From The King & I on Broadway to Fatboy Slim's musical, Jose Llana is no stranger to performing at the highest levels. But as a young, gay, Asian-American immigrant, his path was anything but assured. In this chat with Janelle, Jose unpacks Filipino karaoke culture, reveals how he talked his way into his first big audition, and reflects on the ever-evolving theater industry. (And, yes, he sings for us, too.)
