Creatively Me Keala Settle - "The Greatest Showman", "Wicked" & Finding Her Voice
Superstar Keala Settle joins Daniel on this Friday's episode of "Creatively Me".
Keala became known to many when she gained international attention for her breakout role as the Bearded Lady Lettie Lutz in the 2017 musical phenomenon "The Greatest Showman", where her performance of the anthem "This Is Me" became a cultural moment in its own right — earning her a standing ovation at the Oscars when she performed. The song itself earned a Golden Globe win for Best Original Song.
But Keala’s journey to that moment is just as compelling. A seasoned Broadway performer, she’s appeared in shows like "Les Misérables" and "Waitress".
She was nominated for a Tony Award in 2013, has received widespread acclaim for her raw, soulful voice and commanding stage presence, and appeared in one of the biggest films of last year, "Wicked" alongside Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Beyond the stage and screen, she’s been open about the personal challenges she’s faced and how she’s found strength, resilience, and identity through performance.
On today’s episode, Keala talks about her path from Hawaii to Broadway, the whirlwind that was "The Greatest Showman", and how she’s redefining success and creativity on her own terms.
All of this & more on today's episode of "Creatively Me".
