Broadway Confidential: War Horse

 There is much more to a musical than the song and dance onstage – musicals ask profound questions and provide a glimpse into American history and culture. Broadway Confidential is a FREE series of engagements, designed by Hennepin Theatre Trust, to answer these questions and provide a deeper understanding of the material you see onstage.

Speaker: War Horse cast member, Rob Laqui

Rob’s role is the “Hind” of Joey.
