You don't have as much time as you think you do, so you better be prepared. At least that’s how Joy Woods lives her life. She shares how she caught the acting bug, starting as a dancer but eventually fell in love with theatre and acting. She looks back on her time in “Little Shop of Horrors”, her audition process in “SIX The Musical” and the sisterhood among cast members. She moved around during the pandemic, “broke, alone and free”, realizing that part of her needed that freedom to grow. Now starring as Middle Allie in Broadway’s “The Notebook”, Joy talks about the different aspects of the show, including the depth of its characters, and the unique experience of performing in a production that resonates deeply with audiences while also invoking intense feelings of nostalgia. She reflects on her personal connection to her character, and the things she’s learned about herself in the process.

Joy Woods made her Broadway debut in 2022, taking over the role of Catherine Parr in “Six The Musical”. She was part of the ongoing hit production of the off-broadway production of “Little Shop of Horrors,” returning to play the role of Audrey in 2023 after originating the role of Chiffon in the original 2019 revival cast. Her additional credits include the 2020 production of “Mac & Mabel” at City Center on Chorus!, the viral “Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical”, and a 2023 production of “I Can Get It For You Wholesale” off-Broadway, and a 2023 production of “Dreamgirls,” which took place at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. She has just opened “The Notebook” on Broadway as Middle Allie.
