Dylan and Connor are joined by Tatianna Córdoba (Real Women Have Curves). Y’all, we are SO obsessed with this breakout star from Real Women Have Curves: The Musical. Listen in as the twins get the inside scoop on Tatianna’s first ever Broadway season, what it’s been like to lead this new musical as Ana Garcia, and the incredible company she’s a part of. We gush over Justina Machado, gag for the backstage telenovela created by the cast, and the powerful way audiences are engaging with Real Women Have Curves. Tati takes us back to the Bay Area, where her love of the arts began with Annie and was accelerated by Lin-Manuel Miranda. We have a discussion about the importance of body representation and the visibility of Black and Brown people on stage. Thankfully, shows like RWHC have BOTH mama! We’re in the presence of a culture queen, y’all! Tatianna is just as addicted to binge watching all the latest shows (Severance!) as well as some classics (Lost!), while curating music playlists for every season of life. Connor rides for Maren Morris, Dylan has One of Them Days, and Tatianna gags for KATSEYE. While listening to this episode, pull out your phone and snag a seat to Real Women Have Curves on Broadway. You will love it, and obviously will love Tatianna!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Grammy Award nominee Brent Comer (The Outsiders, Les Misérables). Celebrating over a year playing Darrel Curtis in the Tony-winning Best Musical, Brent opens up about how his experience with the show has changed over time, ways he’s keeping it fresh, and gives insight into his relationship with co-star (and friend of the pod) Jason Schmidt. We get into Outsiders lore, including Patrick Swayze’s OG impact as Darrel, Tulsa, and the language of violence in the musical. Brent also reveals his favorite part of every single performance of The Outsiders. Star Wars, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us are discussed at length, as well as Brent’s love of documentaries. Respect is put to Miley’s “More to Lose” (the LIVE version, mama!), and Ransom Canyon on Netflix is teased. You’ve been warned. Are you curious about tattoos, Angelina Jolie, and the Broadway season at LARGE? Brent as Stanley Kowalski, George Seurat, or Sweeney Todd??? Stay until the end, y’all. Brent is a meme king, fitness legend, and Broadway star. DO NOT miss him in The Outsiders on Broadway.

Dylan and Connor are joined by Ana Gasteyer (Once Upon a Mattress, “Saturday Night Live”). The Queen is coming. Actually, the Queen has ARRIVED. The twins are absolutely gagged to be joined by icon, legend, mother Ana Gasteyer. Fresh off of singing into a bullhorn in Times Square (IYKYK), Ana dives right into discussing the hot-off-the-presses cast album for Once Upon a Mattress, how it felt returning to Broadway with such a beloved show and cast, and what it was like playing alongside Michael Urie. Listen as she spills on her 6 seasons on “Saturday Night Live,” including the recent SNL50 celebration. Ana speaks on when she realized she was ready to leave SNL, followed by becoming one of the very first women to play Elphaba in the original company of Wicked in Chicago. Ana speaks about her Quaker upbringing leading to a life of performing, whether it be with The Groundlings, on television, or even the Broadway stage. She shares tidbits about working with Rachel Dratch, Kate Reinders, and appearing on early demos of Hairspray. We gush over the new film Sinners, Floyd Collins and its extraordinary cast, and happily celebrate Drag: The Musical’s award nominations. We only love Ana more after some DRAMA!

We’re absolutely gagged to be chatting with the delightful, breezy, and charming star of Boop the Musical: Jasmine Amy Rogers. Hear all about her journey with the show: auditioning, getting cut, and working her Betty BOOTY off to get back in the room and take what was rightfully hers. Jasmine spills on working with legendary legend Jerry Mitchell, her dreamy onstage love interest Ainsley Melham, and the fabulous crew of designers and creatives who helped bring her version of Betty Boop to life.

Dylan and Connor are joined by John Cardoza & Solea Pfeiffer (Moulin Rouge). Double the return guests and double the drama. Fan favorite friends of the pod John and Solea are back to celebrate their onstage partnership in Moulin Rouge on Broadway. Currently starring as Christian and Satine, this pair falls in love every night at the Al Hirschfeld, but it also turns out they’re just as obsessed with each other in real life. It’s a reunion for the ages, as the twins catch up with the duo on what they’ve missed in the past year. John reflects on his journey with The Notebook on Broadway, what he learned, and what he’d change about the process. Solea shares her experiences in Gatsby: An American Myth: from the incredible score, to the creative process, and to audience reactions. They both provide insight on what they hope is in store next for their careers. Ellen Pompeo is mentioned twice, y’all. We discuss Ariana’s Brighter Days Ahead extended album, Severance and The White Lotus, and how John’s dog Banjo (aka Diego?!?) and Solea’s Bway Boyfriend Kevin Csolak are doing. You’re gonna want all the tea on a recent upstate birthday trip. It’s a joy to have these besties join the pod again. Catch them in Moulin Rouge before it’s too late! Come what may, y’all.
