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! On this episode we play “Who would you Squid Game first?” - we play a rousing game of FMK, and we talk about the very wrong casting choices we were stuck with as teenagers.

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. From our discussion about their upcoming project THE RAINBOW LULLABY to our heated exchange about whether we'd rather have fingers as nipples or nipples as fingers, it was a laugh a minute with these two.

Last week we spoke to a student of mine. This week we are talking to a mentor of mine! An amazing man with a storied life and career in both the arts and corporate America. He's an entrepreneur and a business owner. He is the reason I am here writing musicals today because it was his support and believe in me that kept me in NYC… and now look at me! I'm hot shit! And it's all thanks to today's guest. My mentor. My teacher. My friend. Louis Sacco!

Today's guest is a little different than our typical lineup of household names from show biz. She is a 16 year old actor, singer, and writer who is just getting her start in the industry. She's not a household name YET, but mark my words, she *will* be. Her name is Elisa Martini and I've had the great privilege and honor of being her coach, teacher, and mentor over the last couple years. The reason I had her on the podcast was because there is something remarkable about her drive and passion toward all things “the arts.” I think it is important for young people and vets of the business alike to hear the goal setting, hard-working ambition of this young up and comer. It's INSPIRING! Listen up world, and get ready for a star on the rise!  Follow our host Drew Gasparini on twitter and instagram: @drewgasparini and tiktok @thedrewgasparini Follow our podcast on twitter @NWT_Pod or Instagram @nwtpodcast.

Ann Harada is a Broadway legend! We ALL know Ann as the original Christmas Eve in Avenue Q on Broadway and the West End, but did you know that this nifty New Yorker is actually from Hawaii!? We know that Ann was recently seen in the new hit on Apple+ series “Schmigadoon” but did you know that Ann got a real life scary diagnosis during the pandemic?? Ann is one of the most persevering artists in the business, and she time out of her vacation to talk to my dumb ass! It was a joy to catch, and it will be an even bigger joy to LISTEN! So buckle up, because now we're talking with the one and only Ann Harada!

We discuss which cartoons gave us our sexual awakening, and we toss a big middle finger to the powers that be in Texas for their cockamamie laws against women! Meghan is the real deal. A great hang, an absolute bad ass, and someone I had the great privilege of speaking with! She has gone from performing as an opera singer all over the world, to becoming an Andrew Lloyd Weber favorite, playing Christine in Love Never Dies, and currently in Phantom of the Opera which makes it's return to Broadway on October 22nd!

We are not worthy! The Queen is in the building. Queen Lesli that is. Lesli Margherita is one of the funniest and most kick ass people in the business. Of course many of you know her from her Olivier award winning performance as Inez in Zorro the Musical on the West End, but did you know that she covered LA and London well before she even made her Broadway debut! We all fell in LOVE with Lesli when she starred as Mrs. Wormwood in the hit Broadway musical Matilda, but did you know that this bi-coastal bad ass thinks me, Drew Gasparini, could be a musical theatre sex symbol?!?! (Calendar to be released soon!) She's gone everything from the West End to Broadway to off-Broadway to the screen, she's even shared scenes with her crush from N*Sync, JC Chasez, and lots more. Get ready for laughs and a great time, because NOW we're talking with the iconic Lesli Margherita!

Sit your ass right down and LISTEN! Broadway's secret weapon is here! It's Raymond J Lee! We all know Ray from his work on stage in such shows at Mamma Mia, Soft Power, and Groundhog Day, but did you know Ray was supposed to be a doctor! I'm sure you all know Ray from his amazing work in shows like Aladdin or song cycles like We Aren't Kids Anymore (written by yours truly), but did you know his parents LIED TO HIM about being accepted into Columbia! Ray has a fascinating life, and he's been able to prove so many people wrong, break down walls, and become one of Broadway's most unique and gifted talents. This was a joy to get to sit and shoot the shit with the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Raymond J Lee!!!

Tony Nominee Lilli Cooper returns! And this time she's joined by Tony Nominee Ethan Slater! Both starred in Spongebob Squarepants on Broadway, but did you know that these two went to college together! Lilli and Ethan not only perform together, but collaborate together as well! Along with Nick Blaemire, Ethan wrote the new concept album “Edge of the World” and Lilli joined the talented team to lend her voice to the album. We talk about everything from breakfast cereal, to the biggest lies we've all told, to their new album, to Lilli's pregnancy. Oh yeah, we also reinstate my beef with beloved Broadway actor Jonathan Groff. Jonathan if you're listening, please come on the pod so we can have it out once and for all (you charming, beautiful man!)

