Fresh from recently opening the new play Data at the Lucille Lortel, Brandon talks about the preview process, developing his character Jonah, and his chilly walk to work in the West Village from his East Village apartment.

Thoughts on the upcoming Tony nominations, word of mouth around Smash, Boop!, Real Women Have Curves, and Old Friends, as well as who they’re throwing money down on a big win for (hint: it’s in the title of the episode). Of course there’s chatter about the season finale of The White Lotus, the Kenya Moore debacle on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, how Meryl Streep could and should be involved in Mamma Mia! 3, and a Traitors season 4 dream-casting session. Because all gays are casting directors! Listen in for all of that and more on this week’s installment of DRAMA. Live, laugh, drama, y’all.

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.

We’re remembering our friend of the pod and hero Gavin Creel, who passed away on September 30, 2024. Gavin meant the world to the Broadway community and beyond. We’re re-releasing this special episode from two years ago to honor his memory, and share Gavin’s stories, wisdom, and warmth with the world one last time.
Read below about our conversation, originally released October 19, 2022. We love and miss you, Gavin.
”Connor and Dylan are joined by Tony Award winner Gavin Creel (Into the Woods, Hello, Dolly!). Ah… that’s history. A dream come true, even. Gagged. Listen in as the boys discuss Jay Armstrong Johnson’s I Put A Spell On You: Alive, Gavin having the time of his life in Into the Woods on Broadway, the impact of BCEFA, working with the collaborator of his dreams: Sara Bareilles, Gavin’s original work: Walk on Through, first kisses, coming out stories, Gavin’s hair journeys, a 20 year look-back on Thoroughly Modern Millie, the joy of the revival of Hair, being a London Boy, living in your truth, creating honest art, working with Sutton Foster, winning a Tony Award for Hello, Dolly!, and MORE. Go see Gavin in I Put a Spell on You: Alive at Sony Hall on October 23 and in Into the Woods through January 8th. We. Love. GAVIN.”
Connor and Dylan are joined by James Scully (Oh, Mary!, Fire Island). Welcome to a brand new episode of DRAMA. The twins and James become fast friends, some might even say sisters, as James tunes in from his dressing room at the Lyceum Theatre. Basking in bisexual lighting, this Broadway star spills on his role as Mary’s Teacher in Oh, Mary! James gushes over the brilliance of Cole Escola, his character’s pants giving Fiyero's a run for its money, and the stars that have taken in this hysterical romp, including RuPaul, Julia Murney, and Rita Moreno. But first, it truly all began with James’ star turn as a Porcupine in a Christmas pageant. He takes us through his iconic list of Ring of Keys moments, ranging from cast albums to Emma Thompson to Stanley Tucci and beyond. James is a sweet and humble boy who gives flowers throughout, especially to his brilliant partner Julio Torres. We cover his time filming “You” with Penn Badgley, Fire Island with his Oh, Mary! co-star Conrad Ricamora, and the Broadway rumor mill. In this episode, the boys pay special tribute to their hero, Gavin Creel, reflecting on his beautiful impact on them and the world. We had such a blast kiki-ing and laughing with James when the three of us really needed it, and maybe you will too. Go see him shine in Oh, Mary!

