ABOUT THIS EPISODE
About This Episode:
This week on Stageworthy, Phil talks with Steffi DiDomenicantonio: actor, musical theatre artist, and Canadian Idol alumna better known as Steffi D. From the very first question, the conversation takes off into a frank and energetic discussion about the state of musical theatre in Canada: the shortage of venues, the lack of homegrown stars, the price of tickets, and more.
Guest: 🎤 Steffi DiDomenicantonio
Montreal born and Ottawa raised Steffi DiDomenicantonio is a bilingual Dora Award nominated performer who has appeared on stages and screens for almost 20 years.

On the small screen, she has appeared in over 60 TV shows, movies and commercials including Transplant, Frankie Drake, The Umbrella Academy, Mayday, Star Trek, Crawford, Murdoch Mysteries, Stage Fright (with Meatloaf) and Chucky.
Steffi was named after tennis legend Steffi Graf and she is a proud Italian French-Canadian musical theatre nerd slash Liza Minnelli lookalike who loves karaoke, trivia, thrifting, horror movies, poutine and Taylor Swift, all at once or separately and in no particular order.
