I'm not the only one who has Enjolras in their top three favorite Aaron Tveit characters! This week's episode highlights our favorite fighting French man. Aaron made the Broadway world proud with his portrayal of Enjolras and the Oscars strut...Iconic...forever and always.

Never did I ever think there'd be a connection between Aaron Tveit characters and Harry Potter Houses, but here we are. Jill is back with me this episode and together we sorted some of Aaron Tveit's characters into the Harry Potter Houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Some characters fit into multiple houses, some of them we had different opinions and some we really just did...

Seven years ago, Aaron performed two concerts back to back. On August 27th, he performed at the House of Blues in Boston and on August 28th he opened for Andy Grammer and Gavin DeGraw at Bethel Woods. Aaron's concerts were also so full of energy and he just radiated joy while on stage singing and dancing. Hopefully another rock concert series is in his future!

When asked what is one show Aaron has been in that I would go back in time to see, one of the top answers is always Company. His portrayal of Bobby, what's been described in interviews, and listened to through audios was so powerful. Aaron has said that Bobby was a milestone role for him. This week's episode takes a look back at Aaron's time in Sondheim's Company.

Last month on July 18th, it marked 17 years since Aaron made his Broadway debut in Hairspray. But his journey to Broadway began well before that debut. Thanks to a high school that encouraged students to participate in all the activities and to a teacher who saw the potential and talent that Aaron had bottled up inside of him.

Moulin Rouge! the Musical just celebrated two big milestones! On July 22, they celebrated the performance of their 1,000th show on Broadway and on July 25, they celebrated their 4th Anniversary of the show opening on Broadway! This show has brought so much joy over the last 4 years, so this episode is a little look back to highlight a few special nights.

If you had asked me a year ago if I would go and see Moulin Rouge without Aaron Tveit, my answer would have been a hard no. Thanks for friends and social media and opportunities to be exposed to other Christians and the actors portrayals of the character, I have open my mind and have gone on to see Derek Klena on Broadway and John Cardoza on tour. My friend Jill and I talk about the different Chri...

July 1, 2023 goes down in history as the day that Aaron Tveit was called in as an emergency cover for Christian the Composer at the Moulin Rouge! It happened so fast and everything from the Aaron and Ricky reunion on Ricky Live to the walk across the stage to lift the sign, to the amazing vocals of JoJo and Aaron together. It all made for one wild, magical night!

Aaron's role as Matt Dobbins in the CBS show, The Code, is proof that you do not need to have a lot of screentime to have a big impact. Just as he and his castmates did in Next To Normal, Aaron's character Matt deals with mental illness and its effects on relationships and day to day life. Enjoy this recap conversation about The Code.

Today's episode marks another little milestone for the podcast. It's been one year since the first episode dropped and one year of highlighting the work of accomplishments of our Tony Winning, National Treasure, Aaron Tveit. Today's episode is a bit of a reflective on on the past year of episodes and just what it has meant to start and continue with this little passion project. Thank you for being...

There is one project that Aaron was apart of that he has expressed that he wished more people new about and that is his role as John Wilkes Booth in the London production of Sondheim's Assassins. From November 2014 to March of 2015, Aaron performed 7 nights a week and today's episode shares more about this project and how Aaron prepared for the role.

It's Tony Sunday this weekend! So let's take a little walk back down the best kind of memory lane that led to Aaron Tveit becoming a first time Tony winner! I still cannot listen or watch his speech without getting emotional. That moment for him was so much bigger than the award. He finally felt "seen" by the community he loves being apart of!

Today's episode is a fun little break. While some parents spend time in the car with kid songs blasting, my kids, ages 5 and 3, spend time in the car with Aaron Tveit and Moulin Rouge blasting. So they're familar with the show and Aaron's voice. Both of them sat with me for a few minutes and answered a few questions about Aaron and Moulin Rouge. Hope you enjoy their brief responses.

Part 2 of the Tripp van der Bilt storyline is recapped in today's episode! The focus this time is more on Tripp and Serena and the development and downfall of their affair. I have some thoughts on Tripp and his actions that are different than what I initially thought about him in Part 1...let's see if you agree!

Taking it way way back in time to the Upper East Side life of Gossip Girl, when Aaron played a young, manipulative politician named Tripp van der Bilt. It's been a long time since I have watched this series and back when I did watch it, I didn't yet know who Aaron was. So for these next two episodes, I have rewatched just Aaron's episodes of Gossip Girl and have focused on his storyline as Tripp a...

Finally, Aaron's concert at Mercyhurst University took place on May 3rd! The anticipation for the concert has been building up for a year and it did not disappoint. Today's episode is a recap of the concert, stories Aaron shared, reunions between friends, and a brief Aaron meeting.

I hope to do more episodes of Aaron fan stories in the future because these conversations have brought so much joy!

This week on the podcast, two more Aaron fans share their stories of how they discovered Aaron and his many talents. The timelines of these two stories could not be more different. One discovered Aaron at the very beginning of his career and actual saw him live during that time. The other has the viral Tiktok from one year ago to thank for her introduction! Enjoy!

April 9th was a night to remember and the emotions of that night and wishing Happy Trails to many cast members are still raw. Today's episode has been broken up into two parts to recap the April 9th performance at the Moulin Rouge! Part 1 is here, Part 2 will drop tonight!

Of course, the cast it feels like seeing old friends on stage. This week's episode is a recap of a night spent at Moulin Rouge as we enter into the final days of Aaron Tveit's run.

2023 has so far been a year of YES when it has come to Aaron Tveit and Moulin Rouge! Aaron has brought so much joy into my life, but he and his career have also gifted me with some amazing friendships. Those friendships are the topic of today's podcast episode.

Moulin Rouge twice in one week? That should be the norm, not the exception. At this point in Aaron's run, I've just accepted that I have no control over my spending when it comes to Moulin Rouge tickets. Just want to savor and bottle up every moment that I can! Today's episode recaps two different Moulin Rouge shows with who different Satines.
