Dylan and Connor are joined by Sophia Anne Caruso (Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen, Beetlejuice). The first treat of spooky season is having this star join us for DRAMA! Sophia is currently starring in the late Duncan Sheik’s final musical, while simultaneously releasing her debut hyperpop album: ON ECSTATIC. Busy! Woman!

Trust we get the tea on the duet with Sophia’s partner Sky Lakota-Lynch, their love story, and respective experiences with Broadway fandoms. Nothing is off the table as we discuss the dangers of going viral and the double edged sword of being the “Dead Mom Girl” while building a multi-faceted career. This performer, writer, painter, person also touches on rocking her short red hairstyle and why she shed her platinum blonde look to embrace a new era. These three connect over a love for Duncan Sheik, stories from Grey House on Broadway, celebrity-driven productions, and the gaggy Jeremy O. Harris viral interview.

She is making both her Broadway debut AND Glinda debut at the same. Gagged! These fast friends get to gabbing, recapping Dylan’s Chicago trip, Emma’s early professional theatre jobs upstate, and comparisons to Kristin Chenoweth. Hear about Emma’s road to Broadway, and her faith-fueled philosophy on the ups and downs through it all. She praises her green girl, Keri René Fuller, and Carl Man, British Fiyero of our dreams, and why NOW is the perfect moment to see Wicked on Broadway.

Y’all are in for a treat, as the content creator mastermind behind the viral character “Paloma Diamond” is here for some DRAMA. Julian, who is making his NYC stage debut as William Barfée, takes us on an international journey from his fascinating roots in Hong Kong, New Zealand, and beyond. He opens up about taking on the “Magic Foot”-wielding role, his rehearsal process, and memorable spellers who have stopped by the bee (Matteo Lane!). Of course, we get into all things P.

Dylan and Connor are joined by two-time Tony Award nominee Constantine Rousouli (Titanique, The Big Gay Jamboree). Five and a half years after his first appearance on the podcast, Connie is BACK for a truly gay ol’ time with the twins. As the star and co-writer of Titanique, Constantine spills on the musical comedy’s kooky crazy journey from an off-Broadway theatre (below a Gristedes) all the way to international stages and finally BROADWAY. The friendship forged between these three off-pod is on full display in this episode, full of laughs and love. Hear about the trusty Banana Republic khakis that Connie wears as Jack Dawson, becoming the Gay Lin-Manuel Miranda, and his Frank-N-Furter dreams. You want the tea on Connie’s DMs after a performance of Titanique? Listen and learn, babe!

Back on Broadway after a roaring 20 years, Naturi stars as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. Iconic bob, pivotal pants, and new money, honey! Naturi speaks about being the first Black woman to play this role full-time on Broadway, returning to her roots as a singer, and the power of manifesting. This is a full circle moment for the twins, as they saw Naturi as Little Inez in Hairspray back in 2007 and loved her in the Fame film. Trust we get into the 3LW lore, divas! Naturi opens up about reconciling with Adrienne Bailon, memories from the TRL tour with Destiny’s Child (and Mama Tina Knowles!), and hard-learned lessons as a teenager in the music business. We cover Naturi’s appearances on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” with Pinky Cole, being Phaedra Parks' twin, and if she’d ever do reality TV.

This multi-talented performer has taken the theatre community by storm, appearing in four Broadway shows in four years.

Dylan and Connor are joined once again by Matt Koplik (Broadway Breakdown) for a preview of the fall 2026 Broadway season! It’s always a delight to share the mic with this brilliant, opinionated, and hilarious fellow theatre podcaster. The boys discuss their most anticipated productions coming to NYC (on and off Broadway) this fall, including the spooky shows haunting NYC: Paranormal Activity and 2:22: A Ghost Story, as well as the celebrity-led revivals of Other Desert Cities, The Imaginary Invalid, A Few Good Men, Inter Alia, and Much Ado About Nothing. Listen as they gag for Jasmine Amy Rodgers’ generational run of credits (so far), rumors of Heather Headley as Mother Abbess, and crush on Tom Blyth, Bradley Whitford, and Hunter Parrish. Will the trio of new musicals hitting the Main Stem this fall measure up? They get into Wanted, Galileo, and Dolly, as well as the reimagined revival of The Fantasticks. It wouldn’t be a collab with Broadway Breakdown without Matt’s signature theatre knowledge, mention of Yondr pouches, and a little Spring Awakening.
