[6:28] Hayley Podschun: Something rotten.

[6:30] Bryan Plovski: What's your favorite omelet?

[6:31] Hayley Podschun: Um I actually don't like omelets.

[6:34] Hayley Podschun: I don't like the texture of omelets.

[6:36] Hayley Podschun: I like them scrambled.

[6:37] Hayley Podschun: So whenever I see an omelet, I'm like, can I get that scrambled?

[6:40] Bryan Plovski: Okay.

[6:41] Bryan Plovski: Great.

[6:41] Bryan Plovski: That actually makes a lot of sense.

[6:42] Hayley Podschun: Thank you.

[6:43] Bryan Plovski: Yeah.

[6:43] Bryan Plovski: We're into that.

[6:43] Kimberly Cooper: Um, couple questions for you before we move on to the club.

[6:45] Hayley Podschun: We're into scrambled eggs, is that what you just said?

[6:49] Hayley Podschun: Not specifically scrambled eggs, but like I don't like.

[6:52] Bryan Plovski: I understand you like I get it.

[6:54] Bryan Plovski: So in addition to Broadway, the Great Broadway.

[6:58] Bryan Plovski: Um you've also been in Hail Caesar.

[7:01] Hayley Podschun: Yes.

[7:01] Hayley Podschun: You were in you've been in Louie.

[7:03] Hayley Podschun: Yes.

[7:04] Hayley Podschun: And you were in the Hairspray movie.

[7:06] Hayley Podschun: I was.

[7:07] Bryan Plovski: On the Hairspray movie, what was the feeling in terms of being on a movie musical and like were there a lot of opinions? And and and I guess, like, what was that experience like?

[7:16] Hayley Podschun: It was so crazy for me because I had just done a year of the tour of Hairspray playing Tammy, one of the white girls.

[7:24] Hayley Podschun: Um, and then I was you need to say that because this is a podcast.

[7:28] Hayley Podschun: Well, and it's all of the council kids.

[7:33] Hayley Podschun: Um, and then literally, like a week after the tour closed, I went to Canada and did the movie.

[7:42] Bryan Plovski: Oh, okay.

[7:43] Hayley Podschun: I would get it, and then I didn't know.

[7:48] Hayley Podschun: Um we filmed in Canada for six months, and I played Tammy once again.

[7:52] Hayley Podschun: Um but the that was a six-month shoot.

[7:55] Hayley Podschun: Yeah, it was super super long.

[7:57] Hayley Podschun: We rehearsed for a few uh get that.

[8:00] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, that's that's Kevin opening his his what number is that, Kev?

[8:03] Kevin Jaeger: This is in broad tipsy, folks.

[8:06] Bryan Plovski: Not broad tipsy.

[8:07] Hayley Podschun: Um so what was so interesting was the difference between the tour and the movie, not only choreographically, but like, you know, with the film, we would wear vintage dresses and corsets underneath our clothes and shoes that really weren't made for dancing.

[8:24] Hayley Podschun: So we would do a few takes and then um, you know, a dress would rip, and they'd be like, oh no, and you're like, right, we're wearing vintage clothing.

[8:33] Hayley Podschun: Whereas on Broadway, it's like we're wearing clothing to dance in.

[8:36] Hayley Podschun: You're wearing Capizios and Correct.

[8:38] Hayley Podschun: So also like at the end of numbers for Broadway, like you would get immediate applause, and then on the movie set, you finish and they're like, nicest, kids in town, hoot silence.

[8:49] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, and you're like, that's very similar to our jokes.

[8:54] Hayley Podschun: But that was a little similar to like before Grease Live when they didn't have the live audience.

[8:59] Kevin Jaeger: Like the whiz was just like, that was the most amazing production number.

[9:02] Bryan Plovski: Oh, I guess I guess it was just funny.

[9:04] Hayley Podschun: Moving on, I guess.

[9:05] Hayley Podschun: Perfect example, but it was super fun and cool.

[9:08] Hayley Podschun: Crazy fun.

[9:09] Bryan Plovski: So tell me what you couldn't stop.

[9:12] Hayley Podschun: The beat.

[9:13] Bryan Plovski: Okay.

[9:14] Hayley Podschun: Um if there was one thing you couldn't stop, what would it be?

[9:17] Hayley Podschun: Well, in Canada, you were legally allowed to drink at age 19 or 20.

