Playing classic characters like Belle, Glinda, and more, Tasha Tormey brings the best of Broadway to the masses with the traveling musical revue “Celebrate You,” in which she was cast via Backstage.
“Our musical promotes a positive message and educates against bullying using the stories of beloved Broadway characters from ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Wicked,’ ‘Billy Elliot,’ and ‘Shrek,’ ” Tormey says of the Musical Theatre West production. “The characters in these musicals were all excluded in one way or another. We use the stories to teach children how to overcome obstacles, deal with bullying, and seek help if they are being bullied.”
A graduate of UC Irvine’s musical theater BFA program, Tormey is now a working actor living in Los Angeles. She credits Backstage for keeping her “busy and working” in her five years as a subscriber.
“I wake up and check my email from Backstage; I check throughout the day for updates; when I’m not onstage, I’m on Backstage,” Tormey says. “Backstage works! It is reliable, actor-friendly, specific, actionable, and effective. The site is never down, and I can easily submit for roles on my phone from any location.”
