Karen Burthwright

I had the honor of seeing ‘Tina! The Tina Turner Musical’ @tinabroadway and then had the amazing opportunity to get a dance lesson from the show’s understudy and dance captain @kburth Karen is so talented and have a passion for the arts. She showed me those moves and I thought, sure, that’s easy. Ha! I was fooling myself because when the music played, I was spinning every way, but right. It was such a blast to dance with her, but even more special to sit down and hear her story. Thank you to @operformingarts for making this story and session happen. I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it on Broadway, but Karen says I’m well on my way.

It is not lost on me the privilege of being back at this particular theatre. The history, the significance, all the greats that have performed here, all that I’ve experienced since I was last here, the joy of returning as the artist I am now, and of course the obvious blessing of being in another @mirvishproductions show. My performance in this return to this hallowed stage is dedicated to Eric Fink, Victor Young, and Lucy Walsh. Come see @telltaleharbour staring @alanthomasdoyle Sept 23rd-Nov 2nd! Get your tickets now cause we’re almost completely sold out! I’ll be at the legion tending bar! . . . ‘#telltaleharbour #louise #actor #royalalexandratheatre #canadianmusicals #toronto #mirvish #copro #myfaceisbackonkingst #musicaltheatre #stilllivingmydream #justagirlfromto✈️💃🏾❤️💫🙌🏾🙏🏾😍😷🎭🇯🇲🇨🇦 🇺🇸

I love the heart smack dab in the middle of this here photo montage template. It is perfect because my heart was so full and centered for this project. I made art in a space with my actual peers. There were people that looked like me EVERYWHERE. I love a diverse set! They were heads of departments, they were producers, they were directing, they were acting alongside me, they beat the heck outta my face, they laid my hairs down, and they dripped me all the way out. And those that didn’t look like me were at the top of their game working hard, working smart, and working in a space of kindness, fun, and professionalism. There were also about 14 James’!! LOL! This whole team and crew all showed up and showed out! I’ve never had so much fun on a set in my life. I felt seen, I learned so much, I had to get ‘er done, and I watched as others shared their craft beautifully. Did I mention the ridiculous amount of Jamaicans on this here project?!? It was bananas! Too many jokes, laughs, moments of absolute foolishness and celebration pon di set! A huge thank you to my agent @__dan88__ at @talenthouseca , @nicolehforde , our director @marvingtowns , every producer and crew member on this production, and @gmonwilliams for reading with me for this audition! Huge shout outs to our leading actor (the incomparable) @grahamgabrielle , and her leading man @mykeeselkin ! Okay, its time to get to @betplus , and enjoy Holy Hustle everyone!! #holyhustle #betplus #mrscollins #9/4/25
