Together, the two unpack Act 2 and why it is such effective storytelling as well as the impact it has had on the pair.

Happy pride! To celebrate, Natalie wanted to do a 2 part series for her favorite production of all time, the 2016 Broadway Revival of Falsettos! In this episode, she invites her friend Sydney to chat all things Act 1. We discuss the show, the music, the costumes, the WORKS! Sydney also throws in some delightful theater industry tidbits and Natalie is simply dumbfounded at how far the two have come since meeting online as teenagers.
