Argentine triple-threat beauty Maia Reficco made her Broadway debut this July in Hadestown! One thing she is not, however, is inexperienced in the role of a lead. Coming off season two of Pretty Little Liars : Summer School and having a vast musical theater backround, the veteran is also getting close to releasing her much-anticipated album.

There is also, of course, the handful of movies she finished filming, one even debuting this Fall (a cuban girls guide to tea and tomorrow movie)! Reficco is not stranger to our screens, but we look forward to seeing her shine one the stage.

How are you feeling about your new role as Eurydice in Hadestown?

I grew up in theater, and Broadway has been my dream since I was five years old, both the adult present-day Maia and the little girl Maia are bursting with joy right now because I get to make my dream comme true! I'm 24 years old, and I'm so lucky I get to live off what I love. I am very thankfull and want other little Argentinian girls to know they can do it, too.

It's not a secret, you are proud of your Argentinan backround.

How do you incorporate that into your work?

"Similar to how everything I do is from a woman's point of view, the same thing is true for being Argentine. I live in Argentina, I taught myself to sound like an american to get roles here. I was born in Boston and I have a passeport, but I grew up in Argentina" Maia Reficco lifted her maté to show me she was sitting here sipping her maté (the national drink of Argentina).

Maia Reficco says, "If I don't fight for representation in thse roles like the Latin women before me did, then no one else is going to do it for me. It's conscious decision, but also just in my nature.

Who do you take inspiration from?

"I look up to so many peaople - my favorite part of acting is meeting and learning from my peers- it's such a privilege and gift to work with so many young women and watch them approach our craft. The first that comes to mind is the girls! (her pretty little liars co-stars)

Going off of that, most people I work with, I leave the room in such awesome of them, I think it's when you learn the most. I just wrapped with Scott Foley (from The Girls One The Bus, the Max original series), and seeing him command a set was incredible to learn from.

I love Jenna Ortega (From Wednesday, the Netflix original series) I think she is brillant, and she makes room for Latinas. I'd say my biggest admiration is those whose humanity matches their talent.

You have an album releasing soon. How has it been finishing that up?

"I'm so excited! It's been such a puzzle to fit all my feelings and stories in one concise project. I've been writing this for almost four years. It's been a HUGE challenge. I first wrote a whole album in Spanish and then another in English, but neither of them felt like me. I live and experience life in both, but more specifically in Spanish. I needed to find a way to make it feel like me. Thanks God for my team. They've encouraged me to take a long time to find it. It's been the most gratifying thing I've ever done. And I can't wait to release it.
