My buddy Chicago-theatre fixture Mike Accardo is in town with the prestigious Milwaukee Rep. He came over for lunch and it turned into a ton of fun. We chat about acting, bathroom door closed marriages, and we take a moment to remember The Candyman. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. info@AndrewVarela.com @AndrewVarela525 Recorded 8/29
Episode 2
I'm kind of getting the hang of using the recording software so this episode has a few more bells and whistles. My buddy Tommy Hahn joins me on the screen porch and we discuss music, war movies, and the proper way to put crepe paper on a Big Wheel. Recorded 8/18/16 Please leave me your feedback at Info@AndrewVarela.com
Welcome to the View From the Exurbs Podcast! Its what happens when a New York/Broadway veteran escapes into the hinterlands of the beautiful state of Wisconsin. This podcast has my buddy Ryan joining me on the screen porch and we share theatre stories, what the real demise of millennials will be, and having Peter Dinklage fondle the butt of the guy next to me at a bar.
A note on the audio: this is actually done on my screen porch outside so you get to enjoy the crickets and wind chimes in their native glory. That might change if enough people say its distracting. Also, Im currently using a single mic for all participants, so just as soon as that sponsorship from Harry's razors or Casper mattresses comes through, I'll be looking to upgrade the sound equipment. -V
Jason Forbach joins us Behind the Barricade to discuss opera, being an Eagle scout, and being saved by Teddy Grahams.
Tim Gulan joins us Behind the Barricade to talk being Thenardier. He also brought his dog, so that was fun.
Behind the Barricade welcomes new Jean Valjean, Peter Lockyer, to the show. Peter talks about doing Les Miz with me 15 years ago on Broadway and the challenges of tackling the hardest role in musical theater.
Our own Enjolras, Jeremy Hays, joins me to talk baseball, overcoming obstacles, and the horror of the Wonkavator.
Max Quinlan finally joins us to talk about being Marius, jumping off of things, and face percussion performance art.
Joe Spieldenner joins me to discuss being Graintaire, the correct pronunciation of Bamatabois, and his unquenchable thirst for rabbit blood.
Here is a bit of fun with our Cossette, Jenny Latimer. She comes clean on rappelling, being a nerd, and her love of Hagrid.
The first in what will no doubt be a podcast that becomes critical to Western Civ...appropriately recorded in my bed
