GOING ON FOR GROFF WITH COREY MACH Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

The sound quality may be a little wonky but that doesn't stop us from loving this episode with Corey Mach! Corey is the creator and producer of the Broadway Sings series which has been going for over a decade, and was also recently in Merrily We Roll Along and & Juliet.

We dish about doing a concert in between shows on two show days, stepping in for Jonathan Groff in Merrily, what not to tell Daniel Radcliffe before a show, things to consider when taking a job as an understudy, and MONEY! In the arts we need to be talking about money!!

HOT SCENE/COLD READ is a Flashdance inspired scene abut a mechanic with dreams to be a gymnast.

CAN WE JUST BE ENTERTAINED? WITH MICKEY JO THEATRE Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

Joining us from across the pond, we have the lovely Mickey Jo Theatre! His reviews on Youtube have made him one of the most trusted critics out there because he has found a way to connect with theater goers in a real conversational way. We discuss his approach to reviews and how he critiques performances as a whole instead of simply saying, "that person was bad" because as he points out, a team of people make a show, not just one actor.

We dish about bootlegs, the Oliviers, if he trusts reviews, if he ever gets burned out seeing so many shows, and of course PADDINGTON! Please give us the bear!!!!

THE END OF THE HAMILCAST WITH GILLIAN PENSAVALLE Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

After 10 years, my amazing guest Gillian Pensavalle is saying goodbye, so long, farewell to her beloved Hamilcast Podcast. After changing her life and getting to interview "The Cabinet", Andy Blankenbuehler, Thomas Kail, Lin Manuel Miranda, and Alex Lacamoire one last time she is ready to be done after 500 episodes.

We dish about her starting the podcast even though she had never seen Hamilton and having only a camcorder to record with, to getting day drunk for hours with Lin Manuel Miranda and interviewing Jonathan Groff over the pandemmy. She has now seen the show over 26 times and looks forward to seeing it many more times.

HOT SCENE/COLD READ is all about about the salt, and the Reisling and.....murder. Listen to find out what they have to do with each other!

I WAS IN THE LAST PERFORMANCE OF RENT ON BROADWAY WITH ADAM KANTOR Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

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.
