DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell

Connor and Dylan are joined by Megan Hilty (Death Becomes Her, NBC’s Smash) to celebrate 5 YEARS of DRAMA. You’re gagged. We’re gagged. Everyone is gagged for the queen Megan Hilty, who is finally back on Broadway, starring in Death Becomes Her. She’s doing it “For The Gaze,” y’all. The twins of course dive into every possible topic you’re hoping for: what it’s like creating Madeline Ashton for the stage, how Megan’s dressing room is coming along (as designed by friend of the pod Krysta Rodriguez), and the joys of working with the fabulous Jennifer Simard and the whole cast of DBH. Don’t worry, as one of Wicked’s first and most beloved Glindas, they get the dish on creating her own Glinda the Good, what she remembers most from those days, and the Hilty High Note rumors. They get into 9 to 5, being Tony nominated for Noises Off, and of course… starring as Ivy Lynn in Smash on NBC. Stick around for LOTS of Housewives and Below Deck talk with fellow Bravoholic Megan Hilty. You are going to love all of that and more in this fabulous chat with Megan Hilty.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Alyse Alan Louis (Teeth). Listeners, throw on your rain poncho and prepare to get drenched in the Splash Zone of this fabulous new podcast episode. Currently starring as Dawn O’Keefe in Teeth at New World Stages, Alyse joins the twins for some dramaaaaaa. We hear all about the coming-of-rage musical, Alyse’s long journey with the show, and what keeps audiences coming back for more bites. She gives flowers to the entire cast and creative team who make the show happen each night, and developed it for over a decade. Of course, the boys need to hear all about Alyse’s Broadway debut in Mamma Mia, which coincided with the film’s release, Beth Leavel’s turn as Donna, AND how Alyse met her dreamy husband Eric William Morris. The Sophie and Sky love story for the ages, y’all! Alyse also reflects on falling in love with the arts by watching her sister Jillian Louis perform. We love a sister act! We dive into the drama of Lindsay Lohan’s career resurging, Andy Mientus’ book Fraternity, and thoughts on the WICKED film.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Tony Award nominee Gabby Beans (Romeo + Juliet, The Skin of Our Teeth). If the end is right it justifies… the Gabby Beans of course! Listen in as this fiercely talented star of Romeo + Juliet on Broadway sat down with the twins for a little DRAMA. Gabby opens up about playing the dual roles of Mercutio and the Friar in this Sam Gold-helmed revival. She raves about the leading players of Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor, and teases the cast rap battles happening before the audience's very eyes onstage. Gabby reflects on her high school days in Germany, pursuing Neuroscience AND Theatre while at Columbia, and growing up as an army brat. She brings us back to her Tony-nominated turn in The Skin of Our Teeth at Lincoln Center, and the experience of being nominated alongside extraordinary women in her category. Trust, we chat about Jake Gyl, “Presumed Innocent,” and her aptly-named bob in the Apple TV+ series. How does this Shakespearean star spend her off days? What shows are on rotation for Gabby? Settle in for this terrific chat, which also includes chatter about Conclave, Anora, Sally Rooney’s latest novel, and more. See Gabby Beans in Romeo + Juliet through February 16!Follow Gabby on InstagramFollow DRAMA. on Twitter & Instagram & TiktokFollow Connor MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramFollow Dylan MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramSubscribe to our show on iHeartRadio Broadway!Support the podcast by subscribing to DRAMA+, which also includes bonus episodes, Instagram Close Friends content, and more!

Connor and Dylan are TALKING. TWINS. TALKING. In the words of Carrie Pipperidge from Carousel, “did ya like it? Did ya?” Well, we sure hope ya will! Recorded before Tammy Faye’s gone-too-soon closing announcement, the twins dive into theatre news of the moment. Elf’s glowing reviews, Paul Mescal’s Streetcar going to BAM, whether Maybe Happy Ending’s critical/audience response will catch up to ticket buyers, and the Scherzy Page Six Deepfake Gate. But that’s not all, y’all. The demise of Twitter/X, the rise of RHOSLC and RHOP, and the drama of today, tomorrow, and yesterday are on the boards. Finally, Dylan and Connor discuss the Wicked film (including its press tour) before Dylan has his first viewing. Let us be glad and let us be grateful. PERIOD. By the way, who’s the most famous out gay man in the world?
