Send us Fan Mail There is a version of success that looks amazing from the outside. The lights. The stage. The music. The applause. Christopher Ma has lived inside that world for years. As an International Musical Director he has worked across continents, from India to Spain, directing some of the most iconic productions in the world. His credits include Wicked, The Great Gatsby, Newsies, Why Am I So Single? and Disney. He has stood in the wings of stages that most musicians only dream of. And he has done it night after night, country after country, holding everything together while nobody in the audience ever knew his name. But the story he came to tell today is not the one you would expect. Because behind every show, behind every standing ovation, there is a person. And that person has a story that almost never gets told. In this episode Christopher and Katarzyna talk about what it truly means to live a life in music, what it costs to be invisible every night while holding everything together for everyone else, the moment sitting in a theatre audience that changed the direction of his entire life, what he had to let go of and who he had to stop being to become who he is now, how Wicked, a story about being misunderstood, became deeply personal, what the hardest part of this life really is and why most people have it completely wrong, and what he would whisper to his younger self just before the moment that changed everything.

The most important journey any of us takes is not across continents. It is the one back to ourselves. Guest: Christopher Ma, International Musical Director. Credits include Wicked, The Great Gatsby, Newsies, Why Am I So Single? and Disney. Currently working with Disney. Host: Katarzyna Krawiecka, author, family constellations practitioner, founder of Legacy Architects.
