Three dream roles have so far eluded Linedy Genao . The star of The Great Gatsby might be plenty busy playing 'Myrtle Wilson' eight times a week at the Broadway Theatre, but her heart is set on playing these three characters someday. So cast her already!

"I resonate so much with [her] because she's fun, she's quirky. I grew up in a really strict household, just like [her]. She's boxed in... so to see her flourish at the end is something that I love and something that I aspire to be able to do, because I'm still a little bit boxed in sometimes!" Can you guess which character she's talking about?

In this episode, Linedy is joined by Dave Klodowski at the beautiful Laurie Beechman Theatre to sing through the roles that she hopes to play one day. Watch in this video!

Linedy was named to Variety’s prestigious “Actors to Watch” list, making history as the first Latina to originate a leading role in an Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway musical. Broadway: Bad Cinderella, On Your Feet!, Dear Evan Hansen.

Schmigadoon!

Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada cannot be stopped! Just after the couple joined the West End company of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club last fall, they officially tied the knot. Now they are back onstage together again, this time on Broadway in The Great Gatsby- Noblezada reprising the role she created, Daisy, and Carney stepping into Jay Gatsby's shoes. Watch in this video as both chat more about the joys of being onstage together again!

Matthew Saldívar will join The Great Gatsby on Broadway. Saldívar joins the show’s principal cast, which also features original star and Tony Award nominee Eva Noblezada, Reeve Carney and more.

Ahead of hosting the 2026 Tony Awards, P!NK shared a video of herself setting foot on The Broadway Theatre's stage during the curtain call of The Great Gatsby, meaning she has technically been on Broadway before the Tonys.
