Take The Stairs

Marcus and James are back with a Zoom edition of Take the Stairs. We talk about how the Covid-19 situation has affected our lives, shout out some friends on their exciting nominations, and discuss potential casting for the muses in the upcoming Hercules live action film.

Good morning, saints! The truly gifted Avionce Hoyles (Bat Out of Hell - Tour/NYCC, Memphis - Tour) graced us with his presence and we're just glad to be in the service (one more time)! We gush over Jenifer Lewis, talk survival jobs, creating our own work, and gripe about the occasional woes of bringing material into the audition room that falls outside of the realm of the musical theatre/pop/rock.

In this episode James and Marcus are joined by the blindingly talented Deonte L. Warren (IG: @dlwarren01), currently a standby for the Genie in Aladdin on Broadway. We talk Black History Month memories, the Academy Awards, the Hamilton "OBC" controversy, and how James nearly fought an 8 year old. Be sure to like, share, comment, and subscribe.

Catch up with Marcus and I as we talk with T. Shyvonne Stewart about making her Broadway debut in THE LIGHTNING THIEF, life as a standby, and our thought on diversity in casting.

In this episode we sit down with my good friend, the beautiful and oh-so talented Jasmin Richardson (Broadway: Book of Mormon, Getting the Band Back Together), to talk about her newfound additional career-path as a director. We discuss everything that comes along with expanding your brand in this industry, and how to not place artificial limits on your creativity. This one's deep, but fun.
