Bernardo also lists this role as a “bucket list” part, and says “It is easily the hardest role I have ever performed; challenging and extremely demanding music.” Hannah Kulawiak, last seen on our stage as Wednesday in <em>The Addams Family</em>, says she has been coveting the part of Johanna since she was in the ensemble at Hathaway Brown three years ago, when she played the role of the oven.</span></span></p>