[9:24] Hayley Podschun: So we were legally allowed to drink in Canada, so we could not stop the alcohol consumption.

[9:30] Bryan Plovski: Which is you were preparing for our show.

[9:32] Hayley Podschun: I understand.

[9:33] Hayley Podschun: Yes, yeah.

[9:33] Hayley Podschun: She was pre-pre-preparing.

[9:35] Hayley Podschun: Her life has been leading to the we were like children, you know, getting money, and we were like, let's have a beer at you know five o'clock.

[9:44] Bryan Plovski: We did.

[9:44] Bryan Plovski: Yeah, that's what we do.

[9:45] Bryan Plovski: We're actually filming, we're actually recording this at six in the morning.

[9:50] Hayley Podschun: Before work.

[9:51] Hayley Podschun: Yeah.

[9:51] Hayley Podschun: So you're actually we could do that.

[9:53] Kevin Jaeger: I mean, we would no babysitter.

[9:55] Kevin Jaeger: We actually cannot do that.

[9:56] Bryan Plovski: Why that's not a good one.

[9:57] Kevin Jaeger: Six in the morning a good idea.

[9:59] Kevin Jaeger: That's not a good idea across the room.

[10:00] Hayley Podschun: Only you can wake up that early.

[10:01] Hayley Podschun: That's true.

[10:02] Hayley Podschun: Um I mean, other people can, but they just shouldn't drink it.

[10:13] Hayley Podschun: It's called Mimosas and Bloody Mary.

[10:14] Bryan Plovski: Yeah.

[10:15] Bryan Plovski: So your Broadway debut was in Sound of Music.

[10:17] Hayley Podschun: Yeah.

[10:17] Bryan Plovski: And you were seven months old.

[10:21] Hayley Podschun: How old are you?

[10:21] Hayley Podschun: I was 12.

[10:23] Bryan Plovski: That's pretty close.

[10:24] Bryan Plovski: Yes.

[10:25] Bryan Plovski: On the overunder in the course of uh a lifetime?

[10:28] Bryan Plovski: Yeah.

[10:28] Bryan Plovski: That is close indeed.

[10:31] Bryan Plovski: Um you were 12.

[10:32] Bryan Plovski: What was that like?

[10:34] Hayley Podschun: Um, I was kook of crazy because I was aware that it was happening, so I was able to take the whole experience in, which for now me at my age is really cool because I feel like sometimes when I'm at work, like well, you've been really you've been in a lot of shows and you've been very busy, and we're even shocked that you had time for us because you're like always in a Broadway show.

[10:54] Hayley Podschun: Um very kind.

[10:57] Bryan Plovski: No, that's a weird tangent.

[10:58] Bryan Plovski: I'll probably cut that.

[11:00] Hayley Podschun: It's truth though.

[11:01] Hayley Podschun: It's very kind.

[11:02] Hayley Podschun: You're a very busy lady.

[11:03] Hayley Podschun: Thank you.

[11:04] Hayley Podschun: Um, but yeah, I don't know.

[11:06] Hayley Podschun: I was I was just I was aware, like that I was making my Broadway debut, and um I was an offstage standby, so whenever one of the girls were sick or injured or went on vacation, they were never injured, but you know, they like randomly I only went on like two or three times.

[11:23] Hayley Podschun: Um, but I remember making that entrance as Louisa my first time Anna went on, and I had to like enter through the big, you know, glass doors in the opening, and and um I just remember like stepping forward to say my name and was like holy crud, like I'm on Broadway right now.

[11:40] Bryan Plovski: Yeah.

[11:41] Bryan Plovski: And I remember also in like the the scene when we're in Maria's room and like there's the lightning.

[11:47] Hayley Podschun: Yeah, one of the girls who was playing Marta like forgot her lines, and because I knew everyone's lines, you stepped up, I full out stepped up and like said her line.

[11:56] Bryan Plovski: Every 12 year old's dream.

[11:57] Hayley Podschun: I was gonna say you saved a show in your Broadway debut.

[12:03] Hayley Podschun: Oh my god, I've never even thought about that.

[12:06] Bryan Plovski: Incredible.

[12:06] Hayley Podschun: You're a superhero.

[12:07] Hayley Podschun: You've been a superhero from day one.

[12:10] Hayley Podschun: So my cape.

[12:13] Hayley Podschun: No, no, yes, exactly.

[12:14] Hayley Podschun: Very dangerous.

