Ep. 64: Jeanna de Waal

An alum of Broadway's Hairspray and the hostess of HK's most star-studded open mics, Friend of the Pod Michelle Dowdy fills in as Jim's co-ho this week!  And WHAT a week... Jeanna de Waal is here, who's got a number of major musical credits herself: Wicked, Waitress, American Idiot, Sweeney Todd, KinkyBoots, and most famously the titular lead of Diana: The Musical! Jeanna is an absolute, humble delight as she talks to us about all the ups and downs and real stuff that goes on behind the scenes of a bona fide Broadway career. the fabulosity of her Diana wigs and wardrobe and the legacy of its infamous Netflix screening, and the hype behind her upcoming Red Eye cabaret with Maria Bilbao!
