Nina Pressing | A Powerful Voice… A Life on Stage… A Story to Tell

A powerful conversation with Nina Pressing. In this episode of Voices of Starlight, I sit down with Nina Pressing—a respected and accomplished musical theater artist in Sweden—whose career spans leading roles in productions like Evita, Cats, Chicago, West Side Story, and more. Nina and I shared the stage together in Starlight Express during its 10-year anniversary run in Bochum (1997–1998)… she as Pearl… me as Rocky 3. In this conversation, we revisit that chapter… and go deeper. We talk about: * What it’s like to perform eight shows a week—and why she loved it * The energy of the audience and the power of connection * Her journey from early beginnings to leading roles * The transition from performer to artist… and continuing to grow * Her current work, including her show “Liza to Nina” This is more than a conversation about theater… It’s about discipline, passion, growth, and what it means to stay in the work over time. If you listen closely, you’ll find something here that speaks to where you are right now. 🎙️ Living Strong is about showing up, doing the work, and discovering who you are through the process. If something in this conversation resonates with you… I’d love to hear what that is. 👉 Learn more about the Living Strong community: https://LivingStrongTribe.com [https://LivingStrongTribe.com]