[12:15] Bryan Plovski: Um so that was your Broadway debut, but what what was the first show you saw on Broadway or your first show experience that like we're like, oh, I'm gonna do this?

[12:24] Hayley Podschun: Well, my parents tell me that it was when I saw Annie at the Starlight Theater.

[12:28] Bryan Plovski: That's Kansas City.

[12:29] Hayley Podschun: Is it really?

[12:30] Bryan Plovski: Yeah, it was not at Kansas City, though.

[12:32] Hayley Podschun: Well, you're perfect redheaded Annie.

[12:34] Bryan Plovski: Um if you didn't, if any if anyone out there didn't know Kansas City, everything is up to date there.

[12:39] Hayley Podschun: I hate you so much.

[12:41] Bryan Plovski: Get out.

[12:42] Hayley Podschun: Sorry.

[12:45] Hayley Podschun: Um my parents told me that I like stood on top of the chair.

[14:55] Hayley Podschun: I can't do that on microphones.

[14:58] Bryan Plovski: What's your word per minute?

[14:59] Hayley Podschun: 95.

[15:01] Hayley Podschun: But I got fired from a job because I wasn't fast enough.

[15:04] Bryan Plovski: Really?

[15:05] Hayley Podschun: Correct.

[15:05] Bryan Plovski: That was a 96 job.

[15:08] Hayley Podschun: That was a tough year.

[15:10] Bryan Plovski: That's crazy.

[15:11] Hayley Podschun: I don't know.

[15:13] Hayley Podschun: It was a very rough year.

[15:15] Bryan Plovski: Oh, yeah. Thank you. That's what we love here on Broadway City.

[15:18] Hayley Podschun: So the special skills I was most impressed by are the impressions you listed.

[15:24] Bryan Plovski: I love impressions. So I have I have some options for you of songs you could give us as these impressions you're so good at.

[15:30] Hayley Podschun: Yes.

[15:31] Bryan Plovski: So if you wanted to give us a little, maybe some right-hand man as Celine Dion.

[15:36] Hayley Podschun: Can I sing a Celine Dion song?

[15:38] Bryan Plovski: Yes.

[15:39] Hayley Podschun: So hold up.

[15:56] Kevin Jaeger: That's amazing.

[15:57] Hayley Podschun: I love that you picked this song that I always thought should be a Backstreet Boy song, but she has stolen. And it was like, no, I can do a poor band song all by myself.

[16:07] Bryan Plovski: She can.

[16:08] Hayley Podschun: If she can.

[16:10] Hayley Podschun: Because she does that. That's the way it is. Like, I'm telling you this.

[16:14] Bryan Plovski: Okay. Yes. So for your Britney Spears impression. Could you give me.

[16:19] Hayley Podschun: You can't stop the beat.

[16:21] Bryan Plovski: Yes.

[16:22] Hayley Podschun: I want to preface this with I am a card carrying member of a Britney Spears fan club. It is in my wallet.

[16:49] Hayley Podschun: Okay, I'm still the mother.

[16:56] Hayley Podschun: I was trying to hold in my lap because it was such a good impress.

[17:00] Bryan Plovski: Thank you. Can you sing satisfied as Brittany?

[17:01] Hayley Podschun: I don't even know if I know all the words.

[17:03] Hayley Podschun: I remember. Just satisfied.

[17:37] Hayley Podschun: She's like Samson.

[17:38] Hayley Podschun: It's his hair.

[17:38] Hayley Podschun: It's Samson's hair, is Brittany's abs.

[17:41] Kimberly Cooper: Kimberly, is there another ver? Is there another like step to this special skills?

[17:46] Hayley Podschun: There is one more special skill because but Kevin has a really good impression of Mandy Patinkin.

[17:51] Kevin Jaeger: I do.

[17:52] Hayley Podschun: And I was wondering if your munchkin impression that you have on your special skill could maybe do a duet of maybe popular with Mandy Patinkin.

[18:02] Kevin Jaeger: I want to hear the mayor of Munchkinville sing popular.

[18:06] Hayley Podschun: I'm ready.

[18:08] Hayley Podschun: Wait, I'm actually trying to think of what point of the song is a duet.

[18:12] Hayley Podschun: You would literally have to say, like, I have to go.

[18:16] Kevin Jaeger: I have to call.

[18:18] Hayley Podschun: Okay, right. Yeah, I'd be like, look at you.

