Tveiting Patiently

This past weekend, April 19 and 20, 2025, Aaron Tveit made his solo London concert debut with two sold-out shows at the London Palladium. The set list and atmosphere are the stuff dreams are made of, and for this episode, I got to hear all about the concert and the emotions of the day from guest Georgie, who got to check off a bucket list item this weekend of seeing Aaron in concert. Enjoy!

This week's episode will look back at Aaron's Miscast performance through the years and highlight the special tribute this year to Gavin Creel for Miscast's 25th Anniversary.

This week's episode is a little deviation from the usual Aaron Tveit focused episodes. This week, the focus is on the current Christian, John Cardoza, The Moulin Rouge as a whole and a unique post show experience.

Aaron Tveit interviews are always interesting to watch and listen to as he opens up so much more about his process and what goes into roles and projects that he takes on. This week's episode highlights a few favorite interview moments.

Of all the Aaron Tveit character out there...who would you call as your emergency contact?

After watching the Wicked movie...again this weekend, I was thinking about the first time I saw the movie in theaters and the Idina and Kristen cameo moment happened. That reaction was one that would only happen once because now, even though it's still special, we know it's coming. So this week's episode reflects back on the first time seeing Aaron perform in certain show and perform certain songs in concerts.

How has it almost been 1 year since Aaron Tveit made his debut in Sweeney Todd?! A known dream role for him and he and Sutton Foster were a match made in heaven as Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. This episode reminisces on February 9, 2024. The night that kicked off Aaron's 12 week run as Sweeney Todd.

This weekend, Schmigadoon! will come to life at the Kennedy Center in D.C. so this week's episode is a little look back at Aaron's time in the world of Schmigadoon and Schmicago and a little glimpse at what could be awaiting audiences if somehow, someway, Schmigadoon Season 3 gets picked up by another streaming service.

Whether he realizes it or not, Aaron Tveit has given so many of us a place to belong and sense of community throughout his career. These communities have grown even more through social media and being able to connect with others who share the similar interest of celebrating Aaron and musicals. This week's episode is a reflection of gratitude for those communities.

Today's episode is a little recap of Aaron's recent concert at McCallum Theatre. This setlist was a perfect mashup of concert staples and newer covers and all the songs being performed by Aaron and accompanied by his band made everything even better.

This week's episode is a look back at the amazing year that was 2024 for Aaron Tveit!

It was a big week for Tveit fans- Aaron finally performed his rescheduled concert at Groton Hill Music Center and then this past Sunday, audiences met Aaron's character Charlie in Earth Abides. Two totally different extremes of Aaron for sure. This episodes recaps both events, but heads up, the Earth Abides talk contains some spoilers.

Christmas Day will mark 12 years since the Les Miserables movie premiered in theaters and the world got their first glimpse of our Enjolras. This episode is just a little walk down memory lane for Enjolras and how Aaron has brought his Les Mis experiences back to life this past year with his Spring and Summer concerts.

How has it already been one year since Aaron first performed Christmas songs at Texas Christian University?! Getting to experience Aaron's performance at TCU was one of my favorite memories of 2023 and so I wanted to revisit it since the one year anniversary of it occurred this week!

This week's episode includes Aaron stories from two more fans, Sarah and Teddy. It's been a blast to be able to connect with fellow fans an gush about Aaron, his work, and just the impact that he has had on so many aspects of our lives in different ways!

Some of my favorite episodes to record have been with fellow Aaron fans where we just chat about Aaron and I get to hear about their journey to discovering him and his work and hear about what has kept them coming back for me! It is just amazing to have the opportunity to connect with others and be able to talk about Aaron and his work with those who really get it. This week's episode shares Aaron stories from Lisa P and Francine. Enjoy!

In honor of Wicked's 21st Anniversary on Broadway and the upcoming Wicked movie. This week's episode is a throwback to last years Wicked episode and Aaron's portrayal of the Winkie Prince, Fiyero!

