In this episode, we chat with Dee Wright Kelly, daughter of Samuel E. Wright (Voice of Sebastian the Crab and the original Mufasa in The Lion King on Broadway.) Dee takes us through hers and her fathers careers, we reminisce on fond memories from my time at their family’s Performing Arts School, The Hudson Valley Conservatory, and we begin to discuss the unfortunate time of when her father was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Tune in to hear the story of an incredible man, mentor and teacher and how his family began their grief journey.
If you would like to honor Sam's legacy, please support the arts. If you are in the tri-state area and looking for entertainment, head to Sam's theater, The New Rose Theater in Walden NY for their performance of Cinderella.
