This week, our friend and Broadway performer Andrew Stevens Purdy joins us for a nostalgic deep dive into The Life of a Music Theatre Major.

A decade after first stepping onto Elon University’s campus, we rewind to those nerve-wracking college auditions, the excitement of getting in, and what made us choose Elon in the first place. We talk about the highs, the hardships, and the chaos that comes with a music theatre degree — a college experience that’s anything but typical.

We also open up about what it was like graduating in 2020, how the pandemic flipped our plans upside down, and the lessons we’ve learned since — both in art and in life. Andrew shares his journey from those college days to The Book of Mormon on Broadway, where he’s now three years and nearly 1,200 performances in.

It’s a nostalgic conversation about the unpredictable path of chasing your dreams.
