Being Ok With Where You're At with CHRISTIANE NOLL Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

I was humbled to have this weeks guest Christiane Noll on the pod! She originated the role of Emma Carew in Jekyll and Hyde, was Tony nominated for Ragtime, and has a list of credits a mile long. If you are a creative it's a must listen!! After so many years in the arts, she discusses recognizing all you've done, being open to what's to come, and being totally ok with exactly where you are at.

We also dish about the emotional toll Dear Evan Hansen took on her, being Tony nominated while still breast feeding, how collaborative originating a role is and what she yells during traffic.

HOT SCENE/COLD READ - we draw inspiration from Law and Order...did we catch the killer? Listen to find out!

Why I Quit Broadway with DAVID F. M. VAUGHN May 26, 2025

Show notes

An onion has layers and so does this weeks episode of It's Broadway Bitch! You may know our lovely guest David F. M. Vaughn from his role as Lord Farquad in the stacked cast of Shrek on Broadway. He spills on the original dark version of the show that we never got to see, and how wild it is to see an ogre make a call about insurance.

We continue to dish about European tours, scaling down sets, Tommy Tune and flushing cocaine, and most importantly - why he decided to hang it up and quit Broadway.

To end, I ask David the hard hiting question of what show has a good book and bad music, and what show has good music and a bad book.

Show notes

From Death Becomes Her we have Josh Lamon this week and this episode is a flipping RIOT! Truly a delightful human, Josh has a resume miles long, has worked with everyone, but possibly the most importnat thing to know about him is that Punky Brewster was his idol growing up. Nuff said.

We dish about Megan, Michelle and Jen of course, Meryl and Goldie obviously, backstage fights, and what show he left after the first act. Josh also shares amazing advice for auditioning that you don't want to miss.

HOT SCENE/COLD READ or is it an ad read? Or is it an Australian princess?? You be the judge!
