funniest people on the planet.
She creates hysterical characters on social media, is a stand up
comic, and musical theatre performer. In this very funny episode,
we dive into specific social media practices, grabbing control of
your career, how getting cast in Broadway’s hit OH, MARY! came to
be, and brilliant gems of stories from being in the industry –
including what it was like to tour the country in Daniel Fish’s
OKLAHOMA!, for instance.  Hannah Solow is currently understudy
to Mary Todd Lincoln and Mary’s Chaperone/Bill in Oh, Mary!,
written by Cole Escola and directed by Sam Pinkleton, at The Lyceum
Theatre on Broadway.  She received her BFA in drama from New
York University's Tisch School of the Arts and has performed
everywhere from The Kennedy Center to a hostel in Chinatown. She
traveled to over 20 cities across the country performing as “Gertie
Cummings” in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” directed by
Daniel Fish. She performed on Broadway at The Cort Theatre as the
“understudy” to Mike Birbiglia in his show, The New One.  For
many years she performed weekly at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade
with musical improv team, Rumpleteaser, and monthly with house
sketch teams. She has performed her original standup, characters
and songs at The Bell House, Caroline’s, Club Cumming, Littlefield,
and many more places/basements. She has taught improvisation to
students pre-K through fifth grade across both Manhattan and
Brooklyn. They were way funnier than she is. @babymcgoo Learn
