We are IN THE ROOM with Samantha Williams (Caroline, or Change, Dear Evan Hansen)! The effervescently sweet Samantha Williams won all of our hearts as Caroline's free-spirited daughter Emmie Thibodeaux in the recent revival of Caroline, or Change at Studio 54. She won rave reviews for her portrayal and we cannot wait to see what she does next! Actually, we know what she's doing next - originating a role in a new musical at the Goodman Theatre this summer called “Life After.” Casual. We talk Quisisana Resort (is it a cult?), Broadway shut down (the day of their invited dress! The nerve!), starring in Dear Evan Hansen whilst still in college (fierce!), finishing college (yay!), recording the Caroline cast album (bucket list!), working with Sharon D. Clarke (QUEEN!), working with Tony Kushner (normal genius!), dream roles, and more!  @sawmie @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We are IN THE ROOM with Broadway darling & DJ - Ari Groover! (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical Head Over Heels, Holler If Ya Hear Me). Look who's back…. back again. We have returned from hibernation with the one, the only - Ari Groover! Steven is now working at TINA on Broadway as a dresser, and brought his fabulous colleague Ari into our virtual room. Ari has been a fixture of NYC theatre for awhile, and is currently starring in TINA as Tina's sister Alline and also understudies the role of Tina. But Ari made waves the night she went on as Tina in March ‘22. And you probably didn't know, Marjorie, that Ari was not just any Tina, she was the Tina. She didn't lose just a wig, that wig was on fire. And when that wig flew into the air, it flew higher, further, faster than any wig has ever flown before, hitting a transformer and showering the darkened theatre with sparks! And when it finally did come down, Marjorie, Ari threw that tousled wig into the wings, and 12,000 people jumped to their feet for sixteen and one-half minutes of uninterrupted thunderous ovation, as flames illuminated her tear-stained face! And that, Marjorie – just so you will know and your children will someday know – is the night that the wig flew OFF at TINA! @ari_grooves @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We made it to the end of 2021, babes!! We can't wait to roll up our proverbial sleeves and start another year. Steven started a new career path and tells us all about his wild nights on Broadway (during Covid!) as a dresser! Dana is speaking quietly as to not wake up her new baby nephew. Steven has a long lost family member? Dana loves her Buy Nothing Astoria group. We play our end-of-year game called “What Were You Doing On?” where we choose random dates from 2021 and recount said days. It's thrilling. If you made it to the end of the episode, you A) are our moms, B) are our best friends, or C) forgot the episode was playing. WE LOVE OUR LISTENERS and we hope you have a grand end of 2021, and a fabulous new year.

We are IN THE ROOM with singer-songwriter Eleri Ward! (New album: “A Perfect Little Death” by her - let's say… alter ego - SUF/SOND is now on Spotify and Apple Music). www.eleriward.com NEW BEST FRIEND ALERT: Our first podcast of 2021 with a guest couldn't have been more delightful! Eleri Ward is a musical theatre-lovin' Chicago native who went viral on TikTok due to the fact that she's undeniably great at mashing up her indie rock influences (most notably, Sufjan Stevens) with Mr. Stephen Sondheim. Hence, her SUF/SOND brainchild. We chat about Boston, the actual horror of moving, our shared love of “Documentary Now: Original Cast Album: Co-Op,” pop music influences, high school, exorcising demons, social media hacks, creative output (yay!) and so much more. PS. Eleri's second EP "Friction" JUST came out and is available on all platforms! June truly is busting out all over and we are into it. @eleriward @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork @ghostlightrecords We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

Happy 2021, listeners! We took January to refuel (also Dana moved to Wisconsin for a couple months) but we are BACK with a new series: Broadway Blindspot! We all have one so once a month Steven and/or Dana will watch a piece of theatre they've never seen and report back. We invite you to watch with us! *Normally these episodes will be released in their entirety, but due to a very, very sad technical oopsie-doopsie-whoopsie this first one will be released as a two-parter so come back next week for Dana's reactions! As a HUGE Sondheim nut, Steven couldn't live with the fact that Dana had never seen Sweeney Todd. Thankfully, the original tour was filmed in 1982 and Dana didn't have to watch the film. Come listen to what Dana thinks she knows about Mr. Todd and Mrs. Lovett and join us next week for Part 2!! We'd love to hear what's in your Broadway Blindspot! Let us know! Please rate us.

Just us today, kids! We’re going to keep this one short and sweet. We play our favorite end of the year calendar game - “What Were You Doing On…” and well, not much on the calendar this year for obvious reasons, but we play anyway because the show must go on!