[18:21] Hayley Podschun: Alpha Bow. You're beautiful.

[18:35] Hayley Podschun: It's a weird duet.

[18:37] Kevin Jaeger: Great.

[18:38] Hayley Podschun: I love it.

[18:38] Bryan Plovski: Great. Amazing. Brian does have one special skill that used to be on his acting resume.

[18:42] Hayley Podschun: What is it?

[18:42] Bryan Plovski: It was some sort of beatbox.

[18:44] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, uh on my resume was I do Ken Griffey Jr. baseball N64 beatboxing.

[18:50] Hayley Podschun: That's very specific.

[18:52] Bryan Plovski: Very specific. I was asked about that more times than not.

[18:55] Hayley Podschun: Okay. Can you demonstrate? Because I actually don't know what it means.

[18:58] Bryan Plovski: So at the beginning, when you when you played Ken Griffith Jr. baseball in N64, the the the opening like of that would be like this weird beatboxing thing. And essentially I like learn how to do that. So here it goes.

[19:10] Bryan Plovski: And scene.

[19:17] Hayley Podschun: Call me junior.

[19:23] Kevin Jaeger: Wait, go.

[19:25] Hayley Podschun: My eyebrows just went to the top of my scalp.

[19:28] Hayley Podschun: I'll be honest, I was so expecting to make fun of you, but that was so awesome.

[19:34] Kevin Jaeger: I won't send roses.

[19:40] Hayley Podschun: Did you serve beatboxing back in Mabel?

[19:42] Kevin Jaeger: I believe it was it.

[19:45] Bryan Plovski: So how many jobs did this book you?

[20:02] Kevin Jaeger: Alright. So this is the part of the podcast where I reach out to Lynn Manuel. Hi, Lynn. This is Kevin.

[20:07] Kevin Jaeger: My brother sent me an email this morning. My brother's in Chicago. And he sent me an email saying, hey, looks like I'll see Hamilton before you because they started selling tickets for the Chicago version of Hamilton.

[20:19] Kevin Jaeger: You can give me whatever tickets. I don't care if they're standing room. Lacrita taught me about the shift, so I'm ready to do standing room tickets. But please do not allow this torment to continue for me.

[20:29] Kevin Jaeger: Just send me one ticket. I don't even need a friend. I mean, two would be awesome. But like he would not take Kimberly and I.

[20:35] Kimberly Cooper: No, I am not taking Kimberly.

[20:35] Kevin Jaeger: That will literally be my crowning achievement in life to be able to look at them and be like, I saw it.

And I'm just transported and I'm crying during uh Shall We Dance. It's just beautiful, and it transported me back to when I played a King's Child Um naturally through the high school production.

[24:20] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah.

[24:21] Hayley Podschun: If you can believe it, this white girl from Kansas has always performed America in malls and movie theaters.

[24:28] Kevin Jaeger: Where else would you perform it?

[24:29] Hayley Podschun: I'm confused.

[24:29] Kevin Jaeger: Uh nursing homes.

[24:52] Hayley Podschun: I played Wendy. It was like a dream come true. And they're just they're the nicest, most wonderful people.

[24:59] Bryan Plovski: Well, so you've been in a lot of shows. I know, I know Rob McClure worked at Papermill a lot, and you went chaplain.

[25:04] Hayley Podschun: Yes. What was that experience like? Because you know, it got a lot of good press, but it it closed pretty soon.

[25:10] Hayley Podschun: Well, thanks to the hurricane.

[25:12] Kevin Jaeger: Thanks a lot.

[25:13] Hayley Podschun: Oh, was that Sandy's fault?

[25:15] Hayley Podschun: It kind of was. Um, a lot of the people that came to see our show were people that um I feel like were kind of over the bridge, or people that truly had respect for the theater.

[25:28] Bryan Plovski: Oh, Kevin's got another one.

[25:31] Kevin Jaeger: Kevin's pouring another cocktail.

[25:33] Hayley Podschun: Yes, ma'am.

[25:35] Kevin Jaeger: Is that what you call it?

[25:36] Hayley Podschun: C Dre.

[25:38] Kevin Jaeger: The Craig.

[25:43] Hayley Podschun: Um Chaplin was so special because you know, outside the stage door, it was people who like knew Charlie Chaplin's um history and and the specialty that he brought to the um the community of film and acting and comedy. Um it was just really, really cool. Um and for me, it was the first time to do a show that started from I was involved with the workshop process and then to bring it to Broadway um and to like have a costume designed on me, kind of. Um I've done it a few other times, but it was like revival stuff, and this for me was the first time of doing a show that was like was it your was that your first originated role?

