BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Sioux City, Iowa teen Mackenzie Crawford is 6’4”, has all sorts of volleyball honors, and could easily play at the collegiate level — and she might — but her heart belongs to Broadway.
I'm your Southwest Iowa reporter Katrina Markel and I caught up with the seasoned performer between high school activities.
Crawford has been invited to study and even perform with Broadway star Kristen Chenoweth.
Now, Broadway is even closer... she’s one of five national finalists in a competition... where people all across the country can vote on rising stars...
CRAWFORD: “Because I'm in my college audition process, I've already had like pre-screen videos recorded ... and just submitted that, not knowing this competition was like this huge thing. So, I just submitted a video that I already had and it just kind went from there, I guess."
The website Broadway World is the sponsor.
Judges will pick the winner, who will get a college scholarship.
You can vote for her to be a top 3 finalist and perform in the Big Apple at: broadwayworld.com/nextonstagehighschool/mackenzie-crawford
She has ties to the Glenwood area, her grandpa, Pete Jacobus, served for years as the high school band director.
