Reunited with my co-star from Xanadu, Cheyenne Jackson. Cheyenne moved from a very small town, not knowing anything about theater to… Not Broadway... Seattle! From there he eventually made it to Broadway and then Hollywood. I asked him about that transition. He has great self-tape tips! 

Cheyenne's Broadway credits include: Into The Woods, Finian's Rainbow, Xanadu, All Shook Up, & Thoroughly Modern Millie

Follow Cheyenne on Instagram @mrcheyennejackson. He'll be performing at 54 Below this September - 54below.org/events/cheyenne-jackson/, and you can see us both on thebroadwaycruise.com in March 2024!

Brilliant award winning song writing team Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are my guests. Currently they are represented on Broadway in the smash hit Some Like it Hot. I had the privilege of working with them on Hairspray and Catch Me If You Can. You also may know their music from the tv show Smash. We talk about their incredible careers, and they give advice on how to audition. Can you take their music and make it your own? To riff or not to riff, that is the question.
