Eden Espinosa's performance as Tamara in “Lempicka” garnered her a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical…and she's not guilty about it. She highlights both the triumphs and tribulations of her career – from being a part of Colby's Clubhouse and working at Disneyland when she was young to dealing with rejections and criticisms. Maybe best known for her role in “Wicked”, she shares how she got involved with the show (thanks to fellow Disney performer Stephanie J. Block) and why chose to be a standby over understudy. She delves into her recent role in the musical "Lempicka", how she auditioned for the part, and why ever since then, she made sure it was in her contract that if she had to be replaced, they'd have to pay her. She opens up about the challenges faced by the production, including dealing with its unexpected closing. She reflects on the importance of authentic representation, particularly in portraying queer characters, and the responsibility she feels to honor such roles. Eden shares a memorable interaction with an audience member during the show's final performance, where she broke character to address a disruptive phone use incident. Despite the show's sudden closing, Eden's motivation to connect with others in any way, shape, or form is definitely not going anywhere. Eden Espinosa made her Broadway debut in 2003 in the original cast of “Wicked” as the Elphaba standby and Nessarose understudy. She also garnered critical acclaim playing Elphaba full-time in the sit-down productions in Los Angeles and San Francisco. She originated the lead role in the show “Brooklyn” in 2004, before going on to the closing company of “Rent” as Maureen in 2008. She graced the screen with roles in shows like “Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure”, and “Alice's Wonderland Bakery” for which she earned an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Queen of Hearts in 2022. She has two complete solo albums to her name, “Look Around” and “Revelation”, and most recently, her performance in the world premiere of “Lempicka” garnered her a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

Birthday Girl's Choice continues this week with Nick's pick: the original Broadway production of "Rent," featuring most of the original cast in its final performance, to say nothing of "Hamilton" BSA Renee Elise Goldsberry as Mimi and Eden Espinosa sending us over the moon as Maureen. Much to Colin's existential delight, this is far from the peak of musical theatre cringe but is actually a beautifully written and composed show worthy of its place in both Broadway history and the hearts of all those Rent-heads. That being said, we kind of wish Mark was gay.

Katie Adams is a musical theatre star who has gotten to be in some of the most popular shows to date. Adams got the chance to join the National Tour of Grease where she played Marty. Growing up, Grease was one of her all time favorite films to watch, and she hoped that one day she would be able to bring the beloved story to life, and she did just that. Getting to recite some of Marty's iconic lines was something that has been one of the highlights of her career. Additionally, Adams got to participate in both the national tour and Broadway companies of Wicked. While on tour she was in the ensemble, and understudied the role of Glinda. (She toured with Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus; musical theatre nerds, you KNOW how magical watching those two on stage are) Then after a year on the road, Adams joined the Broadway company of the hit musical as the Glinda standby. In fact one of her Elphaba's in NYC was Eden Espinosa (featured on season 2). Besides these two musical hits, Adams was also featured in Urinetown where she potrayed Soupy Sue. Now, Adams is part of the musical theatre faculty at AMDA where she is currently teaching the next generation of Broadway household names. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jayme-starr/support

Kimmy Immanuel is a musical theatre performer. She began her experience with touring when she joined the company of the national tour of White Christmas. Each day she was on stage she got to spread Christmas spirit to her audiences all over the country. After the COVID shutdown, Immanuel got the chance to hit the road with the first national tour of Hadestown as an original cast member. This time around she was a swing and a dance captain, and was lucky enough to perform at least once in almost every city that the show went through. Now, Immanuel is in Oz for the first time on the national tour of Wicked where she is playing Nessarose. Wicked has always been a show that has been near and dear to her heart. In fact, when she saw the show on Broadway, her first Elphaba was Dee Roscioli (featured in Season 1). At the start of her experience with Wicked, she got the thrill of a life time to meet the ICON herself, Stephanie J. Block and her family. If it weren't for Block, there would be no Wicked tour so it was a pretty special moment for her and the rest of the cast. Lastly. Immanuel is an alumni of NYU where she studying musical theatre and one of her favorite professors from college was Eden Espinosa (featured in season 2). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jayme-starr/support

How do you document real life, when real life’s getting more like fiction each day? Good question. Hello listener, there’s no day but today, so the Broadway Babies decided to switch it up on y’all and add an outlier to the MEGA musical season that they felt deserved to be recognized for being the angsty sensation that swept the nation: RENT RENT RENT RE-ENT RENT!!!! Hang out with Alex and Daisha in Alphabet City while they discuss why Rent deserves a MEGA MUSICAL STATUS, as well as their opinions on why Rent hasn’t aged well, but the source material, La Bohème, has. Let us know what you think in the comments! Podcast cover art: David Taylor Twitter: @bwaybabies Facebook: Facebook.com/broadwaybabiespodcast OBC Cast recording (sorry): Amazon |iTunes Video recording: iTunes | Amazon Songs: “Rent,” performed by Adam Kantor, Will Chase and ensemble “Light My Candle,” by Renée Elise Goldsberry and Will Chase “Take Me or Leave Me,” by Eden Espinosa and Tracie Thoms “I’ll Cover U (reprise),” by Michael McElroy and ensemble “Seasons of Love,” by Gwen Stewart and ensemble Music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson Distributed by Sony Pictures Show Notes: Everyone has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!  Gavin Creel and Aaron Tveit’s “Take Me or Leave Me,” maybe the sexiest thing ever seen:  "When it comes to 1990s time capsules, though, you can't do much better than Rent. Sure, it was technically set in 1989, but the musical is far more about the decade's response to the '80s than anything else." This is horrifying. News stories from 1982-1992 about HIV/AIDS. People were horribly mistreated.  The Final Days backstage. It's Rent, but the opera version! (Also, we encourage y'all to go see La Bohème live! It's ALWAYS being performed and probably at an opera house near you!)
