Goodversations Theatre Podcast

Our guest today is the brilliant David Harris, who is currently commanding the stage as The Duke in  Moulin Rouge! On Broadway. Originally from Australia, David has built an impressive career playing some of musical theatre’s most iconic leading roles. His extensive resume includes Miss Saigon, Wicked, Mamma Mia and Legally Blonde just to name a few, and it was a joy to hear him reflect on his 20+ years in the industry. Join us as we talk all about his journey from dropping out of college and moving to Sydney to pursue acting, to then becoming one of the most acclaimed leading men of his generation. We also talk about what inspired his move from Australia to New York at the age of 39, what it’s been like navigating life here, and of course, his incredible performance in one of my favorite musicals, Moulin Rouge. ______ Follow David on Instagram: @davidharrisoz Follow Goodversations on Instagram: @goodversations ______ If you enjoyed this episode, please share it on your social media stories!

Our guest today is Lauren Buchner, a theatre lover whose path into the industry is as unconventional as it is inspiring. By day, she works in corporate America - but over the past year, she’s become a Broadway investor, proving that there’s no single way to be part of this industry. Lauren is an investor in two incredible Broadway shows - Two Strangers Strangers Carry A Cake Across New York and Every Brilliant Thing, starring Daniel Radcliffe - both of which are nominated for Tony Awards this season, which is the theatre industry’s highest honor. Join us as we talk all about her journey so far and the lessons learned along the way, the qualities she believes are essential for anyone who’s looking to get into Broadway investing, the kinds of stories she hopes to see more of, and so much more. ______ Follow Lauren on Instagram: @laurbuchs Follow Goodversations on Instagram: @goodversations ______ If you enjoyed this episode, please share it on your social media stories!

Our guest today is the multi-talented Carey Renee Sharpe, who recently made her Off-Broadway debut in Blood/Love - a vampire pop opera that she wrote and performed in. Set within a nightclub called The Crimson, the musical follows her search for meaning beyond immortality when she encounters a human with secrets of his own. Carey’s journey is really fascinating - she began formal violin training at just three years old but pursued a career in nursing instead. After stepping away from healthcare to restore a historic theater in her hometown, Carey rediscovered her passion for the performing arts and started working on her own original musical shortly after. Join us as we talk about the Halloween party that inspired Carey to write this musical, her journey from the initial idea to the finished show, her  collaboration with two-time Grammy nominee Dru DeCaro, and so much more.  ______ Follow Carey on Instagram: @careyreneemusic Follow Goodversations on Instagram: @goodversations ______ If you enjoyed this episode, please share it on your social media stories!
