Dylan and Connor are joined by Olivier Award winner Sam Tutty (Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Dear Evan Hansen). Three redheads carry a pod into your ears! Fresh off the first preview of Rocky Horror on Broadway, the twins have a spoiler-free chat about the musical revival before diving into their convo with the leading man of Two Strangers. Sam is so charming, breezy, and silly. He fills the boys in on his New York experience, his thoughts on American culture and cuisine, and the nature of the eight-shows-a-week schedule. Sam’s upcoming trip to London, featuring a birthday barbecue, Tesco’s Meal Deal, and a visit to see his girlfriend’s musical Paddington are all discussed. Sam charts his journey through every iteration of Two Strangers, including the various recordings of “New York,” being part of script and character revisions, and how the show has grown since Christiani joined the cast for the American run. He speaks about his early experiences with the theatre (Phantom of the Opera!), when he learned he could sing, and happy memories from Dear Evan Hansen in the West End. Anime, video games, and Summer House and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are on the table, y’all. Prepare to fall in love with Sam. Don’t miss him in his Broadway debut as Dougal in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)!

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. Clay is king!

Dylan and Connor are joined by Matt Koplik (Broadway Breakdown) for a thrilling preview of the Broadway 2026 spring season! Their fellow theatre podcaster brings his signature hot takes and witty humor to spotlight the upcoming productions coming to the Main Stem. The boys dish on Death of a Salesman, Giant, Proof, and all of the straight plays on the docket, as well as new musicals and revivals like Schmigadoon, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Rocky Horror Show. They rave about Carrie Coon, Rose Byrne, Jessica Hecht, and all the gals (which should come as no surprise). Listen as they discuss how many cast members from The Gilded Age and The Bear will be treading the boards, the trend of “bringing out the beave,” and for some scuttlebutt about Paddington’s rumored journey across the pond. Will the twink musical of the season (The Lost Boys) prevail? With this trio, you know there’s plenty of early Tony Awards talk throughout about the major categories: musical, actor, actress, and beyond. Some might say this is a breakdown of Broadway. Get into it!
