Mackenzie Lesser-Roy might be making her SpeakEasy debut, but she’s no stranger to Boston or this show. After leaving Boston Conservatory in her junior year to join the national tour of Once, Mackenzie performed the role of “Girl” at over 300 performances. We sat down with Mackenzie to talk about what makes Once so special, and how performing it at SpeakEasy is a whole new adventure.

Nile Scott Hawver is back at SpeakEasy for his third show on our stage, having previously played Will in Mothers and Sons and Monty in Violet (2016). But what SpeakEasy fans might not know is that over the past two or three seasons, much of SpeakEasy’s poster photography and show photography was shot by Nile. With talents both onstage and behind the camera, we sat down with Nile to see if there was anything he couldn’t do.

Don’t miss Nile in Once, running Mar 1-Apr 7, 2019.
