    The Theatre Podcast with Alan Seales

    Intimate, personal conversations with the biggest talents from professional theatre, tv, film, and more.

With over 2 decades of experience in film and theatre both as cast and creative, host Alan Seales speaks with Broadway, TV, film and beyond’s biggest talents to learn more about not only how the world of theatre and performing operate, but also what makes it so real and human. In-depth, personal, behind-the-scenes conversations will highlight special details of the industry that most people may not know exist, will always find out what makes the guests love their craft, what makes them tick, and what truly inspires them.

    Show notes

    Starring as Mary Jane Healy in Jagged Little Pill, one of the biggest musicals on Broadway, Elizabeth Stanley leads audiences on an unforgettable journey of self-reflection and serious thought… 8 times a week.

    She made her Broadway debut in the 2006 revival of Company, and has also starred on Broadway in Cry-Baby, Million Dollar Quartet, and On the Town. She was in the 2009 tour of Xanadu, and the 2015 tour of The Bridges of Madison County in addition to numerous TV credits such as Fringe, All My Children, The Affair, and The Get Down.

    Elizabeth has a very open conversation about the effects of mental health portrayed in the show and to her personally. She has her routines that help her to step out of that dark headspace playing a character like Mary Jane Healy will sometimes leave you. Including different techniques she uses when walking off stage. She will leave you captivated listening to the podcast as much as you would be watching her on stage.

    Ep69 - Bernie Telsey, one of this generation's biggest and best casting directors Jan 14, 2020
    Show notes

    Bernie Telsey is one of the biggest names in the business. You may not see him on stage but he has introduced the world to some of the biggest names on Broadway. He and his team at Telsey + Company have cast literally hundreds of Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional productions, in addition to your favorite TV shows and movies, and more. He is also one of the co-creators of MCC Theatre, which he started right after graduating NYU. Bernie got his big break after casting one the most beloved musicals, Rent, and started a casting trend that almost single handedly changed the face of the industry, and helped to bring the large volume of filming tv, film, and commercials to New York City that we see today.

    Among many things, we cover:

    • The behind the scenes of casting a show and how it is different for each genre
    • Starting MCC Theatre with friends from college
    • Getting his big break casting Rent, after trying to not do it
    • How the internet has helped (and hurt) how shows are cast these days
    • What it takes to run bi-coastal, massive casting agency
    • How he helped usher in a new wave of Broadway and changed the industry
    • Advice on how to get seen in this business, and the proper way to submit yourself to casting agents

    Ep68 - The Skivvies: Lauren Molina & Nick Cearley Jan 07, 2020
    Show notes

    Comprised of Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley, The Skivvies is a cabaret, musical, comedy show all wrapped up into one fun night, sometimes with the occasional special guest. Lauren and Nick have taken their act from performing stripped down versions of songs stripped down on Youtube, to now touring the country and having various residencies around New York City.

    The Skivvies is about confidence and acceptance, not sexuality. While dealing with the occasional wardrobe malfunction(!), they accept everyone and every body as it is, all while creating incredible musical arrangements, often at the last minute, as their amazing friends join them to perform while touring across the country.

    Ep66 - Lesli Margherita: Her Last Name is More than a Tasty Drink Dec 23, 2019
    Show notes

    Lesli Margherita is an Olivier Award winning actress who made her Broadway debut in Matilda in 2013 after a successful run on the West End in Zorro, which earned her the award. She was recently in Dames at Sea here on Broadway, but made her first big splash in the entertainment scene in 1997 in the TV show Fame LA. and is about to open Emojiland off-broadway as The Princess.

    From the immediate career high to the emotional lows that came from being cast on Fame LA, this episode covers a range of topics and feelings. Did you know Lesli almost became an ice dancer? Did you know she loves all things Disney and Star Wars? We discuss body shaming, therapy, how it's hard for comedic women to be seen for anything but comedic, why it's harder for women in general on the Broadway stage, and much more.

    And in case you're wondering, yes, Lesli Margherita is her real name... not a stage name, nor a porn name!

    The "really weird looking dog" tweet can be found here.


    Interview content begins at 2:24.

    Closing standards begin at 54:00.

    Ep63 - Desi Oakley: She's Officially an Officiant Dec 03, 2019
    Show notes

    Desi Oakley made her Broadway debut in Wicked in 2012, before going on to shows such as the Annie revival (also in 2012), the First National Tour of the revival of Evita!, Les Mis, and even starred as Jenna in the national tour of Waitress. She’s appear on TV in Gotham, and even has a couple albums of her own as a recording artist out there in the world. She could most recently be seen as Roxie Hart in Chicago.

    In this episode, we dive deep into some of her terrifying stories of learning piano, temporarily moving to Canada as a child, and being incredibly self-aware and not caring what people think while constantly seeking validation. She discusses why she started developing on-stage anxiety while leading the first national tour of Waitress leading to her mantra to maintaining mental health (that we discovered during the episode) called MEPCY... yeah, we made that up, but it works!

    She even officiated Kyrstina Alabado's wedding!


    Interview content begins at 1:58.

    A meditation lesson at 31:48

    Closing standards begin at 50:45.
