NOW WE'RE TALKING with Drew Gasparini

Alex Brightman is a two time Tony nominee known for his work on Broadway in shows such as School of Rock and Beetlejuice. Andrew Kober has been starring in Broadway shows for over a decade in shows such as Hair, Les Miserables, Beautiful and MORE. F. Michael Haynie is a stage favorite known for their work in Dogfight, Wicked, and currently stars as Olaf in the national tour of Frozen. And I, well… I’m Drew and I hang with these lovable shitheads all the time as they are my best pals and frequent collaborators. Once upon a time someone called our foursome “The (M)orons” and it stuck. It’s ALWAYS a joy spending some time with them. So join us, and MEET THE MORONS! Brighty, Gaspo, Klobby, and F.

What’s the best way to get Lin-Manuel to give you all his money? Fergie L. Philippe breaks down the best method for me. For that reason alone you should be tuning into our conversation. But if that’s not enough for you, we get into some real conversations about the Muppets, Fergie’s love for performing and puppetry, embarrassing sports injuries, what his daily routine is as a star of the blockbuster Broadway hit “Hamilton” and we play a game of MOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTIONS!

Kate Baldwin is not only a Broadway Icon, she’s a terrific hang, a super mom, and all in all a mega bad ass. We alllll know Kate from her Tony Nominated work in shows such as Finnian’s Rainbow, Hello Dolly, but I bet you’d never guess where she met her husband, actor Graham Rowat! Of COURSE we love Kate’s work as an incredible singer heard on such Original cast albums such as Big Fish and Superhero, but did you know that Kate Baldwin might actually make the best breakfast sandwich you’ll ever have in your life?! We take time to discuss Sondheim (RIP), our time working on the Karate Kid together, parenthood, food, food, food, and food.

Matt Doyle is a Broadway treasure. Is there anything worse than seeing the friends you grew up with not age at all, meanwhile you feel like you’ve aged 4 times faster than most humans?? That’s how I feel when I saw Matt on the other end of this interview. I’ve known him since we were 12 and shortly after our adolescents he became a Broadway staple starring in shows such as Spring Awakening, War Horse, Book of Mormon, and so much more. He’s about to make his return to Broadway in the highly anticipated revival of COMPANY!

What lullabies did we listen to as kids? Do we remember how WEIRD the children’s stories we were read as kids were? Does Tony nominee indeed have a dog fighting ring in her basement? Will I ever finally get Jonathan Groff to pay attention to the nonsensical beef I’m trying to start with him? WHO KNOWS! But we talk about all of this and more on this week’s episode featuring guests Caitlin Kinnunen and performer/writer Ryan Bauer-Walsh.
