Hopeless Romantics

Andrew Papas talks Boy Bands and Big Love


Listen Later

This week on Hopeless Romantics, we’re joined by Andrew Papas, singer, musical theatre powerhouse and star of & Juliet, which is heading to Aotearoa in early 2026. Andrew talks us through his journey from a church kid landing his first school musical lead, to boy band life with Titanium, to finding his way back to theatre and into the role of a very different Romeo.

We also get into the real stuff. Falling in love young, navigating long distance while touring overseas, building a marriage rooted in trust, and what it’s actually like being a stay at home dad while your partner’s radio career takes off. There are romantic grand gestures, Lana Del Rey car rides, framed song lyrics, and some very honest reflections on staying connected when life gets loud.
