"Ab Fab Lady of the Underground" with Amber Gray

Connor and Dylan are joined by Tony Award nominee Amber Gray (Eureka Day, Hadestown). In their first new recording of 2025, the twins sat down to debrief holiday film releases Nosferatu and A Complete Unknown ahead of welcoming this queen to the pod. Amber Gray, y’all! Dream guest alert! Amber joins us moments after the miracle announcement that the original principal actors from the Original Broadway Cast of Hadestown are reprising their roles in the West End. GAGGED. Amber walks us through discovering Persephone, cut lyrics from the musical, and the beautiful opportunity for closure on this 11 year journey. We dig into balancing Broadway and motherhood, raising remarkable sons, and the “happy accident” of having a musical theatre career. Amber dishes on her current Broadway project: Eureka Day. Stay tuned for a cameo or two from living legend Jessica Hecht, who stars alongside Amber in this timely new play. Our fabulous guest reminisces on collaborating with Dave Malloy and Rachel Chavkin, leading to her turn as Hélène in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. Which version of Comet was her favorite? Listen and find out! We also discuss Amber’s character in Here We Are, Claudia, resembling RHONY’s Sai de Silva, Squid Games, farm to table recipes, and more. Charmante, charmante, charming. Period.
