Description

Thank you for your interest in my CD, "Defying Gravity." I'm an actress currently on tour as the Clara understudy in The Light in the Piazza, having recently toured the country as Cosette in Les Miserables. Rather than just rattle off the rest of my resume, I thought you might want to know a bit about what got me into theatre in the first place.

According to my family, I was always dramatic. (Go ahead and laugh, because I'm laughing even as I say that to myself!) I used to watch all the classic movie musicals and then proceed to act them out! My family has always enjoyed going to the theatre, so we used to go to whatever musical was in town. I always liked doing that, but it wasn't until we went to Toronto to see The Phantom of the Opera that I totally fell in love with musical theatre.

Eventually, I started going to some summer performing arts camps and taking many more dance classes. And for some reason my Uncle Rick asked me to sing in his wedding when I was about 13 years old. (Maybe because I was too old to be a flower girl and too young to be a bride's maid?) I don't think anybody really knew if I could sing very well at that point, so he took a big chance on me! Well, the pressure of that got me into voice lessons that eventually led to choir and theatre... and then I was hooked for good!

I feel so at home when I'm performing. Once I got started in theatre, it seemed like it was only natural to continue to pursue it. I have an incredibly supportive group of friends and family to thank for much of my success. I hope I continue to make them proud. I've been truly lucky so far!

Recording is my absolute favorite way to sing. It's so great to be able to hear every little thing. The perfectionist in me just LOVES that. To be able to make it better and be so intimate at the same time. When I record, even though I'm sitting in a studio singing to a microphone, I pour my soul into the music. I hope you can hear that when you listen to my CD.

Again, thank you for checking out my CD. If you want to see more of me, please check out my website. www.lesliehenstock.com. There are lots of pictures, my complete resume, some reviews, and my current performance schedule, as well as updates about my CD, and what else I might be doing. Also, you can contact me through my website. I love hearing from people, so please send me a note if you feel like it!
