    Episode 16

    Show notes

    It's good to see me isn't it!!!!??? No need to respond, that was rhetorical ;)

    Jackie's back from vacation and we're catching up on some major headlines we missed.

    First up, what is happening with Sunday in the Park with George? Ariana Grande announced she’s taking a step back from the spotlight after finishing her tour and officially pulled out of the highly anticipated revival. Then, just weeks later, Jonathan Bailey announced he was leaving too. Why did he follow Ariana out the door? Is this production even still happening?! Can Lea Michele step in even though Dot has a line about "not being able to read"????!!!

    Then, Jackie remembers the legendary Dolly Parton and breaks down what her passing could mean for Dolly: A True Original Musical, the autobiographical musical she had been personally developing for Broadway. Literally will the show go on?

    Coming this Winter/Spring: a highly anticipated new musical from Lin-Manuel Miranda, a Paddington London transfer that is questionable, and of course, Evita directed by Jamie Lloyd starring Rachel Zegler.

  15. The Birds Are FED!!!!!!!!!

    Episode 14

    Show notes

    This week we're talking to the girl behind #FEEDTHEBIRDSGATE.

    And if you have no idea what I'm talking about ....13-year-old Coco Marshall (@coco.marshall80) went viral after her dad (@champ_benn) shared a video of her performing "Feed the Birds" in her community theater production of Mary Poppins. Many people in the comments said Coco sounded more like Mariah Carey than Mary Poppins and she sparked a wave of controversy and debate across #theatertok and beyond. She's continuing to post "yaaaas-ified" covers of musical theater classics with sensational runs and riffs and the internet is eating it up....eating it up and leaving nothing for the birds to eat...

    Jackie talks with Coco and her dad about what it was like to suddenly become the center of the internet's attention, and how they handled the criticism and support.

    Episode 13

    Show notes

  17. VLOG: we're trying a different type of episode this week...

    Episode 12

    Show notes

    ****if you're on apple podcasts or another audio only platform i suggest you go over to spotify or youtube for the true vlog video experience :)

    hiiii guys... thanks for bearing with me as this episode is comes out a day later than normal. i've been in a bit of a funk lately (mercury in retrograde amiright?!) so instead of forcing myself to churn out a video that didn't feel authentic, i decided to let you into a little sliver of my life. i've always used broadway and theater as a way to reset and pick myself up when i am struggling with my mental health and so this week's episode is a peak into just that. we're going to times square, we're getting a chicken parm, and we're seeing a broadway show!