The star of this season’s newest original Broadway musical, Maybe Happy Ending, kicks off spooky season with your favorite twins. On a cozy fall night after Helen’s rehearsals, they hear all about the innovative show. Does co-starring with Darren Criss mean he spills on-set secrets from Glee and American Crime Story? Find out all of that PLUS the origins of the musical, working with Michael Arden, and thoughts about moving into the haunted Belasco Theatre. Spooookyyyyyy. We also dive into Helen’s relationship with Andrew Barth Feldman (currently starring in Little Shop of Horrors). She spills on how they met and how their love blossomed during lockdown. They also share stories from the University of Michigan, performing in Teeth and The Lonely Few, and a little Rainbow Fish and Finding Nemo chatter.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Taylor Trensch (Dear Evan Hansen, Hello, Dolly!). The twins are bouncing off the walls with excitement to have Taylor, a dream guest, on the podcast, having been in the audience for his professional debut performance in Spring Awakening over 15 years ago. Taylor Trensch is a star, y’all! He dishes on his extraordinary career, ranging from working alongside Gavin Creel in Hello, Dolly! to his recent two-hander experience with Cynthia Nixon. And just like that… we gagged! Connor dreamcasts Taylor in the titular role in Oh, Mary, while everyone eagerly anticipates Nicole Scherzinger’s arrival on Broadway. We go down memory lane to Tampa, where Taylor’s love of theatre began with (spoiler alert) Nancy’s tragic end in Oliver! These three gab about their favorite divas (Bernadette! Lillias! Dakin Matthews!), Taylor's onstage wigs, and working with dogs and rats in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. We gush over Cristin Milioti, dissect the Ryan Murphyverse, and giggle nonstop. Did Taylor (as Boq) perform a triple pirouette during “Dancing Through Life” in Wicked? That’s one mystery we’ll never know the answer to. Be sure to see this superstar in Safety Not Guaranteed as BAM through October 20.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Tony Award nominee Ephraim Sykes (Our Town, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations). It’s officially fall, y’all, and we’re chatting with Ephraim, one of the stars from the new Broadway production of Our Town, to kick off the season. But first: a conversation about NBC’s Smash, and its upcoming Broadway adaptation. Gagged! Ephraim reflects on his time dancing on Smash, his entire love of the arts beginning with his talent for dance, as well as his inspirations and influences. We cover all things Our Town - from the glorious cast, co-starring with Zoey Deutch, their trip to Peterborough, New Hampshire, and why the themes of the play are timeless. The twins get the scoop on Ephraim’s Hamilton experience from early workshops all the way to Broadway, the NYCC production of Pal Joey, and starring with Ariana Grande in Hairspray Live on NBC. Ephraim was an original Newsie, made his Broadway debut in The Little Mermaid, and was nominated for a Tony AND Grammy for Ain’t Too Proud. It wouldn’t be DRAMA without covering the culture, including Industry, The Perfect Couple, and the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef. This chat is NOT to be missed.

On DRAMA. The twins are absolutely gagged to be joined by one of their all-time favorite musical theatre songwriters. Jason is a busy, busy man. We’re joined by him ahead of his solo debut at Carnegie Hall while he’s also juggling an album drop of his 2019 Town Hall concert with Stephen Sondheim, the Parade National Tour casting process, The Last Five Years on BROADWAY’s pre-production, and writing three new projects. As if that wasn’t enough to discuss, the twins dive deep into JRB’s history to discuss his concerts at SubCulture, the early days of TL5Y in Chicago and off-Broadway, some untold stories about where and how he wrote Bridges alongside Marsha Norman, and TEA about “Being a Geek” from 13. Jason has worked with Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Shoshana Bean, Jonathan Bailey, Jeremy Jordan, Kristin Chenoweth, and more legends than we can even count.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Megan Kane (& Juliet). On a rainy fall New York day, Megan Kane joins the boys live from the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, where she’s currently between shows at & Juliet on Broadway. The twins are feeling nostalgia in the air, y’all. Who’s surprised? Megan catches them up on her five-show weekend schedule, which recently allowed for an open Wednesday night to see The Outsiders with her hubby, Ben. Speaking of, we revisit Megan’s love story with former DRAMA. podcast guest Ben Rappaport. From high school one-act competitions to flirty Facebook messages, we get the full tea. We also get the scoop on her experience with & Juliet, having just surpassed 750 performances. Whether she’s playing Lucy (one of the Players) or Nurse Angelique or Anne Hathaway, Megan has favorite moments and songs that keep her going. She also has a prime backstage snack, which you’re going to be LIVING for. We get into The Real Housewives of Orange County, the pivotal role of Molly in Annie, British Netflix thriller Fool Me Once, and what it takes to put on a solo cabaret show.

