During a chat with Newsweek, actor Nikki DeLoach spoke fondly of her time on the show but detailed the intense work schedule.
A former member of the All-New Mickey Mouse Club told Newsweek that the TV show was 'Juilliard on steroids for kids,' comparing the program to the prestigious performing arts school in New York City.Nikki DeLoach, 44, is a mother-of-two and an actor known for her roles in the TV series Awkward, North Shore and Days of Our Lives as well as multiple Hallmark movies. But she got her start on the All-New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993 when she was 12 years old.
'I get to meet people these days from Colombia and from Europe, and from all over, who grew up watching the Mickey Mouse Club...'And so it's really nice to hear those stories from people and how much the Mickey Mouse Club impacted them. We didn't know because we were living in this little bubble in Orlando. And obviously, you know, there was no social media or cellphones or anything like that, and what a gift.
