CLARA HARRISON - Performer, creator, artist Clara Harrison is a performer, creator, and artist, with a love for playful ideas and a powerhouse voice. Clara is based in Sydney, but their versatility and incredible vocals have taken them around the world, performing with several major cruise lines and across various local and international stages. Some of Clara's recent credits include performances in Saturday Night Fever at the Athenaeum in Melbourne, and starring as Also Brendan in Fuccbois: Live in Concert. Clara has also worked in voice-over for projects with MTV, Sesame Street Live, and the ABC, and appeared as a multimedia actor with Sydney Theatre Company's Dear Evan Hansen. Passionate about creating, Clara wrote and performed their original cabaret ‘Divas Through the Decades' which they have presented internationally, and was named top 3 in the 2022 Brent Street Artist Fund for their original writing. Clara has appeared in two independent Australian feature films this year, and has also launched visual art business ‘Haus of Clara', selling original artworks that are an extension of her creative energy and skill. In this episode, Clara joins me as we chat about their array of creative pursuits and many of the ups and downs that come along with a career in the performing arts. We talk about the success of satire-musical-comedy-drag-concert Fuccbois; the beauty of live theatre and the differences when working in film; Clara's unlikely pathway into musical theatre; and the important life skill that is improvisation. We also touch on topics including mental health awareness and support within the industry; balancing boundaries and vulnerabilities in performance; our shared passion of supporting new works; and the importance of finding joy and creativity outside of paid work (even when, and especially when, that is part of creativity and joy, too!)

Little Astronaut is a bold original musical playing Native Earth Performing Arts as part of the 2026 Toronto Fringe Festival. Dear Evan Hansen meets John Proctor Is the Villain: Little Astronaut asks what it costs women to survive in spaces that want them to be smaller, quieter, and easier to control. It is a story about what it takes to hold your ground, and what changes when you stop doing it alone. Hazel and Lily arrive for their first day of engineering with everything to prove.Hazel is bold, fierce, and chasing her dream of being an astronaut. Lily is quietly brilliant, steady, and less sure of where she is headed but certain of who she is. As they move through the competitive and isolating environment, Hazel burns out fighting every battle while Lily retreats farther inward. They become lab partners, but every attempt at a real connection gets interrupted and derailed by the men around them.Little Astronaut is an unflinching and honest big-band musical about ambition, friendship, and refusing to disappear. Come see what it looks like when the people who lived the story are the ones telling it, on their own terms, with a 15-piece band behind them.

The musical continues this week at the Tibbits Opera House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Father's Day episode of The Music in Me, I'm diving into the powerful, emotional, and sometimes unexpected ways musical theater portrays fathers and father figures. After doing a Mother's Day episode celebrating moms in musicals, I knew I wanted to continue the tradition and shine a light on dads this time around. In this episode, I explore songs that show the many sides of fatherhood—fathers dreaming about the future, fathers trying to connect with their children, fathers who aren't perfect, fathers who sacrifice everything, and the quiet beauty of watching children grow up. Some of these songs are longtime favorites of mine, and others were brand new discoveries I found while researching this episode, and I honestly fell in love with them. From classics like Les Misérables and Fiddler on the Roof to modern favorites like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Ragtime, each song adds a different layer to what it means to be a father or father figure. This episode is heartfelt, reflective, and deeply personal as I also take a moment to celebrate the important father figures in my own life. Whether you're celebrating, remembering, or simply reflecting this Father's Day, I hope these songs from musical theater resonate with you as much as they did with me.SONGS MENTIONED…·       Soliloquy from Carousel·       Dear Theodosia from Hamilton·       Wheels of a Dream from Ragtime·       To Break in a Glove from Dear Evan Hansen·       Hey Kid from If/Then·       Daddy Knows Best from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical·       Not My Father's Son from Kinky Boots·       Like Father, Like Son from Aida·       Dead Man's Boots from The Last Ship·       Bring Him Home from Les Misérables·       You're Daddy's Son from Ragtime·       No Matter What from Beauty and the Beast·       Something Was Missing from Annie·       Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the RoofWhat did you think of this episode?

What if art wasn't an elective — but the foundation?On this special episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I sit down with Lis Austin of Besant Hill School to explore a model of education where creativity isn't an add-on, but the organizing principle. From studio art and ceramics to film, theater, and music, Besant Hill's program is rooted in a holistic philosophy that traces back to the school's founding — and feels more relevant than ever.We also preview the upcoming Spring Arts Festival (April 17–18), a vibrant, community-wide celebration featuring student films, live performances (including Dear Evan Hansen), exhibitions, and an art auction supporting arts education. We also talked about Ojai's special connection to the theater arts, through luminaries such as Michael Chekhov, Iris Tree, Ford Rainey, Charlie Chaplin and Woody Chambliss. We did not talk about Scottish salmon ghillies, the Samurai Civil War of the 1180s or the final episode of The Pitt's season two.If you've ever wondered what school could look like when imagination leads, this is a conversation worth hearing.

In this episode, I'm spilling about how curiosity keeps your creativity alive and why experimenting is the ultimate glow-up for your art.I also share the story of finishing my very first full screenplay, a project inspired by the emotional intensity of Dear Evan Hansen, and what it taught me about showing up, trusting the process, and embracing the messy chaos of creating something completely new. Think Euphoria-level drama meets real-life creative hustle. I dive into other experiments I've been trying lately too, songwriting outside my usual style, testing bold podcast formats, and taking on side projects that scared me at first glance.If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or too afraid to try something new, this episode is your reminder that curiosity > comfort.

