Live from Cananda we have 26 year Broadway vet J Elaine Marcos! She's the most delightful person who you may have seen in A Chorus Line and the Every Little Step documentary, Miss Saigon, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and most recently Drag the Musical.

We dish about being an improv girlie, not getting Connie in the documentary, and how to really stand out in an audition by using bowling balls and drag queens and maybe even stripping.

Don't worry I have the cure for your case of the Monday's and it's todays podcast episode with the absolutely lovely Adam Kantor! He made his Broadway debut in RENT, yes THAT RENT, and has since won a Grammy and Emmy, been on stage in A Bands Visit, Fiddler on the Roof, Next to Normal and most recently directed Storycourse Diaspora an immersive theatre experience through food.

We dish about how he didn't get Spring Awakening which led him to Rent, what that last perfromane of Rent on Broadway was like, missing a whole scene in Fiddler on the Roof, and how he is joining the producing team of The Jellicle Ball!

HOT SCENE/COLD READ is one that almost didn't make the cut but we are all thankful it did as we meet an overbearing mother who can't let her son go.

Todays ep is a fun one! From the Broadway Breakdown podcast we have the one and only Matt Koplik! If there's one thing Matt knows, it's theatre and he's unapologetic of his love for Broadway. A self proclaimed nerd for the arts, Matt is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge but can also gossip like the girlies.

We dish about shows we like, shows we don't like, what fans Broadway shouldn't cater too, what shows we wish lasted longer and why people stopped trusting the New York Times theatre critics.

Absolutely chuffed to welcome this week's guest the iconic Joe Iconis!!! His musical Be More Chill found a second coming after the music went viral bringing it to Broadway and earning him a Tony nomination. But what happened at the Tonys was not chill at all!

We dish about how his song being sung at the Tonys was a surprise to him, how he identifies with Kermit, his love of teen horror films, and the importance of writing for yourself. We also get into the success of Six, and if musicals are dying or if our tastes are just eroding.

Keep an eye out for his Hunter S Thompson musical and go to his Christmas Extravaganza Dec 12-15th at 54 Below.
