Becoming... Casting Director for Chicago Fire, Med, and PD Jenny Ravitz

END OF SEASON ONE!! This week is our last episode for a couple weeks as we get some more interviews from people we love. We’re so excited to talk with the casting genius behind Chicago Fire/Med/ PD and her husband Beetlejuice. Jenny Ravitz (casting director at Jonathan Strauss casting) and Alex Brightman (two time Tony Award Nominee for Beetlejuice and School of Rock, Wicked, Matilda) are hilarious, insightful, and SO in love. The gems in this episode are everywhere from “find your Colorado”, to “you define your own success”, to Joe’s REMARKABLE (not remarkable) story of being cast on Chicago Fire. We also talk about Dan auditioning for Frozen and Ryan Murphy’s A Chorus Line on Netflix. We’re so grateful to Alex and Jenny, all of our listeners, and Kevin. Thank you Kevin.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
