I can't believe we did it again! We made another episode of the world's best podcast and we got the world's best guest in Gerianne Perez!! You know her from Operation Mincemeat, Six, and In Transit. She also creates content breaking down the truth about working on broadway. The good, the bad, the ugly!

We dish about covering three lead roles, having performance anxiety, going on when you have the flu because you can't say no, and how we need to update the way we market shows.

After a small travel delay, we are back back back with the phenomenal Jay Armstrong Johnson! You have seen him everywhere from Phantom of the Opera, to Parade and now starring as Ilya in the wildly successful Heated Rivalry Parody. Jay talks about his on stage chemistry with his co-star, how it's a love lette to the shiny IP, and how the fandom reacted to the musical.

We dish about what makes this parody work, why off broadway is so interesting right now (low budget, high vibes), his group chat with his cast of Hair and what he learned about leading a show from Gavin Creel. We love Jay and you will too!

From being a swing dresser on Broadway to writing her own book I am utterly fascinated by Teale Dvornik! Currently working as a dresser for the Met Opera, she has also worked on Aladdin and Wicked and through those experiences created The Backstage Blonde. Using the stories she heard from generational stage hands, and her own personal experiences working backstage she started to create the kind of Broadway content she wanted to see which lead to her getting her NYC tourism license and giving in depth Broadway History tours.

We dish about the hidden secrets of some of the most iconic theaters, how Babe Ruth was traded because of a musical, where you should eat before a show and if you should tip your dressers.

We dish about loving actors, applying for grants, covering for Cassie Levy, and how to mom and also be a creative. Spoiler - it's super hard. We end with writing a song together and doing a HOT SCENE/COLD READ about other mothers.

With The Tonys just a few days away, we were lucky enough to catch Cats The Jellicle Ball's co-director Zhailon Levingston for a minute to chat all about the exciting revival which sets CATS in the ballroom world! He explains how a joke of an idea to do CATS without CATS became the Jellicle Ball when a friend connected him to Bill Rausch who was also thinking about a new version of CATS.

We dish about how they couldn't change the music but if they could, what song he would want to attack first, what he brings back to Broadway after directing community theater in his local hometown, and he answers the question, why this revival and why now??

We love todays episode with the lovely DEE ROSCIOLI! An Elphaba, a Celine, both Madeline and Helen - the woman has never had an easy role. Currently the stand by for both lead roles in Death Becomes Her, we talk about how she treated her role in Pokemon live like Chekov and how she could never be Roxie Hart.

We dish about how not being a dick is a good thing, her long audition for Titanique, how hard it is to rehearse full out by yourself when you get the call that you're going on, and the cost of going to a show.

Today on the pod we are so lucky to have director Jack Serio! Jack has made a name for himself as an interactive, small space, actor driven director and we pick his brain about all the nitty gritty stuff that goes into making a show feel realistic. His hit play "Well, I'll let you go" is in it's second iteration after a sold out run and is getting rave reviews.

We dish about what makes a show feel urgent, what a director actually does, how he loves to be collaborative and what he would tell people about getting something made. Spoiler! There's no magic answer...if you want to see something get made call on your resources and make it! Be that in your mothers basement or an ice cream shop if you want to see something done baby you gotta do it!

SURPRISE! We decided to drop 2 episodes this week for our season 3 premiere because we could not wait to get this one out. Ann James is here! As an intimacy and sensitivity specialist, it's her job to help actors tap into trauma without taking it home. She establishes a community agreemant for casts and how everyone can move through material with that common goal in mind and it's facinating!

We dish de-roleing, showmances and how theatre is not therapy and your cast in not your family. Ann also worked on ALL THREE Tony nominated musical revivals! When I say this is a must listen.....
