24 Hours With Broadway Actress Denée Benton

As Denée Benton declares, the life of a broadway actress is “not for punks!” Benton appears eight times a week opposite Josh Groban in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 as the titular Natasha, a 19th-century Russian aristocrat. Benton takes Vogue behind the scenes from rehearsals to vocal warm-ups in her dressing room, and everywhere in between.

[@claddagh1826]

her attitude is really really offputting, not that it matters. when she called herself a great actress in that katie couric interview, though . . . . girl has let this all go to her head.

[@rileysmith3233]

claddagh182 what interview is this?

[@claddagh1826]

um, some interview katie couric did with denee benton and lucas steele and some other people i don't remember. maybe dave malloy and rachael chavkin? i think it was a month or two ago? i am assuming it was for yahoo since she works for it.

[@ellielovegood6307]

Well she is a great actress
