From auditioning via self-tape while on tour with <em>Six <\/em>to flying out on off days for callbacks, it\u2019s \u201cevery actors dream,\u201d she said recently.<\/p>\n<p>I talked with Zan recently about her role in the show and how she got the part, the technical wizardry that brings the production to life and how she maintains a routine while on tour. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

You know, I was touring on the road with <em>Six, the Musical<\/em> for two years when I was submitting for this role, and I did most of my auditions via tape, so I sent in\u2026 I think I sent in maybe three times, and then I finally got the opportunity to travel to New York City to meet <strong>John Randal<\/strong>, the Director, and most of the creative team and some of the original creators of <em>Back to the Future<\/em> themselves, and then they flew me in one more time to have a little work session and from there, the rest is history, and then when we started.<\/p>\n<p>And then I continued being on the road with <em>Six<\/em>, so I hadn\u2019t gotten the opportunity to see the show, but when we started rehearsals, I had nine days between contracts and I snuck in a showing of the Broadway production, and it was like a kid in the candy store. I just remember like the magic of the theater taking over me and being like, \u201cHoly crud. I can\u2019t believe I get to be a part of this like awesome story and bring like so much joy and laughter to the audiences every night.\u201d I was truly like, \u201cHow are they doing this? How are they creating these iconic movie moments live on stage?\u201d It was thrilling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the time you left <em>Six<\/em> until you started the show, it was nine days?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> Yeah. I had nine days in between to pack up all of my things on the road with that tour and get everything shipped home. Then I went home for like four days to repack my things, say hi to my family, which is very important to me, and then head to New York to live there for a month while I rehearse the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I love just being non-stop like that. That\u2019s kind of the fun of it I think.<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> It\u2019s every actor\u2019s dream, so I was very grateful.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-912\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"912\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Is there anything totally different between the movie and the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> There are a few differences. The main difference that I love to point out is the original music. There\u2019s a lot of original music that sometimes isn\u2019t as broadcast as the iconic Huey Lewis songs that we know and love, \u201cPower of Love\u201d, things like that, but yeah, some of the original music in the show is really amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I saw a picture of you in character, you look totally different. Like, if you like walked right past me and I wouldn\u2019t recognize you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-913\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"913\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube<\/strong>: You would never know. I leave the stage door and I\u2019m incognito, I guess you could say.<\/p>\n<p>I have three gorgeous wigs that are all styled after the original <strong>Lea Thompson<\/strong>, Loraine Baines that everyone knows and obviously loves because she\u2019s incredible. So yeah, it\u2019s a short brunette wig styled in three different ways to represent my character traveling through time.<\/p>\n<p>You meet Loraine at the top of the show when she\u2019s 47, she has three kids and she has a drinking problem, and the wig is manifested in a little bit of dismay, but it\u2019s still gorgeous. They\u2019re styled by Jake. He\u2019s our wig supervisor. He\u2019s incredible. And then the iconic \u201950s wig is perfectly resemblant of the movie, and then she gets to go back in time, and she is reformed into a new 47-year-old type of woman, and it is stunning. Every time I put them on, I feel like a million bucks.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-914\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"914\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The show seems to have so many moving parts, technically. What do you think is the coolest part?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> Oh gosh. There are so many cool tech parts of the show. The LED wall is incredible, state of the art. Those projections and the LED designs that they have for the show are amazing. There\u2019s a projection in the top of Act 2 that I just think is slapstick comedy, absolutely incredible. We also have a moving turntable that will move a lot of our sets and at the end of Act 1, it\u2019s very cool. We call it \u2018chaos.\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of things happening all at once and a lot of faith in technology has to happen to make all this happen. And then there\u2019s something, the car, the car scenes you see in the movie do come to life on stage. So that\u2019s all I\u2019ll say about that. But those are some of my favorite parts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20width=%221280%22%20height=%22720%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"ezlazyload wp-image-188029\" data-ezsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Back-to-the-Furute-the-Musical-Scene.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Back-to-the-Furute-the-Musical-Scene-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Back-to-the-Furute-the-Musical-Scene-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Back-to-the-Furute-the-Musical-Scene-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-ezsrc=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Back-to-the-Furute-the-Musical-Scene.jpg\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sub>Back to the Future: The Musical National Tour: Zan Berube, Burke Swanson, Caden Brauch and Company. Photo by Matthew Murphy &amp; Evan Zimmerman<\/sub><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was in a show with a turntable once, and that sucker would break like once a week, and we\u2019d just be sitting there waiting for it to turn back on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-915\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"915\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> That\u2019s the worst. Thankfully they have a pretty good system going, and I think because we do eight shows a week, it has to be very reliable and it has to travel, so it has to be sturdy. But, yeah, there are days where I\u2019m like, \u201cOoh, gosh, for crossing my fingers.