Today we bring you a conversation with Jordan primarily about his role in the new Pixar film, Turning Red. In the film Jordan plays Robaire, who is part of a fictional boy-band called 4 Town. We speak to him about many of the movies main themes, as well as some fun questions on boy-bands, his run on the hit Broadway show Hamilton and much more!

Ashley Brown is a Broadway superstar. She stepped into the lead role of Belle in Beauty and the Beast before originating the titular role of Mary Poppins. We had a chance to speak with her just as she’s heading to Walt Disney World to perform in the Disney on Broadway series as part of the Epcot Festival of the Arts. In addition to her love for all things Disney, we spoke to her about how she prepared for the opportunities that lead her to Broadway. This is a great conversation for anyone considering a future in musical theatre, or just wants to follow their own dreams. We are so grateful that she shared her time and talents with us, she really is practically perfect in every way.