[26:23] Hayley Podschun: Yeah. You know what? This is the time to play Broadway Regrets.

[26:27] All: Broadway regrets, Broadway regrets.

[26:29] Bryan Plovski: Broadway regret.

[26:30] Hayley Podschun: Broadway regrets.

[26:32] Kevin Jaeger: So Broadway Regrets is the time where we discuss what show we would have liked to have seen that we potentially could have seen on Broadway. So Kimberly, you go first.

[26:41] Kimberly Cooper: Oh no, I go first.

[26:44] Hayley Podschun: Yes.

[26:44] Kimberly Cooper: I've never seen any production of Spam a lot.

[26:48] Kevin Jaeger: My Broadway regret would have to be uh when Audra did Porgy and Bess. I really, really wished I could have seen one of her six Tony performances.

[26:54] Hayley Podschun: Yeah.

[26:59] Kevin Jaeger: And that would be the one I definitely wanted to see.

[27:01] Hayley Podschun: The first thing that comes to my head is like in my life with the lemons.

[27:09] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[27:10] Hayley Podschun: Because I don't even know what that means.

[27:12] Kevin Jaeger: No, someone handed me a free soundtrack of it on the street in front of the music box, and I was like, okay. I I don't I don't exactly know it in my life.

[27:20] Hayley Podschun: It's the girl thing. I I know there were lemons. That's all I I want to know what I need to know what that was about. I missed it. Handed like a three-song EP on the street in front of the music box theater, and I listened to those three songs on repeat for like three weeks, but it closed like the day I got handed that soundtrack.

[27:23] Kevin Jaeger: I need to know what that show was about, and I don't have time, or I don't know how the Lincoln Center Library works.

[27:50] Hayley Podschun: Oh, it's so cool. Folks, Brian is doing the jitter dance right now.

[27:54] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, Brian's doing a PP dance.

[27:56] Hayley Podschun: Do you need to go?

[27:56] Bryan Plovski: But I'm gonna sound like Broadway Regret.

[27:58] Bryan Plovski: I'm gonna pee.

[27:58] All: Okay.

[28:00] Bryan Plovski: Great. My Broadway regret is I did I actually didn't see the revival of Pippin that won for Best Revival.

[28:06] Kevin Jaeger: Neither did I.

[28:06] Hayley Podschun: It was very good.

[28:16] Kimberly Cooper: Uh Kimberly, why don't you explain our next game?

[28:19] Kimberly Cooper: Let's see the quiz. We have a quiz about flops.

[28:22] Kimberly Cooper: Flops quiz. So the way this quiz works, there are it's multiple choice. If you know the answer before the multiple choice, you just let me know and then I'll let you try to answer instead.

[28:32] Bryan Plovski: Okay.

[28:34] Kimberly Cooper: Awesome. Um, who would like to start? It's in no particular order.

[28:36] Kevin Jaeger: Kevin will start.

[28:37] Kimberly Cooper: Yes. You get the long one.

[28:39] Kevin Jaeger: Okay. There's always a long one. In in 1965, theater goers had the opportunity to see Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, and Hello Dolly. But only a handful had the opportunity to see this musical about Steve Brody, the man who in the 1880s claimed to have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and survived. The creative team gave this man a different name, and that was the title of the show. Was it called?

[29:05] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, I need the I need the thing, please. Was it called Kelly? Was it called Chaplin? Or was it called Goldberg?

[29:20] Kevin Jaeger: I'm gonna go with Goldberg.

[29:22] Bryan Plovski: The goalie from D Mighty Dogs?

[29:27] Kevin Jaeger: It was called Kelly. They renamed this man Hop Kelly. Like he hopped off the jump of the Brooklyn.

[29:34] Kimberly Cooper: Sure, he did. He hopped off the bridge.

[29:36] Kevin Jaeger: Hopping off Kelly. Um and just so you know, the songs from this show that only ran like two performances were called Everyone Here Loves Kelly, and I'll never go there anymore. So just to show you how much they knew.

[29:51] Kimberly Cooper: So we were going.

[29:53] Bryan Plovski: Alright. Um, Brian.

