I got to see Domenick Napoli perform in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at the Cultural Arts Playhouse in Syosset last September and loved everything I heard and saw - which is why the second I noticed he was starring in School of Rock at the Cultural Arts Playhouse in Merrick, I had to reach out. I had the best time connecting with him during this conversation! Not only is he massively talented, but he is kind and funny too!

Here’s a bit of what we chatted about:

🎭 School of Rock! Why playing the role of Dewey Finn is important to him and some of the challenges he faced during the rehearsal process

⭐️ His favorite moment in the show that he isn’t a part of!

🎲 A little “This or That”

🎭 Some favorite/funny theater memories

🎸 He’s in a band called 39 Smooth with a single coming in May - and I’ve got a teaser!

Thank you again to Domenick for spending the time with me and thank you all for supporting The Kyle Petty Show and live theater here on Long Island! 💜

Sometimes it feels there is a disconnect between Long Island Theater performers and the theaters they perform in and I think it’s important to chat about 🙃

There was a situation with a Children’s Theater production and a Long Island based theater that was brought to me that I felt needed to be addressed - but I also see this as an opportunity to discuss the disparity between Children’s Theater performers vs. Mainstage performers as well as ALL Long Island Theater performers and their respective theaters. 👀

Let’s begin conversation that is conducive to a productive result! I hope this can be the beginning of that. 💜

Shea McMahon has apparently had beef with me for months and this only came to light when we shared the stage during A CHRISTMAS CAROL at CM Performing Arts Center - so I’m absolutely *chuffed* that she decided to spend some time with me on The Kyle Petty Show! Here’s a bit of what we chatted about:

🎭 Everything Cats at CM Performing Arts Center! From her attachment to the show, to the rehearsal process, all the way to her inspiration for the set design!

⭐️ Her experience performing for children and why it resonates with her

👀 A bit about her experience thus far in Descendants at The Argyle Theater

❎ The disparity between how Children’s Theater performers are treated vs Mainstage performers

🎲 A little “This or That”

You’ll hear this in the conversation but my cheeks hurt after this one! I had an absolute blast and I’m so glad Shea has forgiven me 😂 thank you again for spending the time with me and thank you all for supporting The Kyle Petty Show and live theater here on Long Island! 💜
