Is there any better way to kick off a morning or any time of day then listening to Queen of both Comedy & KOHL'S Ellie Kemper? Michelle (writing this) argues no! Ellie sits in her finest bistro chair to join Michelle for an almost academic discussion about comedian genetics, musical theatre high school, FORENSICS (trigger warning for those sick of it, note that Ellie had never heard of it) and an in-depth look at two of their favorite movies, Little Shop of Horrors & My Cousin Vinny. Which begs the question: Did the movies you loved as a kid hold up? Or were our brains just so soft at that point that nothing could possibly top them?

To celebrate this milestone, actress, singer, Broadway star, and Ginger Ale's #1 fan Liz Gillies joins Robert in the Welcome to Times Square studio for a wildly fun and heartfelt conversation.

Ellenore Scott joins the show to discuss her historic season, where she has achieved the rare feat of having multiple productions running simultaneously on and off Broadway. She shares the incredible story of her son Ford's birth, which took place less than twenty-four hours after she walked the red carpet for the opening night of Ragtime at Lincoln Center. Ellenore reveals the logistical gymnastics of negotiating with her doctor to delay her C-section so she wouldn't miss her opening night, and how she transitioned from celebrating a professional milestone to welcoming her first child the very next morning. The conversation dives deep into her creative process, specifically how she builds a unique movement language for vastly different shows like Ragtime and Titanique. Ellenore explains her history as a "TikTok girly" during the pandemic and how she successfully choreographed the viral Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical entirely over Zoom. She also breaks down her secret "choreographic signature"—the "bitch swerve"—and tells us exactly where to look for it in her current productions. Ellenore Scott is an acclaimed choreographer, director, and performer whose work spans Broadway, television, and digital media. A former finalist on So You Think You Can Dance, she has choreographed Broadway productions including Funny Girl, Mr. Saturday Night, and the current revival of Ragtime, as well as the long-running Off-Broadway hit Little Shop of Horrors. She is a multiracial artist with a heritage encompassing African American, Indigenous, Filipino, Mexican, Hawaiian, and Irish roots. Ellenore is also the founder of her own dance company and has served as an associate to Andy Blankenbuehler on the Broadway revival of Cats.

Jinkx Monsoon returns to the pod for the third time! Jinkx is an award-winning actress, comedian, recording artist, and the first and only drag queen to win RuPaul's Drag Race twice. She has become a Broadway breakout star with critically acclaimed performances in Chicago (where she broke box office records during an extended 10-week run), Little Shop of Horrors, the Tony-nominated revival, Pirates! The Penzance Musical - which landed Jinkx her first Drama League Award nomination, and two stints as the star of the Tony-award winning phenomenon Oh, Mary!. And she's about to take her titanic talents to London next month where she'll be starring as Judy Garland in End of the Rainbow, which is about Judy's final years. Jinkx also plays the musical-mayhem-making villainess, Maestro, in Doctor Who, and she's done tons of voice over work in shows like StevenUniverse. And Jinkx continues to tour the world performing with her drag soulmate BendelaCreme in their annual The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, as well as in her own cabaret and stand-up shows with longtime collaborator Major Scales. And in 2025 on Valentine's Day she headlined her first - and sold out - concert at Carnegie Hall which featured Pam casting a love spell from that legendary stage. Throughout it all she's brought her witchcraft practice to each performance in overt and covert ways.On this episode, Jinkxdiscusses the magic of theatre, her evolving relationship to witchcraft, and her “witch mission” of liberating the divine genders. Pam also talks about some recent witchy signal boosting from SNL's Rachel Dratch, and answers a listener question about finding comfort from different deities.

This week, Madeline, Julian and Emilio kick off a new cycle dedicated to "Offbeat Musicals" with perhaps the pre-eminent offbeat musical movie: 'Little Shop of Horrors', released in 1986, directed by Frank Oz, featuring standout performances from Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Levi Stubbs as Audrey II, anchored by the iconic score from Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. It's a Viewnanimous pick, and they are joined by composer/performer/teacher/great human/"Little Shop" enthusiast Will Reynolds to break down what is weird and wonderful about the film and its music. The group digs into the touching performances, the elite puppetry, its playful yet clear adherences to classic Broadway musical conventions, how the period setting becomes a backdrop for the themes, that very bleak original ending vs. the happy theatrical release ending, and much more! Will Reynolds is an accomplished composer, coach, and performer. His score for The Violet Hour can be found where ever you stream music.

