Juliana Canfield takes NYLON behind the scenes of her Broadway debut for David Adjmi's 'Stereophonic,' which runs through Aug. 18 at the John Golden Theatre.
Some rock-'n'-roll edge for Broadway’s buzziest new play.Juliana Canfield is hyper aware of how she’s using her voice these days. The actor, who marked her Broadway debut on April 19 as Holly in— which follows a ‘70s band on the precipice of hitting it big — would even go so far as to say she’s made of tea: “I'm mostly Throat Coat and ginger tea,” she jokes from her apartment.
It’s a mindfulness that extended to celebrating the play’s opening night, where she wanted to treat the after party like a bonafide rock concert — until her vocal coach’s voice would pop into her head. “What I really wanted to do is just go completely screamo,” she tells NYLON. “I was so giddy with excitement, but then I could hear our vocal coaches in my ear saying: and then, by arriving early to the John Golden Theatre to take it all in and center herself.
For Canfield, playing Holly is the opposite of a one-note performance: “She feels like the whole keyboard.” She played the role duringoff-Broadway run last fall and notes her immense pride and ownership over it, especially how the music feels tailored to highlight her and her cast mates’ strengths. “I think when originating a part, there's a certain sense of breaking ground. We as a cast, as a company, broke ground on this together and we're just getting to dig deeper and deeper in.