If you don’t follow @adventcarolndar on Instagram & TikTok yet, this is your 10 minute warning to do so immediately. Joel & Julia have been dropping some serious Holiday HEAT with their one minute Christmas Caroling DOOZIES. 25 new holiday carols for 25 days, starting on December 1st! They are hilarious, catchy, highly creative, epically stupid, and have become essential holiday viewing. We talk origin stories of them meeting each other, becoming comedy partners, starting the advent calendar songs and sharing them with the world, singing back up for Ben Platt on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and how they collaborate on writing these tiny-silly-dumb-and-executed-perfectly miracles. In the middle of the episode, Dana falls over her box of Playbills and onto her face. She is ok… just FYI. And no podcast featuring Joel & Julia would be complete without an original tune made up on the spot - we leave you with “Pigeon the Teacup Reindeer."   As we head into cooler weather, we will be getting cozy with some of our favorite cast mates from various shows and “things.” We are calling this mini-series “GETTIN’ COZY WITH CASTMATES,” natch. So put on your sweaters, pour yourself a hot chai, and join us for some little mini-reunions! Double the pleasure, double the fun! @adventcarolndar @joelwaggoner @juliamat @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We are IN THE ROOM with our favorite “undie rock” duo - The Skivvies!  The Skivvies bare it all on this episode of “Gettin’ Cozy With Castmates!” You’ll get answers to questions such as - what was Lauren Molina buying at Rite Aid when she heard Joe Biden was elected? Lauren & Nick clench their butt cheeks during what song during their shows? How did Nick’s actor/musician version of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” come to fruition? What vehicle did they bond in on their first day of meeting each other? What song did they BOTH happen to sing at their respective senior showcases in college? What is Lauren’s best advice for creatives?  The Rocky Horror Skivvies Album is out now on iTunes and Spotify!

We are IN THE ROOM with our new favorite ghost enthusiast, Jacob James! Today we welcome our first Canadian - coming to us straight from Stratford, Ontario! Jacob James is a professional actor, Professor at Queen’s University, Artistic Director of the Theatre Curation Project (subscribe to the channel on YouTube - link below!) and most fittingly for this Halloween season - a casual ghost hunter who may have “the talent.” He definitely has the stories to back it up! Jacob shares many real life spooky tales with us and he also brought a couple audio clips of what he picked up on his EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) reader. We’re buying one immediately. Ever since Jacob was little, he has been able to intuit spirits and unexplainable vibrations surrounding him. As he has gotten older, he has defined himself as a skeptical believer, while at the same time - has leaned in to learning more about the things that have happened to him in his life. We have to agree - some of the things we hear in today’s episode are completely chill inducing! Happy Halloween everyone!

We are IN THE ROOM with two of our favorite cast members from Kinky Boots: Jen Perry & Blair Goldberg!  You know Jen Perry as Trish from Kinky Boots - but did you know she is an OG cast member??? She was also in Mamma Mia on Broadway and we are unhealthily obsessed with her. Blair has the unique perspective of being both in the National tour of Kinky Boots and in the Broadway company. She has been on Broadway since she was little - her first show was starring in Annie Get Your Gun with our queen Bernadette Peters. Also fully obsessed. Jen & Blair share the backstage juice with us: they cover tricks to being cool moms on Broadway, filthy hardcore rapping, backstage naked dance parties, mice, the final performance, cut moments from the show,   and how to give your nearest and dearest an enema in their time of need! Also… ghosts. It gets a little spooky, ya’ll. As we head into cooler weather, we will be getting cozy with some of our favorite cast mates from various shows.

We are IN THE ROOM with media personality and Broadway’s original online super fan LAURA HEYWOOD!  You know how Dana missed co-hosting an episode of ITR? Well that’s because she has been doing double duty - directing/editing/producing a new show called “Broadway Fanatic With Laura Heywood” for the new streaming service Broadway on Demand! Dana & Laura created a joyful series which celebrates Broadway fans who are creating their own theatre-related content! Each episode features a handful of creative and inspired “Broadway Fanatics” and Laura reacts to them right along with the audience. We chat with Laura about how she has created her own space in the world by doing what she loves and following her joy. Laura created the anonymous Twitter account @BroadwayGirlNYC in 2009 and in the years since, has become a critical tastemaker and important advocate for all things New York Theatre. This is seriously a masterclass in unapologetically being true to who you are and letting your fan flag fly!

