Get your cups ready, Communitea! For our monumental 350th episode, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented Broadway star, Taurean Everett!

Taurean opens up about his journey from a sports-driven family in Wichita, Kansas to the bright lights of Broadway, starring in the 10-time Tony-nominated smash hit musical, 'Death Becomes Her.', what it means to represent Black queer excellence on stage, and how he's learned that being himself is his superpower.

Oh, and Taurean gets real about the Michelle Williams Tony nomination snub ("They slept on our sis")!

Plus, we talk D'Angelo's legacy, get Taurean's Mount Rushmore of Broadway shows, and settle the Beyoncé vs. Janet debate in Curiositea!

Thank you, Communitea, for 350 amazing episodes! We appreciate the love and support and cheers to at least 350 more!