[29:55] Bryan Plovski: I'm here. There's yet to be a successful musical adaptation of Truman Capote's work. Breakfast at Tiffany's, one of the most anticipated productions of the 1966-1967 theater season did not even survive previews.

[30:08] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, that's what it gets.

[30:11] Bryan Plovski: Served you right. It starred Mary Tyler Moore and closed before it opened.

[30:17] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, I didn't know this.

[30:18] Kevin Jaeger: We all just made a face when you said Mary Tyler Moore.

[30:22] Kimberly Cooper: Oh wow.

[30:23] Bryan Plovski: Oh, yeah. She's gonna like the book, so they made her a foul-mouthed hat. But because she was so like beloved by her the show at the time, no one everyone was like, why is Mary Tyler Moore talking like a sailor?

[30:35] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, yeah.

[30:36] Bryan Plovski: And they didn't like it. Uh 2009 musicalization of Breakfast at Tiffany's ran in the West End and fared somewhat better. But the Broadway run only lasted 17 performances or 17 previews and 38 performances, and starred which HBO star? Amelia Clark, Sarah Jessica Parker, or Alison Williams?

[30:58] Kevin Jaeger: I'm gonna go with Amelia Clark.

[30:59] Bryan Plovski: It was Amelia Clark.

[31:01] Kevin Jaeger: It was Amelia Clark. And actually one of my Broadway regrets that I did not go.

[31:09] Hayley Podschun: I'm gonna read the next question over that Game of Thrones. In the 1960s, Broadway saw rock musicals such as Hair and the short-lived science fiction spectacle, Via Galactica.

[31:23] Hayley Podschun: Yeah, duh. The musical set a thousand years in the future. And it had trampolines embedded in the stage floor.

[31:31] Kevin Jaeger: Of course it did.

[31:32] Hayley Podschun: And they had really intense synopses in the playbills to assist the theater goers who had no idea what was happening. Featuring country and gospel-infused music by this composer. The show closed after more than seven performances.

[31:41] Kevin Jaeger: More than seven.

[31:46] Hayley Podschun: Oh, sorry, no. A mere seven performances. That O and E difference is a lot. The cider talking. Was it Galt McDermott? Andrew Lloyd Weber, or Paul Simon?

[32:02] Kevin Jaeger: Wait, what's the show called? It's Via Galactica?

[32:05] Hayley Podschun: Via Galactica. I'm gonna say it's Andrew Lay Weber because he made cats.

[32:11] Kevin Jaeger: It was Galt McDermott who wrote Hair. His follow-up to Hair was Via Galactica.

[32:17] Hayley Podschun: You know what? The residuals are making up for it.

[32:24] Kevin Jaeger: Cheers to residuals.

[32:25] Kimberly Cooper: Cheers to residuals. Kevin, you're up again.

[32:30] Kevin Jaeger: You are. This is the final round.

[32:31] Kimberly Cooper: This is the final round.

[32:33] Kevin Jaeger: This show. The second round. Opening on a Thursday.

[32:37] Kimberly Cooper: Okay.

[32:38] Kevin Jaeger: And closing that Sunday.

[32:39] Kimberly Cooper: Ooh.

[32:40] Kevin Jaeger: Wow. Played five performances at an $8 million loss. Wow. And earned the reputation of being the most spectacular flop to Grace Broadway stage. But it has earned a cult following. Was it the Rocky Horror Show? No. Was it Glory Days? Or was it Carrie?

[32:58] Hayley Podschun: I'm obviously going to say Carrie because it was the name of the book.

[33:01] Kevin Jaeger: Yeah, it was Carrie.

[33:02] Bryan Plovski: Yeah.

[33:03] Hayley Podschun: Really? I didn't. I actually would have gone with Glory Days because I thought Carrie ran longer.

[33:07] Kevin Jaeger: Glory Days only ran. This is Glory Day. It ran one one day. I saw the sixth preview.

[33:12] Kimberly Cooper: You're like a preview girl.

[33:15] Kevin Jaeger: You're a preview girl.

[33:17] Hayley Podschun: I only see previews.

[33:18] Kimberly Cooper: She's just a preview girl.

[33:21] Kevin Jaeger: Laboring in a New York Merrill.

[33:25] Kimberly Cooper: I don't know. I just made that.

[33:28] Kevin Jaeger: Who goes next? Was it Briday?