We are IN THE ROOM with film & tv director Jamie Babbit (But I’m a Cheerleader, Russian Doll, Silicon Valley, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Gilmore Girls, upcoming: A League of Their Own & Only Murders in the Building)! Steven & Dana go to LA for an hour to hang out virtually with the incredibly cool and accomplished film & tv director Jamie Babbit. We are oozing with excitement about her upcoming projects: the new take on “A League of Their Own” and “Only Murders in the Building” starring Steve Martin, Martin Short (Dana’s boyfriend), and Selena Gomez where they… wait for it… start a podcast together. Her resume is the longest - having directed *almost* every tv show in the land, but her real bread & buttah is indie filmmaking. This queen got her chops from working with Martin Scorsese in film in the early days of her career and Ryan Murphy in tv. We get a really candid look at just how difficult/exhilarating it is to be a director - putting massive puzzles together and flying by the seat of your pants whilst holding a hastily crafted pb&j. Also, lesbians are great. @jamiebabbit @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

QUICK NOTE: Dana is the busiest person of 2020 and was unable to join us! She's listening to this AFTER you. No spoilers! Also -- Steven edited this one. LOLZ. Julien Havard has been dressing (and undressing) your favorite Broadway stars for over 25 years. Perhaps most notably, he was Sutton Foster's dresser from Thoroughly Modern Millie to Violet. Check out Sutton's 2011 Tony speech!! We cozy up while Julien talks about how he found his way to wardrobe and when he realized that to be a good star dresser you also need to be a skilled therapist, assistant, confidant, support system, and security guard all wrapped into one. Julien also talks us through the three shows (of his staggering 27) he loved working on the most and reminds us that not every actor/dresser relationship is a good fit. Julien is also a BRILLIANT visual artist! Check out his instagram!

We are IN THE ROOM with Asmeret Ghebremichael (Book of Mormon! Dreamgirls! The Wiz: Live! Legally Blonde! Wicked! Spamelot! Get Even on BBC!) Asmeret is a first generation American - her parents emigrated from North East Africa (Eritrea) - and she studied communications at NYU. Little did she know that the universe had her in the palm of its hand from day one. Asmeret has really done it all when it comes to theatre - growing up doing dance competitions with Abby Lee Miller (ommmmmg can’t wait for the memoir!), starring in multiple hit Broadway shows, taking bows in the West End, and doing The Wiz: Live! on NBC. She’s got a few more tricks up her sleeve, so follow her closely - this girl is on fire. Thoughtful and hilarious, Asmeret gives us a candid look into what her experience has been thus far in her career. Bonus feature: Lauren Molina chimes in! Check out her incredible piece entitled “I’m tired of being the token Black friend.” https://broadwaynews.com/author/asmeret-ghebremichael/ @asmeretghebremichael  @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We are IN THE ROOM with J. Harrison Ghee (Kinky Boots! Mrs. Doubtfire! High Maintenance on HBO! Raising Dion on Netflix!) We chat with the divine J. Harrison Ghee who was about to open Mrs. Doubtfire on Broadway when the quarantine went into effect and he tells us what it was like to make his debut on Broadway in the role Lola in Kinky Boots as well as touring with the show internationally. He is the first established drag queen to take on the role. Growing up in North Carolina as the son of a pastor, J had music in his bones and took a leap of faith by choosing the career of a professional entertainer. You’ll never guess what his mom wanted him to be!

We are IN THE ROOM with the Queen of all mediums - Annie Golden (Orange is the New Black! Bleeding Love musical podcast! High Maintenance! Assassins! Hair! Voilet! The Fully Monty! Broadway Bounty Hunter!) Annie Golden currently stars as Madame Floy in the new world premiere podcast production of “Bleeding Love,” directed and edited by Harris Doran. The podcast also stars Rebecca Naomi Jones, Marc Kudisch, Sarah Stiles, Taylor Trensch, and Tony Vincent. The piece takes place in a world that is too dangerous to go outside, where a starry-eyed teen cellist risks leaving her apartment to win the love of the rebel punk next door. A demented and heart-sitrring musical fairytale, made for the times we live in.  Bleeding Love: https://broadwaypodcastnetwork.com/podcast/bleeding-love-a-post-apocalyptic-new-musical-podcast/ Annie talks about becoming fluent in technology, the making of Bleeding Love, her musical influences (David Bowie, Edith Piaf, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra), making the music video for her hit song “Hang Up the Phone” and performing on Letterman, having parts & songs written for her like Broadway Bounty Hunter, her upcoming series called “Filthy Rich” which premieres this fall on FOX, playing a traumatic mute on OITNB, #imisshugs, making quirkiness a career, working with OITNB creator Jenji Kohan, her road from playing Jeannie in Hair to playing Squeaky Fromme in Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins (and how Kate Bush was a key ingredient), watching movies with her dad, CBGB’s, being open to the universe. Annie Golden is the coolest chic in the room. Always.  @theanniegolden @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

Steven is famously still in Washington Heights, NY. Dana is hunkered down in Astoria, NY! Grab someone you love and dive into this highly inspiring chat with the immensely talented and REAL AF Carly Jibson! Topics we cover: being attracted to telling stories that have heightened sensibilities, quarantine therapy, seeking answers from leaders, Brené Brown, the sexiness of the stock market – (yes, you read that correctly), addiction, being plucked from high school to be a Broadway STAR from her hometown in Michigan, her laser-sharp focused adventure that started with leaving high school and lead to starring in Hairspray, losing her dear mother, the definition of success, chasing the dragon, artistic freedom, giving yourself permission to change course, working with Greg Garcia, Tig Notaro, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Stephnie Weir, and more!

