Over the coming days, we’ll be highlighting some of the crazy characters who are appearing in this summer’s production of SPAMALOT! Keep checking back to learn more about some of the different actors in the cast!
Today, we meet Danielle Carnagua! She’s a BOBDIREX newbie!
Q: What role(s) do you have in SPAMALOT?
A: My main role in the show is a Laker Girl; however I play many other characters throughout the performance. These characters include Eponine, a showgirl, a towny, a rainy day girl, and a fag hag dancer.
Q: Since this is your first BOBDIREX show, what’s it like to work with Bob Harbin?
A: I haven’t gotten to work with Bob much since we have only been working on singing and dancing with Trevor Fanning and Kenny Shepard (who are AMAZING). The little time I have gotten to spend time with Bob has been awesome. He has so many great ideas for this show that he has explained to us and I can’t wait to see them all come to life on stage! I hope to work with him in the future.
Q: When you aren’t onstage, what do you do?
A: When I’m not on stage I go to school full time at IUPUI pursing a criminal justice major. I am also the co-owner of KNC Cleaning Services. When I’m not at work or school, most of my free time is spent with my amazing 4 year old son Devin. I also play co-ed football, softball, and soccer.
Q: After SPAMALOT, what’s next?
I do not currently have any theatre shows lined up after Spamalot. I was just asked to join Pur | The Company, owned by the wonderful Jenee Michelle (who is also a Laker Girl), as a part time principle dancer. This wonderful group of ladies performs twice a month at the Bu Da Lounge downtown and at the Mediterra each Friday.
Q: If you could play any role in any play/musical, what would it be?
I have my dream role narrowed down to two; it would either be Elphaba in Wicked or Eponine in Les Miserables.
SPAMALOT opens June 14th! – Get your tickets now!
