Merritt talks about the show's influence on his childhood and describes being a part of the show as a pinch-me moment for him, Jelani discusses his early experiences with performing and touring and the two talk about their experiences with the production of "Back to the Future" , how they auditioned for their roles, and what it means to them. They emphasize the positive and collaborative atmosphere on the set and how the cast gets along well, their favorite parts of the show, and the fulfillment they get from the support of younger fans and the theater community. Merritt and Jelani share their motivations and advice for aspiring performers, including finding reasons to show up to pursue one's dreams (and good food!).

"Everybody wants to be Beyoncé, but does everybody wanna put in the work?" is just one of Jelani's many foods for thought in this episode. He shares where his love for theatre started, being a jack-of-all-trades type of person growing up, making it into Broadway and what it's like meeting a new generation of artists today that aspire to have the same profession. Jelani recalls his "The Lion King" journey, from the first time he saw the show to having a full circle moment of playing the role of Simba for years. This experience was eye-opening for him... becoming an inspiration and making connections with people. He was a standby when he first got the job for "Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations" and enjoyed being a swing because while it can be a lot of pressure sometimes, it also helps him explore and test his abilities. Jelani also shares his experience with accidents on stage and why the show must go on, Broadway as a sport, and that “no” doesn't no, it just means not right now, so if you're an aspiring actor, make sure to stay ready and always be prepared. Jelani Remy is an actor best known for his role as Simba in the Broadway, National Tour, and Vegas company of Disney's "The Lion King". He was also part of Disney's "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2", "Parade", "Cabaret", Broadway's "Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations" where he played the role of Eddie Kendricks, “The Apple Boys”, and the Off-Broadway production of "Smokey Joe's Cafe" among others. Jelani will be the guest in the upcoming Broadway Lecture Series at StageWorks at Studio 237 on March 11, 2023.

This episode features discussions about Guillermo Mendez M, Guadalupe Sandoval, and Javier Vilalta's Anjou: A Musical Horror Tale and Whitney Rhodes, Shenelle Salcido and Spencer Williams' For Tonight. ANJOU: A MUSICAL HORROR TALE (by Guillermo Mendez M., Guadalupe Sandoval and Javier Vilalta) - Anjou: The Musical Horror Tale is a modern Mexican opera which recently had its English-language premiere. The musical is a cautionary tale set in 16th century France, revolving around the massacre of Saint Bartholomew in 1572. Fusing Renaissance-inspired melodies, modern orchestrations and Latinx-influenced tunes, Anjou turns a tragic moment in history into a riveting exploration of kindness and acceptance against a backdrop of injustice, prejudice, and ruthless ambitions. The writers were also joined by their director, Roberto Araujo. FOR TONIGHT (by Whitney Rhodes, Shenelle Salcido and Spencer Williams) - When their parents die of a mysterious illness in their small Welsh village, surviving siblings Thomas, Haydon, and Nettie are forced to fend for themselves. Inspired by the Romani who once shared their home, Haydon heads off to Liverpool, guitar in hand, to find what he's been missing. There he meets a Romani woman who speaks to his wandering soul. With a riveting indie-rock/folk score, For Tonight explores the indelible power of home. Featuring performances from Nathan Cockfroft, Joey Cornish, Kevin Curits, Sam Ebenezer, Simon Gordon, Michelle Beth Herman, Gabriel Hyman, Taylor Iman Jones, Luke McCall, Jordan Allan Mills, Michael Perrie Jr., Jelani Remy and Adam Tabellija Connect with Guillermo Mendez M.: Instagram: @memorias.mendez and @anjouthemusical Twitter: @anjoumusical Connect with Guadalupe Sandoval: Instagram: @lupitasandovalactriz and @anjouthemusical Twitter: @anjouthemusical Connect with Javier Vilalta: Instagram: @javiervialta Twitter: @javiervialta and @anjouthemusical Connect with Whitney Rhodes: Instagram: @ladywhitrho and @fortonightmusical Twitter: @For_Tonight_ Connect with Spencer Williams: Instagram: @spencertwilliams and @fortonightmusical Twitter: @composerspencer and @For_Tonight_ Connect with New York Theatre Barn: Support us: nytheatrebarn.org/give Twitter: @nytheatrebarn Instagram: @newyorktheatrebarn Facebook.com/nytheatrebarn nytheatrebarn.org Joe's personal Instagram: @bisforbarros Jen's personal Instagram: @jensandler Learn more about your ad choices.
