Preston Taylor on Taking Chances and Understudying on Broadway

You may have seen Preston Taylor at BYU, Hale Center Theater Orem, Sundance, Tuacahn, or Hale Centre Theatre. Or you may have seen him the ensembles of the MOULIN ROUGE touring company (understudy for Christian and the Duke) or THE GREAT GATSBY on Broadway (understudy for Tom and Wolfsheim), where he has been dazzling audiences for the last year. Also a model and influencer, he is featured in the recently unveiled marketing campaign for this year’s Broadway Bares charity event. Taylor spoke openly and genuinely with BroadwayWorld about making the leap from Utah to Broadway and working hard so you’re ready for the unexpected.