\u201d But no, it\u2019s been really good so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You said you were called into New York to have a work session. What did that entail? Working with the other actors who you might be paired up with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> No. That is a chemistry read. I have been a part of those, those are awesome too. But for this one, it was just me and the director and basically, they had given me notes and I had taken those notes, but I think there was like this inkling that was like, \u201cLet\u2019s just bring her in one more time to work with her again.\u201d So, I worked with the director. There was a reader in the room. The amazing casting office of <strong>Tara Rubin<\/strong> was there. And then everything I had done that day was taped and sent for final discussion for the UK team until they approved it.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-916\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"916\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you based in New York?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> Yeah. I\u2019m based in New York, but I am from Boston, Massachusetts. So, I get a little bit of close proximity to go back and forth from home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0You were in <em>Six<\/em>. How was your time on that? I loved that show.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> Oh my gosh. It was amazing. I mean, what a beautiful trampoline to start me into this whole career. I graduated in 2020 from the University of Michigan, and then I had a year in New York City before I started <em>Six<\/em> and it was awesome. I mean, my cast was fantastic. Those women have stuck with me since and I hope they\u2019ll stick with me for the rest of my life. The show is freaking awesome. I mean, 80 minutes of pure bliss, nonstop on your feet. Incredible songs, awesome storytelling. Like it\u2019s a dream of my first show, so I couldn\u2019t be more lucky.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-917\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"917\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>You graduated in 2020. What was your year like before you got <em>Six<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube: <\/strong>Well, I\u2019m sure you remember, but take us back. Don\u2019t actually, don\u2019t take us back to 2020. It was a scary time, my friend. I graduated into a field that virtually didn\u2019t exist for like most of that year. I didn\u2019t get to do a lot of the things that an actor usually does post-graduation, they showcase, they go to NYC, they meet representation, they start auditioning.<\/p>\n<p>But I just went home and crossed my fingers that the industry would open up again. And then I was fortunate enough through my program to get represented. So, they would submit me for TV and film and we\u2019d do it all virtually until I finally moved to the city and I started the grind. I started auditioning, I started nannying, I started catering. And I did the whole thing until I finally was in the final round for <em>Six<\/em>. And someone was on my side because they gave this fresh out of college girl an opportunity to tell a story on the big stage.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-918\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"918\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>When I do a show, I feel like weeks into the run when I remember where everything is and where I need to go and where this is and that is. When you\u2019re in a different theater almost every week, how in the heck do you find out the lay of the backstage land?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> I mean, sometimes I don\u2019t. Sometimes I forget what city I\u2019m in and where the bathroom is backstage, how I get to my dressing room. It\u2019s nice when we have these longer sit-downs because you become very acclimated, and you get to form a routine. Your traffic and your blocking backstage is just as important as your traffic and blocking onstage. Especially in a show like <em>Back to the Future<\/em>, because there are so many moving parts and there are so many things happening backstage that are dangerous if you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going. So, the orientation process of it all is very important.<\/p>\n<p>That first Tuesday in a new city, you can\u2019t just like close your eyes or just nod or slack off. You actually do have to pay attention. \u00a0Our company manager will make a speech and then our stage manager will make a speech. And that stage management speech is basically all about safety. What level the lights are at, where the spot ops are at, what you can expect on the lip of the stage. \u201cIt\u2019s only a six-inch depth, so be careful when you run to the\u2026 There\u2019s a net on the orchestra in the city. There isn\u2019t a net on the orchestra in the city.\u201d Things like that.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-919\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"919\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And sometimes our depths change on the stage. When our flies come in, maybe there\u2019ll be more upstage or downstage. They\u2019ll tell us what it\u2019s like offstage. The calling desk will be on stage left this week instead of stage right.<\/p>\n<p>And that first Tuesday is all about figuring it out and trusting the process. So usually once you have one show, it starts snowballing from there. But yeah, just gotta keep your eyes open.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You mentioned routine. If my routine gets screwed up and I\u2019m talking about my daily routine, my day\u2019s kind of messed up. How do you set a routine when you\u2019re in a hotel room going from city to city to maintain some balance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-920\" data-method=\"placement-service\"\/><span data-ez-ph-id=\"920\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zan Berube:<\/strong> You have to be flexible. You can\u2019t be precious about it, because your space is constantly changing. Sometimes I have room for a yoga mat, sometimes I don\u2019t. Know what\u2019s important to you and know what you need to have yourself most prepared but know that sometimes you do need to change what that looks like. Sometimes you\u2019ll have to get to the theater early because you won\u2019t have space in your hotel room, or sometimes you need to move your humidifier because there\u2019s no side table next to it. It\u2019s really all about breathing and knowing that like, everything\u2019s going to be okay, we\u2019re all malleable and you can mostly get everything that you need done, even though it\u2019s going to be a different space.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Back to the Future i<\/em>s currently playing at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
