DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell

Dylan and Connor are joined by Christiani Pitts (Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York), King Kong). Three strangers (two of which are twins…) became SISTERS during this all-time dynamic, breezy, and gorgeous convo. Hear all about starring as Robin in the hit new musical Two Strangers, from first listen to audition to Boston to BROADWAY. Christiani shares her favorite songs, what it’s like working with Sam Tutty, and how returning to the New York stage in this show has been a gift. Stories from A Bronx Tale, highlights from middle school productions of Grease, and the impact of Raven Symone and The Cheetah Girls are discussed at length. We also get into The Pitt season 2, Olivia Dean’s MOMENT, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, AND Ultimate Road Trip tea. This episode is the cure for your winter blues. Be happy, y’all.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Brandon Flynn (Data, 13 Reasons Why). You already know and love him, but prepare to fall deeper after this truly good hang. Fresh from recently opening the new play Data at the Lucille Lortel, Brandon talks about the preview process, developing his character Jonah, and his chilly walk to work in the West Village from his East Village apartment. Brandon gets honest about his coming out story, the radical queer life he lives with his talented husband Jordan Tannahill, and how he hopes he can pave the way for young queer actors. These ‘93 babies hit it off as they discuss The Real Housewives of Miami, Lady Gaga and the Grammys, and Charlize Theron’s transformation in Monster. But that’s not all, honey! They cover Rent Boy by Gary Indiana, 1000lb Sisters (drama!), and the lost art of the answering machine messages. In light of Heated Rivalry’s meteoric popularity, Brandon reflects on a similar effect when 13 Reasons Why was first released 10 years ago. This episode suuuuper gay btw! We’re big Brandon fans on DRAMA. Go see him in Data through March 29th!

Dylan and Connor are joined by Grammy Award nominee Nichelle Lewis (Ragtime, The Wiz). Snuggle in during the winter snow storm for a gorgeous and cozy chat with the twins and Nichelle, who is currently starring in the critically acclaimed revival of Ragtime at Lincoln Center Theater. Hot on the heels of Oscar nominations, they dive into the amazing day for Sinners, debate how scary the film is, and list off their top hottest Michael B. Jordan performances. We chart Nichelle’s full journey: show choir solos, Molloy College experiences, survival jobs, and MORE. Stories from Hairspray on tour (with Nina West!) and being on American Idol (with Katy Perry!) cannot be missed. Stick around for Traitors talk, the online video that booked Nichelle in The Wiz, and how Nichelle’s connection to the spiritual world plays out onstage. CHILLS.

Connor and Dylan are joined by John-Andrew Morrison (Oh, Mary!, A Strange Loop). It’s a new year, which means the twins and their guests can’t get enough of one thing and one thing only – The Traitors. Candiace, Rinna, and Rob, oh my! Listen in for spirited chatter on the latest season of the reality show (so far). Then make way for the King of the Lyceum Theatre, Mr. John-Andrew Morrison! “JAM” dishes on his journey with the hit play Oh, Mary!. His year of Abraham Lincoln, camp, and comedy led him to this moment sharing the stage with Jane Krakowski, Jinkx Monsoon, Hannah Solow, Cheyenne Jackson, and MORE. Listen in for tales of onstage hijinks, backstage antics, and how he approaches each performance as Mary’s Husband. JAM shares stories from youth theatre in Jamaica, seeing Dreamgirls on Broadway with the original Broadway cast, and his experiences at La Mama.
