Episode 87: Aaron the Story Teller
Aaron's ability to tell stories and intertwine them into his concerts and align them with the songs on his setlists. They take his song selections to a whole other level when audiences learn backstory behind them. Aaron's stories also give audiences little glimpses into his personal life, family life, and moments in his career. Just like narrowing down concert songs was a challenge, the same was true for selecting a few favorite stories...but here we are!

Episode 86: Concert Favorites
Trying to narrow down songs that Aaron has covered during his concerts over the years was no easy feat. His setlists are always the perfect mix of theater and pop/rock and even songs that he has performed more than once, he never performs them in the same way twice. This week, Jill is back with me as we tried to choose our favorite songs that fit into different categories. Let's see if any of our favorites are yours as well!

Episode 85: Aaron Tveit and The Pacific Jazz Orchestra
On May 11, 2024, Aaron performed his first solo concert with The Pacific Jazz Orchestra at The Soraya Stage. To say that this concert was incredible would be an understatement. The setlist was insane with so many new songs, and surprise songs were revealed on the night. But the most anticipated song of the night was Roxanne and Aaron performed that song not one but twice and opted up not once, but twice and everyone in the audience and those who saw videos of it are still trying to recover. Today's episode recaps that night! Hope you enjoy!

Episode 84: Rest Now, My Friends: The closing of Sweeney Todd
And just like that, 12 weeks of Sweeney Tveit and the revival of Sweeney Todd have come to an end. What an incredible run both the show as a whole and Aaron had. It was such a privilege to be able to witness that magic that Aaron, Sutton and the entire company created on stage night after night, show after show. May 5th was electric and such a special show and my friend Jill is back with me to recap and highlight favorite moments from the final show.

Episode 83: Rouge Memories and a Sweeney SNOB
Two years ago on April 23, 2022, I saw Moulin Rouge and Aaron Tveit live for the first time and nothing as been the same since! The first half of today's episode reflects on some Rouge memories. The second part highlights another incredible, first time experience: my first ever Saturday night on Broadway and a front row experience with Sweeney Tveit! Still recovering from that experience, but I feel so grateful to have had it happen before the the show ends in just two weeks.

Episode 82: Rush day on Fleet Street
Some how, there are only three weeks left to attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. It's wild how fast time as gone. Aaron and Sutton are so settled into their roles and making little tweaks and changes that just continue to level up their performances! This past Sunday, 4.14.24, I drove into the city for a rush ticket and it was an amazing last minute Sunday on Fleet Street.
