Broadway Debuts, COVID-19 Shutdown, Survival Jobs + more with Cailen Fu (Mean Girls)
Cailen Fu is an actor, singer and voiceover artist based in New York City. She made her Broadway debut in MEAN GIRLS and is the current standby for Regina George and Gretchen Wieners! She trained classically at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and in London with RADA + Shakespeare’s Globe. She then graduated with her BFA in Musical Theater + Honors in Acting from University of California, Irvine. Post-grad, she signed across-the-board with A3 Artists Agency. Off-Broadway: Nickel Mines (Rosanna King). NYC: Austen's Pride (Associate Choreographer). Regional: Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Lyric Company, the Nashville Repertory Theater. When she’s not on stage or teaching, you can find her hiking a new trail, watering her plant babies or trying out a new pastry recipe!
In this episode, NYC-based actress and host Maggie Bera chats with Cailen about her training, how auditions for Hamilton lead to her Broadway debut in Mean Girls, the difference between Broadway standbys and understudies, survival jobs, how she's coping during quarantine, her secret Chipotle analogy, and more.
