Inside The Dressing Room of Broadway Actress Hannah Cruz

Today we’re touring the Broadway theatre dressing room of actress Hannah Cruz, who plays Svetlana in the musical Chess.

With the demanding pace of a Broadway run, she knew this space would become her true home base, so she made sure it felt both comforting and creatively energizing. Starring alongside veterans like Lea Michele and Aaron Tveit, Hannah was excited to learn she’d be stepping onto the Imperial Theatre stage—singing the very songs she listened to in her headphones more than a decade ago.

She shares what first drew her to the role, offers anecdotes from her audition, and explains how she prepares to walk out in front of over 1,000 guests every night.
