In light of the holiday weekend, enjoy a mini episode recapping what Jackie called "the most incredible live theater experience ever."
On a whim, Jackie (@jackiemaroney_) ended up at Death Becomes Her's closing performance, and wowowow is she glad she was there.
In this mini ep, we're reflecting on the impact of fandom within Broadway communities, the importance of shows that bring pure JOY and ENTERTAINMENT, and recounting how Jennifer Simard eluded everyone at the stage door!
It's a quickie but its fun :)

Death Becomes Her is closing on Broadway this weekend, and to mark the occasion, Jackie (@jackiemaroney_) is joined by her sister Lauren, a DBH super fan who has seen the show FOURTY THREE TIMES?!?!?! (and counting... she's not about to miss closing weekend, of course). They discuss what kept Lauren coming back to the Lunt, unpack and compare Madeline performances of Megan Hilty and Betsy Wolfe, and debate if the musical could have had a longer run if both leads had been replaced at the same time.
Death Becomes Her will be alive forever in our hearts xoxox rip we'll miss you :(

Last night was the 79th annual Tony Awards and we have some FEELINGS!!!!!
Jackie breaks down the night - biggest wins, surprises, snubs, and controversies, including the victories for "Ragtime" and "Schmigadoon!", the losses for "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" and "The Lost Boys", and what the results say about the current state of theater.
Are Tony voters rewarding innovation, or are they still gravitating toward the safest choices?

Jackie (@jackiemaroney_) is joined by friends to discuss the hottest show of this Broadway season, "Cats"! (Yes, you read that right...)
This reimagined production is unlike anything we've seen on Broadway before and we're here to unpack it. Is this show performative for the marginalized groups it claims to represent? Did Grizabella die? What even is the Heaviside Layer? Are we, as a group, going to start respecting "Cats" now? Tune in to find out! Purrrrrrrrrrrrriod.
