Dylan and Connor are joined by Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti (Gypsy, My Fair Lady). Y’all, this is an episode of DRAMA. for the herstory books! Instantly canon. Laura joins the twins for a cozy, Christmastime chat that includes favorite traditions, Laura’s miniature holiday village, and her daughters’ wish list for Santa. Laura is hot off the literal presses after speaking about her experience with a certain castmate in She Loves Me, but we’re more curious about favorite moments with the beloved, late Gavin Creel. We were all misty-eyed as she honored sweet Gav. Laura’s extraordinary resume goes on and on, so tune in for highlights from Gypsy (Patti! Arthur Laurents! A Tony win!), Meteor Shower, The Wedding Singer, The Sound of Music, and My Fair Lady. Wouldn’t it be loverly, tho tbh? More moments: working with Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings, becomings with Briga Heelan, the Hot Teens of the Gossip Girl reboot, and her friendship with Amy Schumer. The boys also describe their bucket list experience of attending a dress rehearsal of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Paul Mescal, as well as laugh laugh laugh with Laura on this episode. Check out Laura’s original musical comedy show “Nobody Cares,” now available on Audible.
