U Guys, Wicked on Broadway's current Boq, Jake Pedersen is here!

Oh My Pod, this week's BroadwayWorld Recap has all the latest Bway tea! Then I am joined by Broadway performer Jake Pedersen to talk all about the amazing shows he has been a part of! Currently starring as Boq in the Broadway production of Wicked, Jake's talent knows no bounds! A true triple threat, Jake was first seen in the First National Tour of Jimmy Buffet's Escape To Margaritaville, before hopping on the national tour of Wicked. Jake went on to make his Broadway debut in the critically acclaimed, Tony Award-Winning revival of Jason Robert Brown's Parade, with Broadway stars Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond. Jake shares about his experience making his bway debut in such an incredible show under the direction of Michael Arden and alongside people who he has looked up to for years. He talks about creating the original cast recording for the show, which was nominated for a GRAMMY Award. We also talk about the realities of sustaining a show 8 shows a week, and how we have to allow ourselves grace and time to rest. Jake's sweet pup Melvin even makes a cameo. Jake is the best, U don't wanna miss this episode!
