Exclusive Interview: Nick LaMedica of ‘The Lion King’
This is a real circle-of-life moment for me, as someone who has been a lover and critic of Broadway and theater in general for quite some time, finally getting to see The Lion King on stage for the first time! I know what you’re thinking: how have I been to New York City so many times and have yet to see this classic Broadway musical before? I’ve been wondering that for years, but finally the time has come and I can’t be more excited! We recently spoke with Nick LaMedica, who plays Zazu in the touring production, about his time in this musical, which is also a real circle-of-life moment for him!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, LaMedica discusses how he’s gone from a young man seeing The Lion King on stage as one of his first musicals to now starring in a production and spreading that joy with other families! Nick LaMedica discusses the intricacies of bringing Zazu to life, as it takes special puppetry, and how there’s nothing quite like being on stage amidst the Disney magic night after night!