Connor and Dylan are chatting, so I guess that means it’s time for a TWIN TALK! In their first duo ep since announcing their partnership with iHeartRadio Broadway, the boys reintroduce themselves for any listeners new to the DRAMA.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Joy Woods (The Notebook, Little Shop of Horrors). As summer is heading toward its finale, the twins debate what should be crowned “Song of the Summer.” Chappell? Sabrina? Or maybe… “My Days.” The dazzling Broadway star Joy Woods joins in the conversation with fresh takes of her own, then walks us through her own days at The Notebook. Highlights include the summer camp experience of the show’s premiere in Chicago as well as hearing Ingrid Michaelson’s score for the first time. Joy recalls the recent performance in which the set lost power (and Connor was in attendance) during the climax of her eleven o’clock number. Y’all are lucky she was warm! We hear about the company-wide game of The Traitors as organized by friend of the pod Ryan Vasquez, and our hearts are warmed by the leadership of Maryann Plunkett and Dorian Harewood after opening night. Joy speaks of her early years watching So You Think You Can Dance, high school theatre, and AMDA year while working at Juniors. We chat about Joy’s time as Audrey in Little Shop opposite Matt Doyle and Jeremy Jordan, as well as being the first replacement to join the cast of Six on Broadway. We look ahead to Joy’s upcoming turn as Sarah in Ragtime at NYCC. And what’s next for Ms Woods? We can only imagine it’ll be extraordinary!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Emma Pittman (The Outsiders, Chicago). It’s Friday night at the drive-in, y’all! And by that we mean the boys are girling with one of the girls from that group of boys if you get what I’m saying? At intermission of our first viewing of The Outsiders, the twins were “gagged for Cherry” and now they’re gagged to have Emma Pittman on the pod. We go AWF on all things Love Island USA before diving in with the doll. Emma recaps the crazy summer she’s had – opening The Outsiders, awards season, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, and more. Hear about her journey with booking and creating the role of Cherry – the BTS goes crazy. Some tea from earlier workshops of the show (Dallas and Cherry romance storyline?!?!), fan reactions, how the girls stay sane in a theatre full of men, and MORE. Emma discusses Back to the Future, her trifecta of musical theatre albums, and “The Search for Roxie.” We learn what it was really like to make her Broadway debut in the company of Chicago as Roxie Hart, and have a kiki for the ages.

Dylan and Connor are joined by Grace McLean (Suffs, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812). On a sweet summer’s day, this icon called in from upstate to get into some DRAMA. Grace is known for delivering show-stopping, standout performances on stage, and she brings that same energy to the pod! We cover her remarkable career, starting with her current turn as President Woodrow Wilson in Suffs on Broadway. Brushes with Bill Clinton, HRC’s Tonys regalia, and the brilliance of Shaina Taub are all covered. Grace walks us through her multiple (!!!) times playing male characters, with hopes of Sweeney Todd alongside friend of the pod Max Jenkins.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winner and Tony-nominated playwright Martyna Majok (Gatsby: An American Myth, Cost of Living). Fresh off their summer vacation to Palm Springs, the twins discuss drag brunches, paradise in the desert, and whether or not Isaac Powell strips down at A.R.T. in this summer’s hottest show: Gatsby: An American Myth. There's no one better to chat about it all with than Martyna Majok, the show’s book writer. We dive DEEP into the process of writing this new musical, from rediscovering the source material of The Great Gatsby, to collaborating with music and lyricist Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine, y’all!) and Thomas Bartlett, and her involvement in the casting process. Martyna bares her soul on themes, topics, and life experiences close to her heart, as well as the role they play in her writing. She tells the story of meeting her love, Bobby Conte, what it was like winning a Pulitzer for Cost of Living, and the transcendent experience of seeing John Stamos in Cabaret at Studio 54. Pool hustling, The Bear season 3, and taking stock of life are just a few more things the three of them get into in this insightful, heartfelt, and thrilling conversation. Go see Gatsby: An American Myth at A.R.T. through August 3.

Connor and Dylan are joined by 2024 Tony Award nominee Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic). Have you got your ticket to the masquerade, y’all? The twins are starstruck by this breakout star of the Tony Award-winning Best Play of 2024. But first, Connor and Dylan share their excitement for a trip to Palm Springs, California (not Sausalito this time), while sadly missing New York Pride. The boys settle in for an indepth look into Tom’s journey with Stereophonic, and what it’s like playing the complicated Peter. How does he leave the character behind each night, as well as process audience reactions to the role? Listen and learn! Tom spills on his relationship with sweet friend of the pod Cara Ricketts, being on Broadway at the same time, and their drives to and from the city each night. Hear about Tom mastering the riff in Masquerade, the moment he learned he was Tony nominated, and what his speech would’ve included. We cover Tom’s life-changing childhood experience seeing Les Misérables, working with Uma Thurman in Williamstown, and his fondness for Love Island UK (and Ekin-Su).

