Carmel Dean: Listening To Her Instincts

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


Let's journey together into the bright lights and booming music
of Broadway, as we sit down with award-winning composer,
lyricist, and multi-hyphenate, Carmel Dean. From her humble
beginnings in Australia to the bustling streets of New York,
Carmel takes us on an exploration of the beautiful and
challenging world of theatre, where she found her calling in
music directing and composition. She bares her heart about her
transformative move to America and the courageous decision to
divorce, revealing how these pivotal moments shaped her into a
more resilient individual.

Carmel’s candid conversation will strike a chord as she navigates
through the highs and lows that come with working in the theatre
industry. She opens up about her fight for self-belief, her
strategies to manage anxiety and depression, and her tenacious
pursuit of the artistic 'high' she first experienced in high
school. But it's not all about the stage. Carmel also welcomes us
into her new venture, Places Please Travel for Theater Lovers, a
travel business that offers her a sense of autonomy rarely found
in the world of Broadway.

In the final act of our chat, Carmel hints towards the future
while pausing to appreciate the present. She reflects on her
journey so far, her classical training, and the exhilaration of
creating her own artistic blueprint. Balancing personal life with
a demanding career, her story offers a heartfelt perspective on
embracing challenges and finding your rhythm in life. So tune in
and let Carmel's symphony of experiences inspire you to live your
own life to the fullest.
