Connor and Dylan are joined by Phylicia Pearl Mpasi (The Color Purple, The Lion King). Recorded in the afterglow of the 96th Academy Awards and release of Ariana Grande’s latest album, these three are basking in pop culture before diving into this fabulous chat. Phylicia stars as Young Celie in the movie musical of The Color Purple, alongside Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Hensen, and Danielle Brooks. She speaks about the support she received from Cynthia Erivo, as well as her co-star Halle Bailey, her “guiding light” throughout filming. Phylicia dishes on “She Be Mine” literally being hers, syncing up Celies with Fantasia, and seeing herself on the big screen. Her time at Elon, journey with The Lion King, and most recent swinging experience are all included in this dynamic episode. We manifest Elphaba in Phylicia’s future, learn about her lifelong Wicked obsession, and get the tea on being in the writers room for “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.” Listen to our full chat as gush over Raven Symoné, Vincent Jamal Hooper, and the magic of Little Debbie treats. Say hello to Phylicia Pearl Mpasi, y’all!