We are IN THE ROOM with an absolute ray of sunshine - John Hill! (Co-host of “Andy Cohen Live” & host of The Feels on SiriusXM.)  We talk body hair, the essentiality of ring lights, quarantine catch-up, how the kitchen is the office now, Bruce Vilanch-ishness, living in Marc Shaiman’s LA guest house, creating his own work, and being a reality tv producer/show-runner. There are also utterly bizarre stories about Linda Hart showing up at Gelson’s after having just been robbed, driving (& getting diarrhea in) Kristen Bell’s Jetta, and his inspired choice of stepping away from reality tv shows – and moving into scripted and late night. We also dip into his alter ego Helvetica, and certainly get into his past life as a Broadway performer (Hairspray, The Boy From Oz), and the cult hit “Bare: A Pop Opera.” John Hill is nothing if not the ultimate multi-hyphenate prince of showbiz. PS – yes, Dana told him the story.  @johnarthurhill @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We are IN THE ROOM with Austin Rodriguez (Head of Props – Beetlejuice! Company! War Paint! Phantom of the Opera tour!) This is our first chat using a new quarantine set up – so audio might feel a bit raw but it’s still gorge! Our guest this week - Austin Rodriguez – is really is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to “making things.” He is a master on Broadway AND in the kitchen. From being the giant finale sandworm in Beetlejuice, to whipping up homemade bacon fat tortillas, & limoncello, we get our creative juices flowing and mouths watering in this episode. This is our first podcast post-Broadway pausing, so we get an insider’s experience of closing up shop (temporarily!) Austin was about to open COMPANY as Head of Props and tells us about how the production had to change course immediately. Also - Austin’s baby just turned 1, and has the same birthday as Dana’s nephew, so we talk about the wonder of babes. @austinprops @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

We are IN THE ROOM with a true icon – Oscar, Tony, and Golden Globe Award winner Joel Grey! (Cabaret! Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish! Wicked! Chicago! Anything Goes!) Where to even begin? If you grew up obsessed with theatre, Joel Grey is part of the fabric of your life. We were so honored to share a Saturday afternoon with him in his beautiful West Village apartment overlooking the Hudson, although Steven sees it multiple times a week, having worked with Joel for a number of years. Joel shares what it was like directing the must-see Yiddish Fiddler as if it was a Chekov play, anti-semitism, and starting acting at the age of 9. We talk about identity as well as who we are at the core, Hal Prince, Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, The Spike Jones Orchestra & his father – Mickey Katz, his love of photography, and new upcoming series with John Lithgow & Jeff Bridges.  @joelgnyc @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes!

Nancy doles out gorgeous advice about putting in the work, not giving yourself an “out,” and saying yes. Steven & I talk about our first Opel moments. We also hear about some magical musical moments including the time Nancy was in the room listening to Mandy Patinkin sing Finishing The Hat for the very first time.

You think we'd spoil the announcement in the description?!   As if.

Completely unnecessary mini episode alerting you all that we have some news a brewin’ in our cauldrons which we will disclose on next week’s episode! Happy October, Roomers!

We are IN THE ROOM with the fabulous Courter Simmons! (aka drag queen Cacophony Daniels! Jersey Boys!) We talk about our love for Bette Midler because why would this episode be different than all the rest? Ever the inspiration, Courter began his career by taking a literal page out of Carol Burnett’s book and moved to NYC to pursue his dream. His drag queen persona – Cacophony Daniels - was born while he was on tour with Jersey Boys and she’s made quite a name for herself in NYC. Courter and his husband Jason also adopted an awesome kid and we get ALL the deets on how that happened! You can find Courter in Jersey Boys (sometimes!) and you can find Cacophony around town hosting things like the Drag Debutant Ball at Albatross in Astoria and Broadway Monday’s at Hardware Bar every Monday! @cacophonydaniels @courtersimmons @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy IN THE ROOM WITH STEVEN & DANA is delightfully sponsored in part by Babe Rosé (@drinkbabe) and Broadway Crew (broadwaycrew)!

We are IN THE ROOM with TV producer Hilary Leavitt (Hulu! Cher lover! Lesbian!) who also happens to be one of Dana’s dearest friends!

We broke down why What the Constitution Means to Me should have won the Tony for Best Play, what a tv producer actually does, Quisisana “where the pines are,” living in NY and LA, her philosophy on how to spend time, and hot tips on starting out in the business.