Described as The Day of the Triffids crossed with Little Shop of Horrors, this week, I'm looking at a story that certainly presents an unusual scenario. I'm talking about Overgrowth by Mira Grant, a book with a botanical horror premise that's hard to ignore once you've heard it. If you haven't come across this sci-fi horror novel yet, this episode's a good place to start. It's a bit of a genre-shifter that's quite difficult to categorise, following a woman who's spent thirty years trying to warn everyone about an alien invasion they simply refuse to see. Whether you're a fan of science fiction or you just enjoy a story that keeps you guessing, this is an interesting novel that came out in early 2025. As always, I'll be sharing my personal take on the story and looking at some other book reviews to give a balanced view, because we can't all like everything. I'll also be keeping it completely spoiler-free, so you can go into it fresh if you decide to give it a go for yourselves.So, grab yourself something to drink, settle back, and dive into this episode of Being Bookish.
It was 44 years ago that a theater audience first heard mild-mannered Seymour and his bombshell crush, Audrey, belt out “Suddenly Seymour” while a bloodthirsty plant lurked in the background. Yet today, that same show– “Little Shop of Horrors”– is currently in its 6th year of a highly successful Off-Broadway revival. And if you have an appetite for fun, we're here to feed it with this entertaining podcast on the beloved cult classic! What black-and-white B movie was the inspiration behind the musical “Little Shop of Horrors”? How did “Sesame Street” puppeteer Martin Robinson design the original, ever-growing Audrey II? What behind-the-scenes stories does Frank Oz recall from directing the hit 1986 movie adaptation? And what issue with the ending nearly derailed the film? We discuss all this and more, so just “leaf” it to us! Many thanks to Rich for his top-of-the-episode shout-out! How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

