Dylan and Connor are joined by John Cardoza & Solea Pfeiffer (Moulin Rouge). Double the return guests and double the drama. Fan favorite friends of the pod John and Solea are back to celebrate their onstage partnership in Moulin Rouge on Broadway. Currently starring as Christian and Satine, this pair falls in love every night at the Al Hirschfeld, but it also turns out they’re just as obsessed with each other in real life. It’s a reunion for the ages, as the twins catch up with the duo on what they’ve missed in the past year. John reflects on his journey with The Notebook on Broadway, what he learned, and what he’d change about the process. Solea shares her experiences in Gatsby: An American Myth: from the incredible score, to the creative process, and to audience reactions. They both provide insight on what they hope is in store next for their careers. Ellen Pompeo is mentioned twice, y’all. We discuss Ariana’s Brighter Days Ahead extended album, Severance and The White Lotus, and how John’s dog Banjo (aka Diego?!?) and Solea’s Bway Boyfriend Kevin Csolak are doing. You’re gonna want all the tea on a recent upstate birthday trip. It’s a joy to have these besties join the pod again. Catch them in Moulin Rouge before it’s too late! Come what may, y’all.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Andy Mientus (The Jonathan Larson Project, Smash). The Double DRAMA club gets a little bigger this week, as Andy Mientus RETURNS to the pod. It’s been nearly four years since his last stop at our headquarters, so we’ve got a lot of catching up to do. #ButFirst, we revel in the joys of Lady Gaga’s new studio album Mayhem. These Little Monsters have their paws UP. Andy and the twins reflect on their first podcast episode in 2021, which planted seeds of ideas for what’s come to fruition: Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway, Andy’s debut YA novel Fraternity, and even a stage return with The Jonathan Larson Project. We learn all about this “gallery-show” musical, which features original never-before-heard Jonathan Larson songs in a full-fledged stage production.

HOT off of their girls and gays trip to Miami, the twins are sunkissed and stoked to chat with Abubakr Ali, the star of MTC’s Dakar 2000. This charming and wonderful leading man joins them days before opening night of his new play to discuss whether the rumors are true: is the show a spy thriller? Is it the theatre’s answer to Babygirl? Wait and see, y’all… Abubakr describes how he got involved with the play, the creative process, and what it’s like being in an intimate two-hander like Dakar 2000. We also dive deep into his love for the musical Once, his years studying at NYU and Yale (and the years out in LA in between!), and how New York has become home. The TV credits are boundless, but of course Connor and Dylan need to know about the Riverdale spinoff Katy Keene, as well as The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Law & Order: Organized Crime (go off, spinoff king). We get into the heartbreak of Netflix’s Grendel never getting finished for public eyes, what it was like for the MacDowells to see Antoni Porowski in the flesh, and so much more.