Maya Jade Frank joins the podcast to share the fascinating journey of a career that began with a serendipitous audition for her sister's project and led her to the Broadway stages of Evita and Mary Poppins. She opens up about the unique experience of growing up on the road with the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables, where she balanced three hours of daily schooling with visits to historical monuments and backstage "Docu-drama" marathons. Maya discusses the transition from being a child actor in New York to a Disney Channel star in Los Angeles, reflecting on how her supportive, non-theatre parents helped her stay grounded while she pursued a "normal" college experience at USC. The conversation dives deep into Maya's impressive ability to merge her creative passions with a sharp business mind. Beyond her current starring role as Zoe Murphy in the South Florida premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, she reveals the inner workings of her digital media company, Mangoes and Bubblegum, and her work as a global Pilates instructor. From her "morning jump around" ritual to early 2000s pop punk to her dreams of performing Shakespeare at the Globe, Maya exemplifies a modern multi-hyphenate artist who prioritizes physical health and analytical data just as much as her vocal warm-ups. Maya Jade Frank is a New York City native whose extensive credits include the Broadway revival of Evita, the final Broadway cast of Mary Poppins, and the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables. She received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on Nickelodeon's History and Heritage and appeared on Disney Channel's Bizaardvark. A graduate of the University of Southern California and the Royal Academy of Music in London, her recent stage work includes Next to Normal and the UK revival of Be More Chill. She is currently appearing in Dear Evan Hansen at the Actors' Playhouse in Coral Gables.

AI kan skrive tekster, komponere musik og foreslå idéer. Den kan skabe hurtigere og billigere end nogensinde før. Men betyder det, at den levende kunst mister sin relevans? Absolut ikke, mener teaterchef Kasper Holten. Sammen med vært Mette Højen deler han sine refleksioner over kunstens rolle i en tid præget af kunstig intelligens og om, hvordan Det Kongelige Teater bruger ny teknologi til at styrke relationen til publikum. Musikvalgene er med til at sætte tonen. Waving Through a Window fra Dear Evan Hansen rammer samtidens sårbarhed og længslen efter at blive set. Aria fra Goldberg-variationerne peger på ro, disciplin og eftertænksomhed i et højt tempo. Og ouverturen fra Mestersangerne i Nürnberg bliver et billede på fællesskab, tradition – og modet til at føre det levende videre.

Journalist Leland Vittert joins Meghan and Miranda to talk Israel, the post–October 7 climate, and why moral clarity still matters. He opens up about his book 'Born Lucky' - growing up autistic, bullying, tough-love parenting, and reflects on leaving Fox. They also talk about shutdown politics, and America's reaction after the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the Roblox lawsuit over extremist content. Then Meghan & Miranda break down Katie Porter's viral interview walk-off, press accountability vs. thin skin, and what it signals about leadership temperament. Finally, Clay Aiken goes behind the curtain on Broadway economics: why so many new shows aren't recouping, when stunt-casting helps (and when it tanks a production), the Kennedy Center Honors lineup, and that viral Les Mis clip. Plus: Clay's 17-year-old son completes his first solo flight.

If Broadway had a heartbeat, Alex Lacamoire might be it. You probably know him as the Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning musical genius behind Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, In the Heights, and The Greatest Showman. This week, we are beyond grateful to welcome him to Laugh Lines!Penn and I are lucky enough to call Alex and his wife, Ileana, our friends. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of his journey—from a Miami kid with a hand-me-down piano to a Broadway legend. We talk about how he sees music in colors (yes, synesthesia is real!), why lifting others up matters just as much as creating unforgettable scores, and how he's overcome incredible odds. Born with significant hearing loss, Alex has gone on to orchestrate and arrange some of the most iconic music of our generation.Oh—and did I mention we sing? A lot. From The Muppets to Broadway, Alex graciously humors us as everything turns into a sing-along (and even shares a keyboard with Penn). We adore Alex, and after listening, we think you will too.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy podcast. After 5 years and 125 episodes, we're finally talking about one of the major smashes of the past decade: Pasek and Paul's Dear Evan Hansen. Winner of 6 Tonys -- including Best Actor for overnight sensation Ben Platt -- the show has had quite the interesting journey over the past couple of years. So join us as we talk about the DEH phenomenon, highlight the anthemic "You Will Be Found," and try to answer what, if anything, Evan learns as we close out this miniseries on bildungsromans.

Jack Viertel has quietly shaped Broadway for decades, guiding landmark productions from behind the scenes while rarely stepping into the spotlight himself. In this conversation, he opens up about the art and the business of theatre, reflecting on how shows get chosen, how failures and successes both shape a career, and why Broadway has always been in a cycle of decline and rebirth. We also wander into the bigger picture — what the industry is doing right, where it stumbles, and what it will take to keep live theatre thriving for future generations. Of course, Jack's influence isn't limited to the stage. He's also a writer with a brand-new crime thriller, The Glass Eel, co-written with his son Josh. Described as “Breaking Bad on the coast of Maine,” the novel dives into the murky world of baby eels, environmental stakes, and the dark edges of human ambition. Jack shares how the story came to life, what it was like to collaborate with family, and why storytelling — in any form — remains at the heart of his work. Jack Viertel served for decades as Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Jujamcyn Theaters, helping shepherd productions including Into the Woods, M. Butterfly, Angels in America, The Producers, Book of Mormon, and Dear Evan Hansen to Broadway. He was also Artistic Director of New York City Center's Encores! series, and is the author of The Secret Life of the American Musical, Broadway Melody, and now The Glass Eel, co-written with his son.
