Tveiting Patiently

Today's episode is the first mini milestone for the podcast: episode 10! Today's episode includes two more "Aaron Stories." It's been so much fun to connect and learn more about Aaron's fans and what draws them to him and his many talents! Enjoy!

This week's episode is part 1 of 2! I had the opportunity to speak with some other fans of Aaron Tveit and learn more about their "Aaron Story" and what drew them in to him and his work. It's something so special to be a part of a community that shares the same interests and admiration, but the fact is, we all have our own unique story for how we got there and I'm excited to share some "Aaron Stories" with you over the next two weeks!

Episode 8 is light and fun as it discusses a few of Aaron's more recent onscreen/onstage love interests. Starting with Graceland and going through to Moulin Rouge, there's no shortage of chemistry between Aaron and his co-stars.

We are here! Aaron's first big motion picture role! He captured our hearts and Inspector Javert as the barricade building, revolutionary Enjolras in Les Miserable. This role of Aaron's holds a special place for me, as it was my first experience with Aaron as an actor and hearing his voice. So much of this role was a dream come true for Aaron and he was hand selected for very specific reason by the producers, and he plays a critical role in why we are able to see the groundbreaking, live singing musical movie that we know and love today. Here's episode 7- One Day More

What do Aaron Tveit and Leonardo DiCaprio have in common? Besides their good looks, they've both also taken on the role of the fantastical life of Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can. Catch Me If You Can, is a musical project that Aaron to this day speaks of with so much pride and adoration. The show may have had a short run on Broadway, but it's impact on Aaron and his future performing roles has been huge. Tune into Episode 6 for more of Aaron's story about the musical and his performance.

Well here we are! Aaron's first originated role on Broadway. Gabe, from Next to Normal. Next To Normal was a unique show to perform and also to watch as an audience member because it targeted difficult subjects such as mental illness and family dynamics. But through the show, Aaron and the rest of the cast members created components that each member of the audience could connect to in one way or another.

Picture this: You're a new musical theater major, working so hard to make it and succeed in the program. One day a music director from a national musical tour offers a masterclass and your college and after your audition, tells you that you are perfect for their show and ask for your contact information. You, having no idea about how the world of performing works, provide you information and then go on with your day to day. Seems crazy, right? Well, that part of the story of how our National Treasure, Aaron Tveit, got his first acting job in the national tour of the musical, Rent. Episode 4 shares the story of how this job came to be and how the rest, as they say, is history.

Welcome Back for episode 3! This episode will focus on two key character traits of Aaron's: Humbleness and Gratitude. From how he interacts with fans, to his interviews that he gives and even within his Tony Speech, Aaron is quick to mention how luck and grateful he is for every opportunity he has been given.