Jumping f***ing jesus! Natalie Weiss is in the house! Natalie and I talk about everything from eating spaghetti in bed, sending food back at a restaurant, and what it takes to be a bad ass entrepreneur while also being an artist! We all know Natalie from her stage work in shows like Les Miz, and Everyday Rapture on Broadway, but did you know that this viral sensation has no strategy when it comes to building her empire?! We all know her from her highly popular online series BREAKING DOWN THE RIFFS, but I bet you'd never guess that Natalie has an entourage of friends in their young 20's!? We all love Natalie and her amazing concert performances, but I bet you'd never guess that Natalie Weiss suffered severely from thin brows in middle school! Well, we discuss all over this and more, including her approach to being a business woman in the arts and an influence on younger people. Tune in, and turn it up!

We are back!!! Season Two, bitches! Here we go! We are starting season two with someone I have been a fan of since I was in 5th grade! The iconic Adam Pascal! We all know Adam for his Tony nominated performance as Roger in the original cast of RENT, and the fact that he reprised that roll in the blockbuster movie adaptation, but did you know that Adam Pascal made a guest appearance on the cult webseries "Submissions Only" singing a song called "We Should F*** Other People". We loved Adam in the movie School of Rock, and of course we know him for originating the roll of Radames in the Broadway smash AIDA, but did you know that Aida didn't even get a nomination for Best Musical??? Did you know that Adam Pascal could eat a bagel with tuna every day of his life and be totally happy doing so??? I bet you didn't know that he never even intended to become a musical theatre performer before landing the roll of Roger in Rent, or that he has a very special upcoming streamed concert event called ADAM PASCAL SO FAR... start August 17th, 2021! Well we discuss all of this and a whole lot more on this episode of Now We're Talking! Make sure to follow Adam on his socials @adampascal for more details, and as always follow me and this podcast on twitter and instagram @drewgasparini or @NWT_Pod.

Andrew Barth Feldman is an absolute gentleman! This was one of my favorite conversations of 2021 so far, and I'm honored the man himself sat down with me to talk about everything and anything. Of course we know that this Jimmy Award winner went on to make a splash as the title role in Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen, but did you know that he has always dreamed of opening a Tiki Bar and restaurant in his apartment! We are thrilled to see his success span toward TV as Antoine in the Disney Plus series, High School Musical: The Series: The Musical, but did you know that he has theorized that Les Mis's Javert is likely a “Lincoln Project” republican! Mark my words, this young man is the next generation's Tom Hanks. He's so charming, likable and talented that he's going to be a household name in no time, and I'm excited to see that happen. We talk about his rise to stardom, his family background, his love for theme restaurants, and we even play a game of “Silly Questions” and “Most Impossible Questions”. Tune in and turn it up, because now we're talking with Mr. Andrew Barth Feldman! You can keep tabs on Andrew's upcoming life moments by following him on his socials @andrewbfeldman.

Broadway and TV star Troy Iwata and I have known each other since I met him as a young new talented and tricked him into paying too much money for a masterclass I was teaching. WHAT A SUCKER!

Emma Hunton is a class act. She currently plays Davia Moss on GOOD TROUBLE, now in its third season. But you know that! I bet you didn’t know that she once had access to LORD OF THE RINGS porn parody! Before her work in TV we all knew Emma from her career on stage as Elphaba in Wicked and Ilsa in Spring Awakening on Broadway, but did you know that if it came down to it, she’d kick Tomi Loren’s small minded ass!?

We talk about Emma’s non-stop career in show business since the age of 6, we talk about her hate for mansplainers.

Alex Wyse is a good friend, and sure, we love him for his theatre performances in shows such as off-Broadway's "Triassic Parq" and Broadway shows such as "Lysistrata Jones" and Deaf West's revival of "Spring Awakening" but I bet you'd never guess that his grandmother was responsible for some of today's most popular advertising slogans? We are all hip to the fact that Alex and Wes Taylor co-created and star in the ground-breaking, Emmy nominated comedy called "The Indoor Boys" but did you know that Andrew Kober was the Mr. Bumble to his Oliver back in Ohio??? How hilarious is that?!?! Not only is he an amazing writer, actor, and Tony nominated producer, he is a tremendous musician and singer and you can even here Alex sing my song "Right Here" from my album I COULD USE A DRINK!