Send a textCourage looks different under stage lights. We sit down at Chino Hills High School's theater to unpack how a training-first program turns nervous auditions into confident performances, and how a tight-knit ensemble carries each other through missed cues, costume malfunctions, and the rush of opening night. With director Kerry Rupe at the helm and students Anthony, Drake, Angie, and Shelby sharing the mic, we trace real journeys from backstage to center stage—and the life skills that stick long after the curtain falls.We dive into the choices that built a powerhouse program: closing some productions to class members to strengthen commitment and shared vocabulary, then keeping the spring musical open to discover hidden talent school-wide. The team breaks down how ambitious titles like Little Shop of Horrors, Newsies, Puffs, and Legally Blonde come to life with serious sets, lighting, sound, and costumes. You'll hear why tech isn't background—it's a character with its own voice—and how stage management and design develop leadership, empathy, and precision. Along the way, students explain how theater became their community, contrasting the scoreboard pressure of sports with the ensemble mindset that meets people where they are and grows them.We also explore how the program reaches beyond the stage. From the Princess Tea fundraiser that doubles as long-form improv training to PR crews mixing hallway posters with TikTok and Instagram, this group treats outreach like part of the craft. Cross-school partnerships boost attendance and celebrate a bigger truth: there's room for everyone when the goal is great theater. As Little Shop heads into tech week, energy runs high, ticket sales climb, and students reflect on dancing, timing, and playing iconic roles with fresh choices. It's a portrait of arts education at its best—bold shows, steady mentorship, and a culture that turns fear into fuel.If you care about student creativity, community theater, or the behind-the-scenes alchemy that makes a musical sing, hit play and share this one with a friend.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 9th Publish Date: January 9th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, January 9th and Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Georgia schedules election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene Marietta Theatre Company announces 2026 season Flu season hits Georgia harder this year — What you should be watching for Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 4 STORY 1: Georgia schedules election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is gearing up for a special election on March 10, following Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt resignation. Greene, once a staunch Trump ally, stepped down after a public fallout with the president over her push to release Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. Trump called her a “traitor” and vowed to back her challenger if she ran again. Ouch. The race? Already crowded. Nearly two dozen candidates are eyeing the seat, including two Democrats, an independent, and 20 Republicans. Big names like State Sen. Colton Moore and Dalton Councilman Nicky Lama are in the mix. Qualifying runs Jan. 12–14, with a $5,220 fee. STORY 2: Marietta Theatre Company announces 2026 season Marietta Theatre Company just dropped its 2026 season lineup, and honestly? It’s a good one. Tickets are already on sale—season passes start at $65, and they’re flexible, so no stressing over dates. “Live theater sticks with you—it’s magic that lingers,” said Katrina Stroup, the company’s president. “This season? Laughter, music, joy. We’ve got it all.” Here’s what’s coming: Little Shop of Horrors (Jan. 22-31): A cult classic with humor, heart, and a man-eating plant. 9 to 5: The Musical (May 28-June 6): Dolly Parton. Friendship. Revenge. Enough said. All Shook Up (Aug. 13-22): Elvis meets Twelfth Night. Chaos ensues. Details at mariettatheatre.tix.com. STORY 3: Flu season hits Georgia harder this year — What you should be watching for Flu season’s here, and Georgia’s getting hit hard—again. Over 300 people have been hospitalized since Dec. 21, and it’s not just the flu. RSV and colds are making the rounds too. Feeling run down? Fever, chills, body aches, sore throat? Yeah, it might be the flu. Dr. Earl Stewart Jr. from Wellstar says Influenza A (H3N2) is the big culprit this year, hitting kids, seniors, and folks with chronic conditions the hardest. Symptoms usually last 5–7 days, but that cough? It might stick around for weeks. When to worry? If you’re struggling to breathe, have chest pain, or your kid’s lethargic and not drinking fluids—get to the ER. Prevention? The usual suspects: flu shots, handwashing, rest, and staying hydrated. And if you do catch it, antivirals like Tamiflu can help—especially if you act fast. Stay safe, everyone. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 4 STORY 4: Cobb Prom Swap Got an old prom dress or suit gathering dust in your closet? Give it a second life at the Cobb Prom Swap! The Cobb County Public Library is collecting gently used dresses, suits, shoes, jewelry, accessories, and even new, unused cosmetics through Feb. 7. Drop-off locations include: East Cobb Library, Marietta North Cobb Library, Kennesaw Powder Springs Library, Powder Springs Vinings Library, Atlanta West Cobb Library, Kennesaw Then, teens can shop for free at the Prom Swap events—first-come, first-served—on Feb. 21 (South Cobb Library, Mableton) and Feb. 28 (Switzer Library, Marietta). Perfect outfits, no price tags. STORY 5: Wheeler overcomes rocky start to beat Cherokee Cherokee came out swinging, but Wheeler landed the knockout punch, pulling away for a 78-64 win Tuesday night at Cherokee High. The Wildcats (12-3, 4-0 Region 5AAAAAA) have been living out of suitcases for weeks, and while this wasn’t their cleanest game, they handed the Warriors (11-5, 3-1) their first region loss—without starters Kevin Savage and Lamarrion Lewis. UConn commit Colben Landrew was unstoppable, dropping 26 points. Jaron Saulsberry added 17, and Amare James chipped in 16, including a half-court buzzer-beater that sparked Wheeler’s comeback. Cherokee started hot—Sean Hamilton’s seven-point run helped build a 20-6 lead. But Wheeler clawed back, outscoring the Warriors 26-12 in the second quarter and never looking back. FALCONS: Kirk Cousins and the Falcons just shook up his contract—again. According to reports, they’ve reworked the final two years of his four-year, $180 million deal, giving Atlanta some breathing room with the salary cap. But here’s the kicker: by March 13, 2026, they’ll have to decide if Cousins sticks around. Why? A $67.9 million guarantee for 2027 kicks in that day. And let’s be real—at 38, with a no-trade clause, Cousins isn’t exactly a hot commodity. The new deal slashes his 2026 base salary from $35 million to $2.1 million, shifting that cash to 2027. Still, he’s got a $10 million roster bonus locked in for next year. Atlanta signed Cousins in 2024 with $100 million guaranteed, then drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. But when Penix tore his ACL, Cousins stepped in, starting seven games. His numbers? Solid-ish: 1,721 yards, 10 TDs, five picks. Not bad for a guy nearing 40. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this.
