Layan Elwazani is currently a standby for The Band's Visit, which is playing right now at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City. Layan has an extensive knowledge about Stephen Sondheim and has even had the chance to be in a couple of productions of West Side Story. She brings with her an actor's outlook that is fascinating to hear, especially when it comes to the characters of Maria and Anita. It's a good thing this week features a song which is really a confrontation between them.
