Happily Eva Afta Actor: Jaydence Goya


What brought you to Ohia Productions?  I was asked to understudy a Dancing Princess role in Happily 2005 by the choreographer, Sonia Infante.
  
What do you enjoy the most about being in this production?  It gives me the wonderful opportunity to share the stage with some of Hawaii’s most talented performers, while being able to help bring Lisa’s work to life!

What character do you play and how much of your own personality is in that character?  I play the role of “Dancing Princess Sandy.” I would say that I do have a bit of Sandy’s fun and outgoing personality.

What's your favorite musical number in the show?  I enjoy dancing with the Menehunes in “Happy Birthday Lokelani!” but really LOVE the closing company number, “Magic of the Mind.”

Any fun behind the scenes trivia you'd like to share about the show?  There is a real family of 4 in the show. Can you guess who they are?

What do you hope the audience will take with them after seeing the show?  I hope the take away is: We are so fortunate to live in a such a special place, and it’s so wonderful to be able to celebrate the people and culture around us. And, what better way to share this than through live musical theatre!

Are you a University of Hawaii alumnus?  If so, what was your major and fondest memory of UH?  YES! BBA in Marketing. Too many memories to count, but attending FROSH Camp as an incoming Freshman – through that, I received an introduction to the amazingly talented, Lisa Matsumoto! Was also a member of the UH Cheer Team – supporting UH Athletics.
