    SIX with Teale Dvornik and Gianna Yanelli

    25/1/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    "God Save the Queen(s)!" This week we're covering not one, but six of the greatest divas currently on Broadway.

    Join us as we discuss the musical SIX, and the history behind it, with two very special guests: author, tour guide, and Broadway dresser Teale Dvornik (WICKED), and the current reigning "queen of green," Gianna Yanelli (SIX, MEAN GIRLS)!

    Learn more about Teale and her business through her website: The Backstage Blonde.

    Be sure to follow Gianna on Instagram @giannayanelli, and while we're thrilled Dylan Mulvaney is joining the Broadway cast, be sure to send Gianna some love in her final performances!

    THE SOUND OF MUSIC with Tyler Joseph Ellis

    04/1/2026 | 1h 24 mins.
    Happy New Year, listeners! We're starting off 2026 with one of the most famous musicals of all time, but while everyone has at least heard of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, most don't know its profound place in musical theatre history.

    Join guest Tyler Joseph Ellis (SHUCKED) as we discuss nuns, Nazis, and of course, the sound of music. Everyone showed up to this episode wearing Rodgers & Hammerstein swag, so rest assured, this beloved classic was in good hands.

    WAR PAINT with Caden Zane Marshall

    21/12/2025 | 1h 19 mins.
    WAR PAINT was the Broadway follow up to the musical GREY GARDENS, so of course it's the GREY GARDENS follow up on "A Musical Theatre Podcast."

    This week, actor, interpreter, and influencer Caden Zane Marshall joins us to talk about two women whose impact has changed the world forever. (And no, we don't mean Christine Ebersole and Patti LuPone...this time.)

    Join us for a lively conversation about makeup, music and spreadsheets, and try to forgive Jeff when he sticks up for capitalism. "Think Pink!"

    GREY GARDENS with Drew Droege

    30/11/2025 | 1h 4 mins.
    This week we're spending another winter in a summer town as we cover the terrific 2006 musical GREY GARDENS.

    Here to not only have his cake but chew it and masticate it is the great Drew Droege (MESSY WHITE GAYS, TITANIQUE). Drew takes us through lesser-known accounts and perspectives on the Beale women, all while raising up the non-conformist ladies whose voices and humor give us life!

    BONNIE & CLYDE with Ivan Menchell

    09/11/2025 | 52 mins.
    Today we finish up our fall American Dream Miniseries with a surprise fourth episode dedicated to the listener requested BONNIE & CLYDE.

    This musical, maybe even more than the others we've covered in this miniseries, most easily represents the experience of Americans in 2025. Let that sink in for a minute!

    Here to discuss it is the show's book writer, Ivan Menchell (BONNIE & CLYDE, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, DEATH NOTE) who provides fascinating context regarding his approach to these legendary characters and the explanation behind the show's short Broadway run.

    Follow Ivan on Instagram at @ivanmenchell
