    Ep272 - Javier Muñoz: Sexy Hamilton Did Not Throw Away His Shot Jun 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Now starring alongside Jesse Mueller in the musical concept album, “My Heart Says Go”, Javier Muñoz has truly come a long way from being a science nerd to a Broadway actor. Javier talks about his passion for theatre and performing and the importance of having a hobby outside of your job, which in his case includes exploring other creative artistic hobbies like doing film and tv, doing voiceovers, writing a new book, or diving into his activism. He originally had to quit acting in 2002 to work full-time as a manager at a restaurant after a string of unsuccessful auditions. A firm believer in the universe knocking at your door, Javier decided to get back into theatre after getting encouragement to audition for “In the Heights”. He talks about his relationship with the other cast and the special bond they have, and how his parents pushed him to continue pursuing his acting career. Javier gets vulnerable as he opens up about being a cancer survivor, getting diagnosed when he was doing “Hamilton”, how it affected his career and coming to terms with it, and his healing journey.

    Javier Muñoz is an actor with stage credits including the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival's off-Broadway show “All Is Love”, Broadway’s “In the Heights” and “Hamilton”, where he took over for Lin Manuel and earned the title of “Sexy Hamilton”. His TV and movie credits include the 2021 release of “In the Heights”, “Blindspot”, ”Quantico”, “Odd Mom Out”, “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee”, “Shadowhunters”, and “Eureka!” among others. He is now starring alongside Jesse Mueller in “My Heart Says Go”, a musical concept album currently available to stream everywhere.

    Ep271 - Jessie Mueller: Her Heart Says Go Jun 06, 2023
    Show notes

    With her many awards and nominations, it’s safe to say that Jessie Mueller is one of the most talented actors of today. She gets real as she shares what it’s like getting a Tony nomination for her Broadway debut and dealing with imposter syndrome. Moving to New York for “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever” was a big move for Jessie and when the show closed, she was faced with the dilemma of staying or moving back to Chicago. Ultimately, with the support of her family and partner, Jessie decided to stay and continue to pursue a career in acting. Originating the role of someone as iconic as Carole King, Jessie recalls her audition process and how she got the role, her experience doing the show, and the pros and cons of doing press appearances. Co-starring in a brand new concept album, “My Heart Says Go”, she looks back on how it all started and why Matt Hawkins chose to make an album. She also opens up about growing up in a family of actors, using her privilege to help other people, and always performing little acts of kindness (because they do matter!).

    Jessie Mueller is an actress and singer who won a Tony award for her lead role as Carole King in the 2014 production of “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”. She has three additional Tony Award nominations for her roles in “Waitress”, the 2018 Revival of “Carousel”, and “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever”. She's a Grammy Award Winner, Drama Desk Award winner, Theatre World Award honoree, and made her feature film debut in Stephen Spielberg's movie, “The Post”. She has appeared in many TV shows, including “Blue Bloods”, “Madam Secretary”, “Candy”, and is a series regular on the Netflix Children's “Centaurworld”. She's now co-starring in a brand new concept album, “My Heart Says Go” alongside Javier Munoz.

The three share how their 3-man comedy band started and what drew them to comedy. Each talk about their background, with Alex sharing his musical theatre experience, Keith his improv experience, and Hughie his songwriting experience.

The three reflect on their dynamic as a comedy group and their formula for their comedy music. The three recall their turning points in terms of taking themselves seriously as a comedy band and pursuing bigger things for their group, which include opening for Garfunkel and Oates at a music festival in 2016 and getting amazing reception from their audience and doing one-take videos on TikTok. For a long time, the group struggled with how they came across to some people, but today, they can confidently say that they're a musical theatre comedy act. They also give an overview of "Lewberger & The Wizard of Friendship", an interactive comedy show best described as “wildly theatrical” that had a successful Off-Broadway run. Currently in a period of growth, Lewberger is cooking up more projects and strategizing to reach more goals, one of which is to keep making people laugh. Catch the album release show of “Lewberger & Wizard of Friendship,” which features some improv royalty, on June 23, 2023 everywhere you stream your music.
