"Being a Geek" with Jason Robert Brown

Published: Sept. 18, 2024, 8 a.m.

Dylan and Connor are joined by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, The Bridges of Madison County). We\u2019re recording a pod about hope, OKAY?! Y\u2019all\u2026 Jason. Robert. Brown. On DRAMA. The twins are absolutely gagged to be joined by one of their all-time favorite musical theatre songwriters. Jason is a busy, busy man. We\u2019re joined by him ahead of his solo debut at Carnegie Hall while he\u2019s also juggling an album drop of his 2019 Town Hall concert with Stephen Sondheim, the Parade National Tour casting process, The Last Five Years on BROADWAY\u2019s pre-production, and writing three new projects. As if that wasn\u2019t enough to discuss, the twins dive deep into JRB\u2019s history to discuss his concerts at SubCulture, the early days of TL5Y in Chicago and off-Broadway, some untold stories about where and how he wrote Bridges alongside Marsha Norman, and TEA about \u201cBeing a Geek\u201d from 13. Jason has worked with Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Shoshana Bean, Jonathan Bailey, Jeremy Jordan, Kristin Chenoweth, and more legends than we can even count. Stick around for stories about Parade, Songs For a New World, and Stephen Sondheim.
