Shannon Lewis - I Gotcha

Tits and Teeth Podcast

Plucked from Pickering Ontario and placed on the Broadway stage, Shannon Lewis is a true legend!

We meet up with Shannon after a busy day, at Pearl studio in New York, get a drink in hand to decompress and chat about her initial move from Canada to the US. We also hear about all the incredible women she’s had the privilege to work with over the years, including Gwen Verdon herself, being part of the Fosse Verdon Legacy, and Shannon ‘gives her secrets back’ as a director/choreographer.

Shannon is the choreographer of the groundbreaking and inventive new musical The Secret Silk by Stephen Schwartz and John Tartaglia. Her critically acclaimed choreography recently appeared in the re-imagined Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Maltz Jupiter Theatre), as well as the new musical film Stuck starring Amy Madigan, Giancarlo Esposito and Ashanti. As a performer, Shannon starred in I Gotcha in the original Broadway cast of Fosse and is featured singing I Gotcha on the Original Cast album. She starred as “Ursula” opposite Christina Applegate in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity, and as “Miss Krumholtz” with Daniel Radcliffe, Darren Criss and Nick Jonas in the Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. Other Broadway credits include: The Mystery of Edwin Drood; The People in the Picture; Curtains; Look of Love; Contact; Candide; Crazy for You. Broadway National Tours: A Chorus Line as “Sheila” and Pippin as “Fastrada”.

Come hang with us, grab a drink (if you’re not driving) and get your weekly fix of musical theatre banter, with beverages.