Of course *you* know RSO for his tremendous, game-changing musicals such as WE FOXES or JASPER IN DEADLAND, but did you know one of his musicals actually made an appearance on a certain former presidents reality TV show??? And I'm sure we’ve ALL jammed out to his song-cycle “35MM” with songs inspired by his husband, photographer Matthew Murphy, but I bet you’d never guess which cartoon gave Ryan his sexual awakening!

Rob McClure is a mother f***ing FIXTURE on Broadway. There is something infectious about the way this guy talks about theatre. A perpetual childlike wonder and amazement geared toward everything he does to contribute to the Broadway stage. He makes an audiences theatre experience one they will always remember, because he truly understands the value of a live audience! Sure, he is approaching “legend” territory on Broadway, but did you know his fascination with performing all started when he would perform Vampire movies in the woods… without anyone filming it?!?! I’D TRUST A WEIRDO KID LIKE THAT ENDLESSLY! Of course we know him for his Tony nominate role of Charlie Chaplin in the Broadway musical Chaplin, and his portrayal of Adam Maitland in the Broadway Blockbuster “Beetlejuice” but did you know that he literally cannot wrap his head around people who use a sibilant “S” when they speak?? Can you blame him?!?! Enough with the sibilant “S’s” you guys! Like, the whole world knows the Rob was starring as the title role in the musical adaptation of Mrs. Doubtfire right before the Broadway shut down (and is returning in the role when theaters reopen), but did you know that his grandmother cried more during a performance of Les Miserables than she did at her own husband’s funeral??? WELL BUCKLE UP, GUYS AND GALS, because Rob and I discuss all of that and much more in this weeks’ episode. From his mission statement as a theater kid, to his non-stop career on stage, all the way to a fun game of “the most impossible questions” where I put him through the wringer asking him questions that are nearly impossible to answer. I had a blast with him, and you will too!

If you’re looking for a full-sized, Antonio Banderas body pillow, then Brandon J. Ellis is the man you should be hanging with. Broadway star Brandon J. Ellis and I have been friends for over a decade. You all probably know him as the face of Firehouse Subs, but did you know that he wrote a musical called Balls: The Musical!? …and that it was sponsored by BALLS VODKA?!? Most of you will probably know him as “Davy Zlatic” from the original Broadway cast of the amazing musical Bandstand, but did you know that he used to have a job where he would fart inside of a grandfather clock??? We know Mr. Ellis from his work on TV shows like 30 Rock and Broadway shows like Company, and Once, but I bet you’d never guess what type of furniture he’d want to have a sexual relationship with. Well we discuss it all right here on this episode. From his multi-pronged career in show business, to why no one talks about morning breath in the movies, to which animal he thinks is the cutest, to which Broadway musicals we think are wildly overrated, Brandon and I do a bonafide deep dive discussion about everything and anything! This was a really fun episode to record, and I can promise after listening to this episode, you will all have new love and new respect for the man himself, Mr. Brandon Ellis!

Lizzy McAlpine’s music is so good that it makes me angry. Angry that I can’t be JUST LIKE HER! I had a blast getting to know this wonderful new singer/songwriter. She is working with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Jacob Collier and Dodie, and she’s getting praise from big players such as Sara Bareilles! By now we’ve all heard her amazing debut full length album “Give Me a Minute” which boasts MILLIONS of streams on Spotify! Sure her videos on TikTok and instagram have the whole world talking and buzzing with excitement for her next musical venture, but did you know that Lizzy is actually a theatre kid like you and me?!? It makes me feel good to know that someone as cool as Lizzy is a nerd like us deep down! I adore her and her music and I’m so excited to see what the future holds for the wonderful, talented, beautiful Lizzy McAlpine! Tune in and turn it up, you sexy buttheads!

Andrew Kober has been in every Broadway musical ever. Okay, well, not really. But he’s been in many of them. One of the workingest actors in the game. So of course we all know that he’s performed on the Tony’s twice: first with the revival of Hair and second with the revival of Les Mis. But did you know that he and his son have an adorable online talkshow called “The Asher & Daddy Show”?? We know that Andrew Kober has worked directly with the great Stephen Sondheim and Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber in shows like Sunday in the Park with George and School of Rock, but did you know that he one day wants to be a certified pilot??? NO! Why would you know that? He’s a man with many mysterious qualities, but thankfully my good pal Andrew Kober took the time to sit with me and talk about everything under the sun. From his family, upbringing and odd obsession with Gilbert and Sullivan, all the way to his credit card wizardry.

Like, I KNOW we can’t get enough of Alex’s appearances on TV collaborating with the likes of John Mulaney and Richard Kind, but why don’t we ever talk about his obsession with gambling, or the band he was in in high school?!
