The role of Christine in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” is one of the most challenging and demanding in live stage production. This is by design. The character goes through a major transformation and any actress portraying her must embody the range from insecure girl to that of a woman who navigates tremendous trials and emerges stronger. It’s a tale of self-discovery coupled with strength. For the past two years, Eva Tavares has been Christine in the Networks Touring production of this legendary tale. There’s something beyond the singing and acting ability Ms. Tavares brings to the role; an invisible undercurrent. That might have something to do with her own transformation. While she planned on pursuing a professional career as a dancer, a simple suggestion to pursue vocal training led her down a path of being propelled into the spotlight for other talents. In the same way Christine became the center of attention in this musical, Eva has appeared throughout Canada and U...

Karlee Squires is a time traveler. It might be more relatable to say that she is the type of triple threat entertainer that was more prominent in the early days of Hollywood but the essence of the statement is true. As an actor/dancer/singer she contrasts a world of entertainers that (for the majority) wish to specialize in one field. Action star, dancer, singer…these are labels which allow the public to quickly distinguish what they think they prefer. Squires has much more in common with the Hollywood stars of the early last century and those of modern Broadway than any genre specific individual you might be more familiar with. Don’t hold onto that idea too long though; Karlee is finding herself cast in a number of international productions. Her appearances these days are eclectic and it’s her contention that her early days in live theater are what prepared her for these. One of the most beloved and classic of these is Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man” which first made its mark on Br...

I already have other channels for music, voice-over...