Taking a little journey this week back to the Rouge Days of Boston. Aaron and JoJo's run is still so fresh, but it was fun to go back and revisit the Boston production of the show with the OGs and some of the changes that have occurred over the years.

On Sunday, October 13, 2024, Aaron Tveit and JoJo Levesque took their "final" bows as Christian and Satine. The energy at this show was unlike anything I've experienced before and Aaron had a few surprises in store for his audience. It was an unforgettable night that I just wish could be relived again and again. But for now....until next time.

The podcast has made it to 100 episodes! Time to look back on how it all started and highlight some key memories from this 6.0 run of Aaron's return to the Rouge!

Today's episode reflects on the impact of Gavin Creel, who passed away on September 30, 2024, and the impact that he left on the theater world and all those who were in his orbit.

Less than 5 weeks remain for Aaron Tveit and JoJo to be our Christian and Satine.

This episode is a Rouge Recap of Sunday spent on 45th Street. There is something so special about walking into the theater, seeing the set and hearing the preshow music and just knowing that for the next few hours, nothing else matters. Aaron and JoJo are in their 6th week of their 12 week run. Time is going by way too fast, so trying to soak up and treasure all the moments captured of their portrayals of Christian the Composer and Satine the Sparkling Diamond.

This week's episode highlights favorite duets that Aaron has performed over the years. His performances never disappoint and are amazing to go back to for an instant mood boost! Let's see if our favorites lists are the same!

Another Rouge Recap this week, but this time, it's the Rouge Sing Along and my son got to attend his first Broadway show and see Aaron perform Live for the first time. It was such a special experience to have with him and he gave me a few minutes of his time to talk about his thoughts and favorite moments from the show.

It's been one week since Aaron Tveit made his return to the Rouge to kick off his 6.0 run! From a return show, to celebrating the show's 5th Anniversary on Broadway, to show mishaps, it was an eventful week to say the least! Cannot wait to see what's in store in the coming weeks!

Another Ricky Live Live in the books! What a night that was! The energy from Ricky and his guest who performed. The long awaited reunion of Aaron and Ricky and their covers of She Used to be Mine and Tennessee Whiskey finally happened. The members of the Moulin Rouge cast are not just incredible performers, but they're incredible people as well and it's such a honor to just be in their presence and experience their energy!

This past Saturday, June 29, 2024 Aaron wrapped up his three week residency at Cafe Carlyle. Throughout his residency he debuted a new setlists and new stories that really celebrated New York City, his inspirations and the varied work he has gotten to take part in over the past 20 years.

Happy 2 years to this little podcast! June 23rd will mark 2 years since the first podcast episode came out! This week's episode shares some more personal memories related to Aaron and his work that have occurred over the last two years! Cheers!

On June 11, 2024, Aaron made his Cafe Carlyle Debut and it was such an incredible evening to be a part of! Aaron debut a whole new setlist and his stories that night were so deep and he really let the audience in even more to his experiences and his emotions as he performed certain songs. It's going to be special to see and hear about his journey over the next three weeks!

Aaron's ability to tell stories and intertwine them into his concerts and align them with the songs on his setlists. They take his song selections to a whole other level when audiences learn backstory behind them. Aaron's stories also give audiences little glimpses into his personal life, family life, and moments in his career. Just like narrowing down concert songs was a challenge, the same was true for selecting a few favorite stories...but here we are!

Trying to narrow down songs that Aaron has covered during his concerts over the years was no easy feat. His setlists are always the perfect mix of theater and pop/rock and even songs that he has performed more than once, he never performs them in the same way twice. This week, Jill is back with me as we tried to choose our favorite songs that fit into different categories. Let's see if any of our favorites are yours as well!

