Vivian Bayubay McLaughlin Talks "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas!"

In this heart-hugging holiday chat, we welcome the wonderful Vivian Bayubay McLaughlin, beloved from Disney’s Out of the Box and a longtime favorite in children’s theatre and musical education. Vivian joins us to celebrate her return to the stage as Ma Otter in Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas at OFC Creations. She shares why this show has been part of her family’s holiday tradition for years, the magic of working with Henson-style puppetry, and how stepping back into the spotlight after motherhood and teaching has awakened a whole new layer of joy. Vivian opens up about the emotional heart of the story, the nostalgia that shaped her as a child performer, and the gratitude she feels bringing this tale of hope to a new generation. From backstage memories to the overwhelming smiles sparked by the puppets themselves, this conversation is full of warmth, holiday spirit, and the kind of authenticity that makes Emmet Otter such a cherished classic. The Roundtable with Robert Bannon streams on BroadwayWorld, iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
