Perseverance and Resilience with DJ Plunkett

Today Kirk talks with his friend, DJ Plunkett.  DJ is currently on tour in the national tour of the Broadway musical, WICKED, where he plays Boq.  In today’s episode, Kirk and DJ talk about his journey to the stage, how he coped with the stress of a COVID-forced sabbatical, and how he feels now that he’s back on tour.

DJ mentioned a “sing through” in the lobby; there’s no footage of that, but there is this great piece from the local news in Dallas, TX about the show’s reopening: https://cbsloc.al/3rQaswH
