Meet Mackenzie Lesser-Roy

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.

Don’t miss Nile in Once, running Mar 1-30, 2019.
