    Talia Suskauer (A Walk on the Moon, Wicked, Parade)

    Talia Suskauer is a force. At just 23 years old, she became the youngest full-time actress to take on the iconic role of Elphaba, playing the green witch on both the national tour and Broadway. Most recently, she captivated audiences as Lucille in Jason Robert Brown's Parade. In this episode, we talk about spreading Jewish joy through storytelling, what it's like living and working alongside her sister Becca Suskauer, & even her red carpet look for the Wicked movie premiere! Talia is currently starring as Pearl in the new Off-Broadway musical A Walk on the Moon at the Laura Pels Theatre through August 22. Set during the unforgettable summer of 1969 in the Catskills, the show blends the romance of Dirty Dancing with the emotional depth of The Bridges of Madison County, following Pearl's journey of self-discovery and liberation against the backdrop of Woodstock, the moon landing, and a dose of quick-witted Jewish humor. Whether you've followed Talia since Wicked or are discovering her through A Walk on the Moon, this conversation is full of heart, laughter, and thoughtful reflections on finding yourself both onstage and off. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    Julia Knitel (Operation Mincemeat, Dead Outlaw)

    Julia Knitel is one of Broadway's brightest stars. She is currently lighting up the stage in Operation Mincemeat after earning a Tony Award nomination last season for her standout performance in Dead Outlaw. Julia made her Broadway debut at just 16 years old in Bye Bye Birdie before returning a few years later in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. In this episode, Julia shares the joy, resilience, and authenticity that have defined her career. We talk about guest judging Cats: The Jellicle Ball, the story behind her Tony Awards red carpet look (yes, an NDA was involved), why Broadway legend Beth Leavel once told her not to let show business know she could dance, and the lessons she's learned navigating life on and off the stage. It's a heartfelt, hilarious, and inspiring conversation you won't want to miss. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    Bradley Jaden (Les Miz, Wicked, Shrek)

    Bradley Jaden is one of the West End's most celebrated leading men, and this summer he'll make his New York stage debut as Javert in LES MISÉRABLES: THE ARENA SPECTACULAR, playing a limited engagement at Radio City Music Hall from July 23 through August 9. Bradley has taken on some of musical theater's most iconic roles, from Shrek to Fiyero, while spending more than a decade with Les Misérables. In this episode, we talk about the artists who shaped his career, from legendary producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh to performers like Ramin Karimloo, Bernadette Peters, and Lea Salonga. We also discuss what it means to carry the legacy of Les Misérables across the world, finding longevity in a demanding career, and why his gratitude for getting to do this work has never faded. Bradley has that rare combination of immense talent, genuine humility, and wholehearted joy. At the end of the day, he simply loves to perform, and that passion shines through in every story he shares. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    Jennifer Duka (The Lost Boys)

    It's been a season of unforgettable firsts for Jennifer Duka! She is currently making her Broadway debut as Alan Frog in The Lost Boys, the most Tony-nominated show of the season. From performing in the Tony Awards opening number alongside P!nk and Neil Patrick Harris to seeing her name on an original Broadway cast album for the very first time, this debut has been filled with pinch-me moments. In this episode, we talk about the lessons she's learned from the Tony Award-winning leaders of The Lost Boys, Michael Arden and Shoshana Bean, what it was like going straight from NYU to Broadway, and why it was so meaningful to walk the opening night red carpet in a look by a Filipino designer. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    Richard Riaz Yoder (Schmigadoon!)

    Today’s guest is Richard Riaz Yoder, who is currently dancing their heart out 8x a week in their 10th (!!!) Broadway show, the joy fest that is Schmigadoon! In this episode, we talk about the Black excellence of Shuffle Along led by the incomparable Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell, the top-down leadership Bette Midler brought to Hello, Dolly!, and where Richard falls in the very important Schmigadoon! feud between Ana Gasteyer and September L. Davis. But at the center of this conversation is something even bigger: the importance of finding the people in this industry who truly see you, lift you up, and remind you why you started in the first place. Richard is pure light, and this episode feels like sitting in that light! ⭐ ️⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    Ryann Redmond (Bring It On, Frozen, Heated Rivalry)

    Today’s guest is Ryann Redmond. I first fell in love with her signature mix of wit, silliness, and heart in If/Then, one of my favorite musicals where she starred alongside Broadway legends, like Idina Menzel, LaChanze, Anthony Rapp, & Jenn Colella. But Ryann’s Broadway journey began even earlier when she made her debut in Bring It On the Musical. Since then, she has become a dynamic and beloved presence on the New York stage, from originating roles in Escape to Margaritaville and Once Upon a One More Time to making history as the first female Olaf in Frozen. In this episode, we dive into how to sustain a long career in the business, the unexpected story behind performing Death Becomes Her alongside Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Britani Bateman, and what it was like sitting in the audience for MTV’s taping of Legally Blonde. Plus, keep an eye out for what’s next with Regency Girls, and you can catch Ryann back on the New York stage this spring in Heated Rivalry off-Broadway. Previews begin May 12, 2026, so run, don’t walk. ️⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.
