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. We’re gagged for Emma. And you will be too. J’adore.

She dishes on working with Taylor Swift and Idris Elba in the Cats film, dancing for Little Mix and Robbie Williams, and so much more. Nothing is off the table as we chat about Sophie’s sweet fiancé, UK accents, and acting alongside Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod in One Day.

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. We reminisce on Grace’s iconic Broadway debut as Marya in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, as well as returning to the Imperial Theatre in Bad Cinderella alongside her hunks and Carolee Carmello. Listen in for behind the scenes tales from Grace’s time in Sleep No More, the process of writing her musical In the Green, and hilarious tales from her country estate. We had the best time with Queen Grace McLean. You can see her slay in Suffs 8 times a week on Broadway, as well as in Penelope at Joe’s Pub this Monday, July 22!
