From her debut at 7 in The King & I to being one of the youngest graduates from WAAPA's Music Theatre course, she swiftly ascended to lead roles in renowned musicals worldwide. Sir Cameron Mackintosh's invitation to play Fantine in Les Miserables broadened her international presence, performing in various locations including the West End in London. Her diverse musical credits include Nala in Disney's The Lion King, alternating as Elphaba in Wicked, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and recently, Erzulie in Once On This Island.

His compositions, often categorized as Classical, Christian, and New Age, have garnered over 3 billion lifetime streams and have earned him a position as one of the most listened-to recording artists of our time.Early Life and Health StrugglesPaul's music is deeply personal, born out of a life marked by resilience and compassion. He was born with a congenital heart condition, essentially having half a heart. His infancy was marked by numerous surgeries to save his life, and this pattern of hospital visits and surgeries continued throughout his life. In 2009, he received a life-saving heart transplant, an experience that profoundly influenced his music and purpose.Paul's own struggles with chronic illness have fueled his commitment to creating music that serves as a source of healing, both physically and emotionally, for himself and others.Musical Journey and AchievementsIn 1999, Paul founded Stone Angel Music, an independent record label aimed at producing, marketing, and distributing his recordings. His music gained significant recognition when he signed a multi-album deal with Narada, an affiliate of Virgin Records. Notably, his album "The Christmas Box" debuted at #22 on Billboard's New Age Chart.Over the years, Paul has released a string of successful albums, including "Primary Worship," "The Hymns Collection," "Living for Eden," and "New Life," many of which have secured top positions on the Billboard charts.Paul's collaborative efforts with Grammy-winning artists such as CeCe Winans and Rachel Yamagata have further solidified his place in the music industry. His dedication extends beyond music, with involvement in charitable causes, scholarships for students affected by medical bills associated with congenital heart disease, and collaborations with organizations like Operation Underground Railroad.Legacy and "Return Home"In September 2019, Paul released "Peaceful Piano," an album of improvised piano solos reflecting on his decade surviving with a donor heart. This marked a turning point in his creative process, inspiring him to record a series of improvisational pieces reflecting on his European heritage and ancestry.The resulting album, "Return Home," is a profoundly introspective work featuring 13 pieces for piano. The unique aspect of this album lies in the fact that Paul entered the studio without any preconceived material, allowing the music to flow organically. The pieces take listeners on a cinematic journey through the lands of his ancestors, incorporating various musical styles and influences that pay homage to his heritage.Paul Cardall's musical journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the ability of music to heal and connect us to our roots.Conclusion and Continued PhilanthropyApart from his musical endeavors, Paul continues to be actively involved in philanthropy, partnering with organizations like The Ryan Seacrest Foundation to provide keyboards to children's hospitals and establishing scholarships for students affected by congenital heart disease.For more about Paul Cardall and his musical journey, visit Paul Cardall's official website.

Tony Award Winning Playwright Itamar Moses stopped by Playwright's Spotlight. Chock full of humorous moments, Itamar shares his experience adapting the cherished animated film An American Tale for the stage, children's ability to suspend disbelief, and avoiding dumbing down the material for a younger audience.

In addition, we talk about the impact of Tony Kushner's Angels in America in Itamar's playwriting career, his journey through NYU and pathway to the Tony's, craft vs voice and ambition, how to make something work, and the importance of always getting the story right first. We close the conversation with getting commissioned and what it entails as well as the death of theatre.
