    Fergie L. Philippe: "Lin-Manuel, Can I Have Your Money?"

    Fergie L. Philippe: "Lin-Manuel, Can I Have Your Money?"

    What’s the best way to get Lin-Manuel to give you all his money? Fergie L. Philippe breaks down the best method for me. For that reason alone you should be tuning into our conversation. But if that’s not enough for you, we get into some real conversations about the Muppets, Fergie’s love for performing and puppetry, embarrassing sports injuries, what his daily routine is as a star of the blockbuster Broadway hit “Hamilton” and we play a game of MOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTIONS!

    Kate Baldwin: "They're There"

    Kate Baldwin: "They're There"

    Kate Baldwin is not only a Broadway Icon, she’s a terrific hang, a super mom, and all in all a mega bad ass. We alllll know Kate from her Tony Nominated work in shows such as Finnian’s Rainbow, Hello Dolly, but I bet you’d never guess where she met her husband, actor Graham Rowat! Of COURSE we love Kate’s work as an incredible singer heard on such Original cast albums such as Big Fish and Superhero, but did you know that Kate Baldwin might actually make the best breakfast sandwich you’ll ever have in your life?! We take time to discuss Sondheim (RIP), our time working on the Karate Kid together, parenthood, food, food, food, and food.

    Matt Doyle: "I've Never Smelt So Much Gas In One Room"

    Matt Doyle: "I've Never Smelt So Much Gas In One Room"

    Matt Doyle is a Broadway treasure. Is there anything worse than seeing the friends you grew up with not age at all, meanwhile you feel like you’ve aged 4 times faster than most humans?? That’s how I feel when I saw Matt on the other end of this interview. I’ve known him since we were 12 and shortly after our adolescents he became a Broadway staple starring in shows such as Spring Awakening, War Horse, Book of Mormon, and so much more. He’s about to make his return to Broadway in the highly anticipated revival of COMPANY! On this episode we play “Who would you Squid Game first?” - we play a rousing game of FMK, and we talk about the very wrong casting choices we were stuck with as teenagers. Ladies and gentleman, theys and thems, it’s my pal and yours, Mr. Matt Doyle is on the podcast!!!!

    Caitlin Kinnunen & Ryan Bauer-Walsh: "Gay Metallica"

    Caitlin Kinnunen & Ryan Bauer-Walsh: "Gay Metallica"

    What lullabies did we listen to as kids? Do we remember how WEIRD the children’s stories we were read as kids were? Does Tony nominee indeed have a dog fighting ring in her basement? Will I ever finally get Jonathan Groff to pay attention to the nonsensical beef I’m trying to start with him? WHO KNOWS! But we talk about all of this and more on this week’s episode featuring guests Caitlin Kinnunen and performer/writer Ryan Bauer-Walsh. From our discussion about their upcoming project THE RAINBOW LULLABY to our heated exchange about whether we’d rather have fingers as nipples or nipples as fingers, it was a laugh a minute with these two. Tune in. RATE AND SUBSCRIBE! Just f***ing do it. I mean, it’s fine if you don’t, but like… just do it. For me. For me and my family. And YOUR family. HELL! We could all use the rate and subscribe! SMASH IT, Y’ALL!!! xoxo

    Louis Sacco: "I Reach My Greatest Heights By Helping Others Reach Theirs"

    Last week we spoke to a student of mine. This week we are talking to a mentor of mine! An amazing man with a storied life and career in both the arts and corporate America. He’s an entrepreneur and a business owner. He is the reason I am here writing musicals today because it was his support and believe in me that kept me in NYC… and now look at me! I’m hot shit! And it’s all thanks to today’s guest. My mentor. My teacher. My friend. Louis Sacco!

The Conan Obrien of Broadway

There isn’t a much higher compliment I can give. Drew was meant to host, talk shot and create music.

Fun Podcast With Great Podcast

Brightman debut podcast fantastic. Even if you’re familiar with the performers and follow them, it’s interesting to hear about their childhoods and interests beyond theater.
