Leanna Rae Concepcion: From Combat Boots To Broadway

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

How often can someone say they traded military precision for the unpredictability of the arts? Meet Leanna Concepcion, a woman whose journey from military school to Broadway is as fascinating as it is inspiring. An unexpected transition, Leanna shares how her skills from military school - discipline, tactfulness, leadership - became her arsenal in the world of theater. She reveals the trials of navigating college auditions, the unwavering support of her mother and the struggle to be understood beyond her outward enthusiasm.

A former dancer, Leanna shares how her regimented training sculpted not just her dance routine but her life. She talks about the importance of loyalty to oneself, setting boundaries, trusting one's instincts and, most of all, living in the present. As our conversation deepens, she opens up about her journey of self-discovery, learning to shift perspective instead of trying to fix everything. We also explore the beauty of our industry and how the connections we make stay with us throughout our journey.

Listen in as Leanna takes us through her highs and lows, her dreams and fears, and her never-ending quest to be true to herself. She shares what makes her tick, what makes her laugh, and what inspires her. We also get a glimpse of Leanna's energetic choices, her survival stories, and her future dreams. As we wrap up, we reflect on the top three things that have happened to her today and what she is looking forward to in the future. This is a conversation not to be missed, an exploration of self, artistry and the beauty of imperfection."
