Meghan Gratzer is a musical theater actress born and raised in Queens, NY! After graduating from LIU Post with a BFA in Musical Theater, she booked her dream role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at a regional theater. Her Cairn Terrier, Rudy, was even hired as Toto! Meghan spent 2017-2019 traveling the world with Royal Caribbean. First, she spent a year on the Independence of the Seas playing the role of Frenchy in Grease & then booked Penny in RCCL’s takeout cast of Hairspray on their brand new ship, Symphony of the Seas. She even met her Welsh fiancé while traveling the world, too!
Meghan was just recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 26 and has gone public with her battle to help raise awareness. Being a performer, our appearance is part of our livelihood. She touches on important topics, such as hair loss, and is educating her followers on what not to say to someone going through a cancer diagnosis!
Meghan and her fiancé have also been making music together while being apart (@mountainsinmanhattan). You can find their music on all streaming platforms!
In this episode, you'll hear Meghan chat candidly with host Maggie Bera about her journey in the theatre industry, working on cruise ships, her relationship with her fiancé, the importance of taking care of yourself and how the pandemic ultimately saved her life.