And what a way to celebrate – by hearing all about MiMi’s stunning engagement to her partner, her queer awakening, and why representation means so much, even now in 2024. Years after seeing MiMi bust it DOWN in Kristin Chenoweth’s For the Girls on Broadway, the twins finally meet the icon, the legend, the star herself. Currently welcoming everyone to the Kit Kat Club as Texas in Cabaret, MiMi talks all things related to the Broadway revival. She fills the boys in on her own Ring of Keys moment in the arts (it’s a two-for-one!) and the queer awakening Ring of Keys she had several years ago. We gush over friend of the pod - and MiMi’s real life best friend - Tyler Hanes. Their friendship origin story is to die for, y’all. We get into A Beautiful Noise, The Heart of Rock and Roll, We Are The Tigers, and MORE. This ain’t Texas, y’all… even though it kind of is. ;)

Connor and Dylan are joined by Jason Schmidt (The Outsiders). Sodapop Curtis knows a thing or two about drama! Good thing he’s here to spill it alllll with us this week. Hot off the announcement that The Outsiders has been nominated for 12 Tony Awards, Jason (Soda himself) joins the twins to break it all down. Why does he love the musical? What are his favorite songs to perform? Musical influences that go into “Soda’s Letter”? How many days a week does he hit the gym? Listen to find OUT. We also ask burning questions about what it’s like backstage at the Jacobs Theatre, which cast members get the craziest DMs, and the rumors about whether or not there was even more shirtless content onstage in Tulsa, 1967 during the La Jolla run. Jason tells the boys about growing up in Chicago, going to Carnegie Mellon, and how Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies took him out west. Character inspired tattoos, Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism, Hacks season 3, and rap diss track beef fill out this wonderful episode with our favorite Outsider. Stream Jason’s original music on Spotify and check him out on Broadway eight times a week. Have you ever been out of Tulsa before? Now you’ll never want to leave.

Beauty and the Beast (with Kerry Butler), Tuck Everlasting, Ragtime, and of course… Newsies. Even a little Submissions Only! The burning question: what was it like getting topped by Murray Bartlett in “Looking” on HBO? Stick around for tales of Mike Faist in Newsies, Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine in The Idea of You, his love story with Scott Bixby, and lots and LOTS of gay content. But not anything teal.

We talk all things Wicked, Carmen Cusack, and the process of crafting a story arc for Glinda. Katie shares the tale of making her Broadway debut, replacing Kelli O’Hara in The Light in the Piazza, then going on to star in Allegiance, Miss Saigon, and currently in Merrily We Roll Along. We get into her friendship with Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez, and Daniel Radcliffe; and how Maria Friedman gave them the freedom to create their own journeys in the show. And some DRAMA: Bobby Berk leaves Queer Eye, Dylan loves Nyad, and a recommendation for Brie Larson’s Lessons in Chemistry. Old friends, y’all!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Ashley Parker Angel (Wicked, Hairspray) to continue our Wicked 20th Anniversary celebration. The boys have a blast, having previously connected after seeing Ashley in Hairspray. You know Ashley as the former frontman of O-Town, the boyband sensation, as well as for his hit single “Let U Go.” Well, this heartthrob is our Fiyero feature, and he generously recalls his time in the tight white pants in Wicked. Ashley discusesses the meta experience of playing Link Larkin in Hairspray, performing alongside Lance Bass as Corny Collins, and where the cast would party all night long. He takes us back to Reading, CA, where his star turn as Danny Zuko launched his career, and led him to fall backwards into “Making the Band.” Ashley raves about working with Max Martin on his album Soundtrack to Your Life, and how he just might make a return to the stage in & Juliet someday. This former Fiyero dishes on his excitement for the Wicked movie, why he turned down Dancing with the Stars, and his fitness business High Level. Oh, and of course we get into the possibility of an OnlyFans and why Buzzfeed crowned Ashley as “King of Thirst Traps.”