[33:30] Kimberly Cooper: We'll work on it. We'll get it. Wonderful. Taboo, a musical about the 1980s performance artist, promoter, fashion designer, and London nightclub personality, Lee Bowery, that closed after 100 performances at a total financial loss. Rosie O'Donnell, after seeing a version of the musical in London where it had a minor success, took on the role of producer and used how much of her own money to bankroll the show. Did she use? 10 million dollars? 15 million dollars, or 4.4 million dollars?

[34:04] Kevin Jaeger: 4.4.

[34:06] Bryan Plovski: 10.

[34:06] Kevin Jaeger: I don't know.

[34:07] Bryan Plovski: She used to be. I would have said 15.

[34:09] Kevin Jaeger: 10 million dollars and lost it all.

[34:11] Hayley Podschun: Art Hayley ready?

[34:13] Bryan Plovski: Oh god, no, I'm not, but go for it.

[34:15] Kimberly Cooper: So Kevin has one. I got one right.

[34:17] Kevin Jaeger: Did I get one? Did you?

[34:20] Kimberly Cooper: I can't remember. I got the first one right. Kevin got a second one right.

[34:23] Bryan Plovski: Right. I stopped writing it down. And so no, you got okay.

[34:26] Kimberly Cooper: So you two are tied.

[34:27] Kevin Jaeger: We're tied.

[34:27] Hayley Podschun: Haley, if we get this.

[34:31] Kimberly Cooper: We're gonna have a tiebreaker afterwards.

[34:33] Hayley Podschun: There needs to be a tiebreaker if you get this right.

[34:34] Kimberly Cooper: Yeah. Civil war musicals have a troubled history. As seen by failed shows like My Darlin Ayida, which transplanted Verdi's Aida to the American South. And two versions of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Nevertheless, in 1999, this composer presented his take on the deadliest conflict ever to take place on U.S. soil, closing after playing 35 previews and 61 performances. Who wrote The Civil War? Was it Jason Robert Brown, Maury Yestin, or Frank Wildhorn?

[35:12] Hayley Podschun: I'm gonna say it's Frank Wilde.

[35:14] Kimberly Cooper: It is Frank Wilde!

[35:16] Kevin Jaeger: It's a triple tie.

[35:18] Kimberly Cooper: What's the tiebreaker, Kimberly?

[35:20] Hayley Podschun: I can keep my equity card.

[35:23] Kimberly Cooper: Okay. For now. The tiebreaker is.

[35:32] Kevin Jaeger: Oh no.

[35:33] Kimberly Cooper: Oh God. And the Encore's production of Merrily We Roll Along.

[35:38] Kevin Jaeger: Yes.

[35:39] Kimberly Cooper: Yes. Who played the role of Charlie?

[35:44] Kevin Jaeger: Lynn Manuel and Karen.

[35:45] Kimberly Cooper: It was Lin Manuel and Lynn Manuel.

[35:47] Kevin Jaeger: Lynn Man played Charlie.

[35:48] Hayley Podschun: We played Charlie.

[35:49] Kevin Jaeger: Wait, do we tie?

[35:51] Hayley Podschun: I said Lynn.

[35:52] Kimberly Cooper: She did see Lynn first, though.

[35:54] Kevin Jaeger: No, I did not see the Chain. Because she's the guest, so she wins!

[35:58] Kimberly Cooper: Plus, I don't have prizes today.

[36:01] Bryan Plovski: Cocktail.

[36:06] Kimberly Cooper: We all won as a group.

[36:08] Kevin Jaeger: I like that.

[36:08] Kimberly Cooper: I wanted you to get that because you talk to Lynn every episode, and I was like, Kevin, I'll never.

[36:12] Kevin Jaeger: I talk very personally with Lynn. I have no idea what his character's name is, but uh he was great.

[36:18] Hayley Podschun: He was wonderful.

[36:19] Bryan Plovski: Yeah. So uh let's merrily we roll along now.

[36:22] Kimberly Cooper: Oh, sorry. Um, I think it's time for lightning show cards round.

[36:54] Hayley Podschun: Yes. Yeah, Squiggs draws the pictures.

[36:57] Kimberly Cooper: Yes, I know Squiggs.

[36:58] Hayley Podschun: Friend of the show.

[37:04] Hayley Podschun: Yeah. If you see an actor in there, let us know a show you'd like to see them in. Or just like any of your personal reaction or whatever. It's like word association with the cards because at this point there's only too many drinks involved.
