West Side Story star Shereen Pimentel joins Coach Joe Rosko of Built for the Stage for Playbill’s Motivation Monday November 23 to discuss fitness, singing and dancing, and life during the pandemic. Watch the interview above beginning at 11:30 AM ET.
Pimentel made waves earlier this year as Maria in the 2020 revival of West Side Story, but the performer actually made her Broadway debut in 2009 as Young Nala in The Lion King. On top of starring in the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical, Pimentel graduated this past summer from Juilliard with a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance.
