My dear friend andย #MonsoonWeddingMusical(@berkeleyrep ) cast-mateย @michaelmaliakelย and I go IN on this topic. Currently on the road withย @phantomtourย and making history as the FIRST ASIAN IN A PRINCIPLE ROLE (Raoul), Michael took time to share some gems in his brain, including but not limited to:โฃ
โฃ
-keeping yourself motivated when youโre not seeing representation in your chosen field of pursuit. In his case, the opera world.โฃ
- how his parents, Malayali-Christians fromย #Kerala, supported him in his passion(s), even though they didnโt necessarily โunderstandโ it.โฃ
- Double-consciousnesses as an artist straddling two worlds and cultures. โฃ
