"But... Rihanna" with Joaquina Kalukango

Dylan and Connor are joined by 2022 Tony Award Winner Joaquina Kalukango (Paradise Square, Slave Play). This week, the twins are giving thanks for this queen’s visit to DRAMA. On the heels of her upcoming starring turn as The Witch in Into the Woods on Broadway, they discuss Joaquina’s relationship to the piece, her recent Tony Award win for Paradise Square, and “Let It Burn” already appearing in drag mashup roulettes at gay bars across America. More topics include Oscar Wild, the film podcast by Sophia Ciminello and Nick Ruhrkraut, the breathtaking Danielle Brooks, asking Cynthia Erivo for leading lady advice, The Color Purple, Julliard, Rihanna, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