On May 11, 2024, Aaron performed his first solo concert with The Pacific Jazz Orchestra at The Soraya Stage. To say that this concert was incredible would be an understatement. The setlist was insane with so many new songs, and surprise songs were revealed on the night. But the most anticipated song of the night was Roxanne and Aaron performed that song not one but twice and opted up not once, but twice and everyone in the audience and those who saw videos of it are still trying to recover. Today's episode recaps that night! Hope you enjoy!

And just like that, 12 weeks of Sweeney Tveit and the revival of Sweeney Todd have come to an end. What an incredible run both the show as a whole and Aaron had. It was such a privilege to be able to witness that magic that Aaron, Sutton and the entire company created on stage night after night, show after show. May 5th was electric and such a special show and my friend Jill is back with me to recap and highlight favorite moments from the final show.

Two years ago on April 23, 2022, I saw Moulin Rouge and Aaron Tveit live for the first time and nothing as been the same since! The first half of today's episode reflects on some Rouge memories. The second part highlights another incredible, first time experience: my first ever Saturday night on Broadway and a front row experience with Sweeney Tveit! Still recovering from that experience, but I feel so grateful to have had it happen before the the show ends in just two weeks.

Some how, there are only three weeks left to attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. It's wild how fast time as gone. Aaron and Sutton are so settled into their roles and making little tweaks and changes that just continue to level up their performances! This past Sunday, 4.14.24, I drove into the city for a rush ticket and it was an amazing last minute Sunday on Fleet Street.

Part 2: It's been 1 year since Aaron Tveit, Ashley Loren, and other members of the Moulin Rouge took their Until Next Time Bows. This week will be a reshare of Part 1 and 2 of the recap show on April 9, 2023.

"100 Years from now, we will look back and realize that Sondheim is the musical theater Shakesphere." - Aaron has had a connection to Stephen Sondheim for many years and continues to keep his legacy alive, especially now with his role and fresh take on Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street.

It was a two show week on Fleet Street. One planned and one a surprise lottery win. It was a big week on Fleet Street for guests! On Wednesday, we sat across the aisle from the legend himself, Lin Manuel Miranda! Another Broadway icon, Neil Patrick Harris attended the tale for Saturday Night on Broadway. Each time I've had the opportunity to attend the tale, I feel like I focus on a new point and come out of it with new thoughts and feelings about the events and lyrics. It's absolutely phenomenal and Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster continuously level up their performances.

I get asked a lot what my husband thinks about Aaron and going to his shows/concerts. So this week, my husband is on the podcast talking about his thoughts and experiences with our Tony Winning National Treasure through the years.

A recap of a Saturday Sweeney Matinee as result of a lottery win. Aaron on Live with Kelly and Mark. Sutton making Aaron break character, and the barber chair being in a bad mood on Sunday. This episode covers a little bit of everything.

This week, my friend Hannah is back on the podcast to share her experience of seeing Aaron Tveit in Sweeney Todd this past weekend!

February 9, 2024 was a day to remember. Aaron made his debut in one of his dream roles, Sweeney Todd and he was incredible. This episode recaps and highlights the events of the night, the show, and moments that stood out. Already counting down the days until it's time to attend the tale again!

Shifting from the 1940s musicals and Rapscallion Danny Bailey, to the 60s and 70s musicals of Season 2 of Schmigadoon. Season 2 brought audiences to Schmicago and introduced the loveable hippie Topher to be the light and levity among some of the darkness in Season 2. From Doorways to Where, to Something Real, to Sour Macaroons, to gassing up the Happiness Bus, Topher was much more prevalent in Season 2.

It's still had to believe that Schmigadoon has been canceled. The news last week caught so many by surprise! This week's episode is all about honoring the rapscallion of Schmigadoon Season 1, Danny Bailey.

This is the final episode of 2023! It's insane that it's here and this year has come to end. It has ended up being one of the best years in terms of experiences and memories and that's all thanks to Aaron Tveit and everything that he has taken part in this year! From a Moulin Rouge return, to concerts, to traveling abroad and to a Sweeney announcement to kick off 2024! Our Tony Winning National Treasure has had an epic year!
