    Ep53 - Kerry Butler: Beetlejuice, Mean Girls, Rock of Ages, and like a zillion more Sep 24, 2019
    Show notes

    This Tony nominated actress made her Broadway debut in 1993 in Blood Brothers, before starring in shows such as Beauty and the Beast, Le Mis, Hairspray, Little Shop, Xanadu, Rock of Ages, Catch Me If You Can, Disaster!, and Mean Girls. She has numerous on screen credits such as 30 Rock, Cupid, The Mindy Project, Blue Bloods, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. She is now staring as Barbara Maitland in Beetlejuice on Broadway.

    After starting her performing career at age 3 in a Fab TV commercial, she continued her passion all the way through college - where she ended up taking her first voice lesson. It was then she learned how to belt. She didn't realize until she lost her voice right out of college during a European tour of Oklahoma! that she was actually belting incorrectly.

    Going into this vocal injury and more, this episode also covers what a "psoas" is (and why she injured hers), her time studying with Liz Kaplan, why she decided to adopt her two beautiful daughters, and even what happened to the Off-Broadway hit Bat Boy after 9/11.

    Ep51 - Leslie Kritzer: A Self-Proclaimed Jew-rican Tearing Up Broadway Sep 10, 2019
    Show notes

    This self-proclaimed Jew-rican is tearing it up 8 times a week in Beetlejuice on Broadway, consistently proving herself as one of the funniest people on Broadway.

    Leslie made her Broadway debut in Hairspray in 2004, followed by a string of amazing Broadway roles in Legally Blonde, A Catered Affair, Elf, and Something Rotten.

    After deciding she loved performing at a young age, she found herself playing piano at Carnegie Hall at age 9. She originally felt she would seek classical voice training before deciding musical theatre was the way to go, but not before a slight problem with stealing led her to find her tribe. Her story is one of astonishment, as it includes an amazing instance of "theatre saved my life."

    Ep50 - William Ivey Long (Part 2): 6-time Tony Award Winning Costume Designer Sep 06, 2019
    Show notes

    PART 2: A 6-time Tony Award winner (with 17 total nominations) over his 43 year career as a costume designer on Broadway, this Raleigh, NC native shares his incredible story. This two-part episode is the first of several coming at you this month as part of a Beetlejuice the Musical takeover!

    William Ivey Long literally lived in a Raleigh Little Theatre dressing room for the first few years of his life before ultimately leaving the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where he originally studied art history) to attend the Yale School of Drama, rooming with some modern day celebrity powerhouses and studying set design under Ming Cho Lee.

    In 2000, Long was chosen by the National Theatre Conference as its "Person of the Year" and was honored with the "Legend of Fashion" Award by the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. He was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame for 2005. His professional credits go on forever, but he won his Tonys for Nine, Crazy for You, The Producers, Hairspray, Grey Gardens, and the 2013 revival of Cinderella. He now has two productions currently running on Broadway: Beetlejuice and Tootsie, which both opened in the 2019 season 1 day apart from each other.

    Ep49 - Kirsten Scott: She Is Going to Rock Our Socks Off Aug 27, 2019
    Show notes

    The bubbly and bright Kirsten Scott is taking the Off-Broadway the stage by storm as Sherrie in the 10th Anniversary revival of Rock Of Ages.

    Kirsten made her Broadway debut in Hairspray right after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University, a role which she initially turned down right before starting her freshman year. She has been seen in the Broadway productions of Jersey Boys, Big Fish, and Follies. Kirsten is tearing up the stage in Rock Of Ages -- recently extended into 2020!

    In this episode, we discuss the ups and downs of this rocky business we call theatre life, why she turned down her Broadway debut to attend college, dealing with the "personal loss" that was the extremely short run of Big Fish, add even how and why she got married at what most would call a young age and how she continues to make it work.

    Ep48 - Justin Guarini: The American Idol is More Than a Lil' Sweet Aug 20, 2019
    Show notes

    Justin Guarini’s robust performance career launched with the first season of American Idol in 2002, performing alongside Kelly Clarkson. His stage and screen appearances since then include Broadway productions of American Idiot, Romeo and Juliet, Wicked, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Justin has hosted shows shows like Idol Wrap and Idol Tonight along with live events for the TV Guide Network, the Oscars, the Emmys, and the Grammys. He continues to reprise his role as the lovable Lil’ Sweet in commercials for Diet Dr. Pepper while branching out into the new world of podcasting, book writing, and audition coaching.

    Growing up in Atlanta, he was exposed to the entertainment industry at an early age. He moved to New York and actually turned down his Broadway debut when he was offered a spot on American Idol, a show no one had heard about at that time. After his success on Idol came, he was left feeling empty and wanting more as he dealt with the struggles of overnight fame and fortune.

    Ep47 - Jawan Jackson: He Ain't Too Proud to Admit He Wanted To Be a Dolphin Trainer Aug 13, 2019
    Show notes

    This Detroit native had no idea that one day he would get to play one of the most influential people of his lifetime not once, but twice! Currently starring as Melvin Franklin, one of the original Temptations, his incredibly sexy and powerful bass voice tingles everyone's eardrums 8 times a week in Broadway's Ain't Too Proud.

    Originally thinking he would be a dolphin trainer, he quickly changed his mind after being given the chance to swim with sharks in open water. His professional career began as a tenacious radio personality on Detroit's HOT 107.5, before following a friend's advice, taking his first headshot as a selfie in front of his bathtub's curtain, and then landing his Broadway debut in Motown the Musical.
