Dan is joined by musical theatre superstar Josh Gates, who is currently in the ensemble for the new Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar!

We chat about the intensity of working on Jesus Christ Superstar, feeling more connected as a member of the ensemble, not feeling static, knowing there's always more in the tank, the rehearsal period, the importance of previews, starting out in the industry at nine years old, the emotion behind having to leave a safe creative space, a Hugh Jackman story, expanding your brain, being an all or nothing type of person, changing as a performer, collaboration as an artist, knowing what jobs you want, anxiety, journaling, writing, being all about the feeling, the risk of loosing nuance in the moment, having a 'you made it' moment, saving your money, burnout, introspection, knowing you get better with time, shrinking yourself, working with incredible narrator's in Rocky Horror, and a whole lot more!

I had the best time with Josh! This was a very open and candid chat!
