Episode 85: Aaron Tveit and The Pacific Jazz Orchestra
On May 11, 2024, Aaron performed his first solo concert with The Pacific Jazz Orchestra at The Soraya Stage. To say that this concert was incredible would be an understatement. The setlist was insane with so many new songs, and surprise songs were revealed on the night. But the most anticipated song of the night was Roxanne and Aaron performed that song not one but twice and opted up not once, but twice and everyone in the audience and those who saw videos of it are still trying to recover. Today's episode recaps that night! Hope you enjoy!

Episode 84: Rest Now, My Friends: The closing of Sweeney Todd
And just like that, 12 weeks of Sweeney Tveit and the revival of Sweeney Todd have come to an end. What an incredible run both the show as a whole and Aaron had. It was such a privilege to be able to witness that magic that Aaron, Sutton and the entire company created on stage night after night, show after show. May 5th was electric and such a special show and my friend Jill is back with me to recap and highlight favorite moments from the final show.

Episode 83: Rouge Memories and a Sweeney SNOB
Two years ago on April 23, 2022, I saw Moulin Rouge and Aaron Tveit live for the first time and nothing as been the same since! The first half of today's episode reflects on some Rouge memories. The second part highlights another incredible, first time experience: my first ever Saturday night on Broadway and a front row experience with Sweeney Tveit! Still recovering from that experience, but I feel so grateful to have had it happen before the the show ends in just two weeks.

Episode 74: Topher
Shifting from the 1940s musicals and Rapscallion Danny Bailey, to the 60s and 70s musicals of Season 2 of Schmigadoon. Season 2 brought audiences to Schmicago and introduced the loveable hippie Topher to be the light and levity among some of the darkness in Season 2. From Doorways to Where, to Something Real, to Sour Macaroons, to gassing up the Happiness Bus, Topher was much more prevalent in Season 2.

Episode 31: And Now It's Time For The Breakdown
Today's episode is diving deeper into two interview articles that came out for Aaron Tveit's return to Moulin Rouge. One was conducted through Broadway Direct and the other was conducted by Carleton English. Both articles shared so many little nuggets of insight into Aaron's thoughts and feelings on return to the Rouge after being away for 8 months. I felt like both interviews deserved some time to shine.

Episode 29: Return to the Rouge: Part 1
He's back Bohemians! Aaron Tveit has officially reprised his role as Christian in Moulin Rouge! I had the privledge to be in the audience for Aaron's first show back on January 17, 20223 and it was and absolutely unforgettable, electric experience! Return to the Rouge is actually going to be a two parter because there's just so much to dive into: from the audience, to Aaron's presence, to the small and big moments of the show...it still feels so surreal that Aaron is back and that I had the opportunity to be a part of it! Enjoy Part 1 of Return...

Episode 27: Braindead
Happy New Year! The first episode of 2023 is all about the on screen relationship of Gareth Ritter and Laurel Healey in Aaron's CBS show, Braindead. Bugs, and head explosions aside, the chemistry between Gareth and Laurel is undeniable, so this episode will focus more on the sweet, yet challenging aspects of their on screen relationship amidst the craziness of DC politics.

Episode 26: The Crowned Prince of Galwick
It wouldn't be the holidays without our favorite Prince James of Galwick. One Royal Holiday has become such a comfort movie to so many since it first premiered. The cast is made of up of some stellar Broadway stars and through this movie Hallmark showed that it was possible to still work and create in the middle of the pandemic. There's so much to love about the way that Aaron portrays our Prince James, from his sarcasm to his vulnerability. I hope you enjoy this episode and have a "very Merry Christmas. And a Happy New Year, indeed."

Danny Zuko has become a beloved character for different generations. Aaron Tveit assumed the role of Danny Zuko in 2016 for the TV Musical adaptation of Grease Live! While he certainly was able to get into character and look the part as a result of phenomenal costumes and hair, he also level up his skills with bringing the iconic dance moves and songs to the screen for one night only! This episode will highlight Aaron's perspective on assuming the role, how he prepared for it, and what his initial thoughts were when this opportunity was presented to him. Enjoy!

Episode 20- The Only Reason to Watch Anything Horror Related
Okay okay, as Spooky Season comes to an end, it seems only fitting to cover Aaron's two roles in American Horror Stories. Adam the contractor in Rubber Girl Part 2 and grieving father, Jay Gantz in Feral. Both episodes have elements of horror, but his Feral episode is the psychological stuff of nightmares. Both roles that Aaron plays for the series are very different and they were Aaron's first opportunity to be exposed to acting in the horror genre. Happy (early) Halloween!

Episode 13- Aaron Tveit vs. Social Media
Oh social media. It's got a little bit of everything, the good and the bad. Aaron's stance on the topic of social media has always been consistent in that he wants to keep his private life private and share only about his work on his social medias, which he didn't actually fully have an use until 2015. This episode dives deeper into Aaron's perspective on social media and the role that it plays in his life today.

Today's episode is a bit of a jump in Aaron Tveit's career timeline, but I wanted to do this episode now because of it's relevance.

Ep. 7 One Day More
We are here! Aaron's first big motion picture role! He captured our hearts and Inspector Javert as the barricade building, revolutionary Enjolras in Les Miserable. This role of Aaron's holds a special place for me, as it was my first experience with Aaron as an actor and hearing his voice. So much of this role was a dream come true for Aaron and he was hand selected for very specific reason by the producers, and he plays a critical role in why we are able to see the groundbreaking, live singing musical movie that we know and love today...

What do Aaron Tveit and Leonardo DiCaprio have in common? Besides their good looks, they've both also taken on the role of the fantastical life of Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can. Catch Me If You Can, is a musical project that Aaron to this day speaks of with so much pride and adoration. The show may have had a short run on Broadway, but it's impact on Aaron and his future performing roles has been huge. Tune into Episode 6 for more of Aaron's story about the musical and his performance.

I'm Alive!
Well here we are! Aaron's first originated role on Broadway. Gabe, from Next to Normal. Next To Normal was a unique show to perform and also to watch as an audience member because it targeted difficult subjects such as mental illness and family dynamics. But through the show, Aaron and the rest of the cast members created components that each member of the audience could connect to in one way or another.
