Connor and Dylan are joined by Claybourne Elder (“The Gilded Age, Company). Hello, hello, hello! On the heels of The Comeback’s third season, the twins obsess over Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish before diving into this chat. Claybourne is as sincere and dreamy as you’d hope! This star previews his debut album, If the Stars Were Mine, ahead of its release on Center Stage Records on April 3rd. “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” lullabies, standards, and even a song from If/Then can be heard on his stunning record. Clay dishes on Encores! The Wild Party, his upcoming 54 Below shows, and pivotal album advice he received from Emily of The Indigo Girls. Clay is a Sondheim boy through and through - starring as Andy in Company on Broadway, Sondheim’s 80th Birthday Celebration, Sunday in the Park with George (standing by for Jake Gyllenhaal), and MORE. We discuss the kindness of strangers on his first trip to NYC, which inspired his own charity organization City of Strangers. Claybourne shares Broadway highlights, stories from his Mormon upbringing in Utah, and memories from filming “The Gilded Age.” Stick around for a doozy of doses of DRAMA., including how Dylan fared doing Hudson Williams’ skincare routine and Clay’s Chappell Roan hot take.
