DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell

Dylan and Connor are joined by two-time Tony Award nominee Constantine Rousouli (Titanique, The Big Gay Jamboree). Five and a half years after his first appearance on the podcast, Connie is BACK for a truly gay ol’ time with the twins. As the star and co-writer of Titanique, Constantine spills on the musical comedy’s kooky crazy journey from an off-Broadway theatre (below a Gristedes) all the way to international stages and finally BROADWAY. The friendship forged between these three off-pod is on full display in this episode, full of laughs and love. Hear about the trusty Banana Republic khakis that Connie wears as Jack Dawson, becoming the Gay Lin-Manuel Miranda, and his Frank-N-Furter dreams. You want the tea on Connie’s DMs after a performance of Titanique? Listen and learn, babe! Hear memories from Tony nomination morning, The Big Gay Jamboree’s short but blissful run, and the Olivier Award of it all. Connie dishes on the gaggiest guests backstage at Titanique, his upcoming trip to see Celine in Paris, and these Bravo boys get into all things Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. You only have two weeks left to sail the Ship of Dreams. Get thee to the St. James to see Connie shine!

Dylan and Connor are joined by Naturi Naughton-Lewis (The Great Gatsby, 3LW). The pop star, actress, director, producer, and icon of our dreams is bringing y’all some DRAMA! Back on Broadway after a roaring 20 years, Naturi stars as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. Iconic bob, pivotal pants, and new money, honey! Naturi speaks about being the first Black woman to play this role full-time on Broadway, returning to her roots as a singer, and the power of manifesting. This is a full circle moment for the twins, as they saw Naturi as Little Inez in Hairspray back in 2007 and loved her in the Fame film. Trust we get into the 3LW lore, divas! Naturi opens up about reconciling with Adrienne Bailon, memories from the TRL tour with Destiny’s Child (and Mama Tina Knowles!), and hard-learned lessons as a teenager in the music business. We cover Naturi’s appearances on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” with Pinky Cole, being Phaedra Parks' twin, and if she’d ever do reality TV. As you know, playas gon’ play, but real ones are coming through to see Naturi in this “New Gatsby” era alongside Ryan McCartan, China Anne McClain, and Corbin Bleu. Naturi is and always has been that girl!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Aydin Eyikan (MJ, The Music Man). Summer may be coming to a close, but not without a little DRAMA! Chances are you’ve seen Aydin shine onstage in MJ, Wicked, Bob Fosse’s Dancin’, and The Music Man, making his mark as a standout dancer. This multi-talented performer has taken the theatre community by storm, appearing in four Broadway shows in four years. Listen as Aydin reflects on beginning his dance journey at 7 years old (thanks to So You Think You Can Dance), key mentors, and even teases his next move as an artist. We hear stories about working with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, Aydin’s love story with his boyfriend Troy, and even musings about Taylor Swift’s discography. Y’all wanted a tattoo tour? Gag it! Aydin shares memories from the Fire Island Dance Festival, Connor celebrates his recent wedding officiant duties, and these three have a true kiki about The Real Housewives. Be sure to follow Aydin on Instagram… or maybe you already do? Drama…

Dylan and Connor are joined once again by Matt Koplik (Broadway Breakdown) for a preview of the fall 2026 Broadway season! It’s always a delight to share the mic with this brilliant, opinionated, and hilarious fellow theatre podcaster. The boys discuss their most anticipated productions coming to NYC (on and off Broadway) this fall, including the spooky shows haunting NYC: Paranormal Activity and 2:22: A Ghost Story, as well as the celebrity-led revivals of Other Desert Cities, The Imaginary Invalid, A Few Good Men, Inter Alia, and Much Ado About Nothing. Listen as they gag for Jasmine Amy Rodgers’ generational run of credits (so far), rumors of Heather Headley as Mother Abbess, and crush on Tom Blyth, Bradley Whitford, and Hunter Parrish. Will the trio of new musicals hitting the Main Stem this fall measure up? They get into Wanted, Galileo, and Dolly, as well as the reimagined revival of The Fantasticks. It wouldn’t be a collab with Broadway Breakdown without Matt’s signature theatre knowledge, mention of Yondr pouches, and a little Spring Awakening. Open your ears and hearts for this fabulous fall preview!

It’s a post-Rosie pod, and you better believe we’re gonna talk about it! Connor and Dylan deliver a classic TWIN TALKS episode that runs the gamut: theatre gossip, casting rumors, and Broadway tea honey! Did the Nobu come through? Will future Frank-N-Furters don a suitable wig? What’s the tea on Ariana G? We have a lot to cover, y’all! We get into the alleged title of the stage show version of The Greatest Showman, Quidam Cirque du Soleil, Three Days of Rain starring David Corenswet and Francois Arnaud, and all the latest Broadway casting updates: from Hadestown to The Rocky Horror Show to Oh, Mary! Are the Just in Time reality TV casting rumors true? Did Sadie Sink use a British accent in the West End Romeo & Juliet? Is Tom Holland following in Hugh Jackman’s footsteps? Hear Connor’s overdue thoughts on Kate Hudson in Song Sung Blue, as well as a rehash of various Best Actress/Actress competitions, and even a little Marvel moment after Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s release.
