“My Trinidadian Luck” with Melanie La Barrie

Connor and Dylan are joined by the fabulous West End queen turned Broadway star Melanie La Barrie (& Juliet, Matilda). This side-splitting gab between the dolls leaves no stone unturned, as they immediately hit it off. The trio chat about & Juliet’s transfer to New York City, creating the role of Nurse/Angelique, and the power of this groundbreaking musical sensation. Hear about Melanie’s Trinidadian roots (and luck), creating an array of iconic roles in the musical theater canon, and why she prefers to use her native accent in her projects. They also get into Viola Davis’ Oscar snub, The Traitors on Peacock, cell phones in the theater, dreamy costars Oliver Tompsett and Stark Sands, the comedic prowess of David Badella, Keala Settle as the Nurse, and all of the & Juliet lore and tea. Get ready for powerful wisdom, belly laughs, and MORE.
