    Kelli Barrett (Beaches, Parade, Wicked)

    Kelli Barrett is a seven-time Broadway veteran whose credits include Wicked, Beaches, Parade, Doctor Zhivago, Baby It's You!, & more! Beyond Broadway, you may have seen her on TV portraying Liza Minnelli in Fosse/Verdon or alongside Sutton Foster in Younger. One of the things I admire most about Kelli is that she refuses to put her creativity in a box. She's an accomplished actress, but she's also an interior designer, a certified life coach, and even designed her own opening night look for Beaches. For Kelli, creativity isn't limited to the stage, it's woven into every part of her life. We dive into Beaches, where Kelli originated the role of Bertie on Broadway opposite Jessica Vosk's CeCe Bloom, but most of all, this conversation is about building a creative life without limits. Kelli has one of the most grounded perspectives on this industry I've ever encountered. She leads with empathy, wears her heart on her sleeve, and reminds us that success isn't just about the roles you play, it's about creating a life that reflects who you are.

    Leana Rae Concepcion (Spelling Bee, Merrily We Roll Along)

    Leana Rae Concepcion is currently starring as Marcy Park in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, now playing Off-Broadway at New World Stages. Before stepping into Spelling Bee, she was part of the celebrated Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez. In this episode, Leana reflects on the leadership lessons she learned from that extraordinary company, offers an honest look at the financial realities facing Broadway artists today, and shares how her portrayal of Marcy Park reimagines a beloved character for a new generation. We also explore how thoughtful costume design helps unlock new dimensions of Marcy, creating a version of the role that feels richer, more human, and deeply authentic. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

    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.

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.

    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.
