    We’re back with another deep dive… This time we discussed all things Harold Zidler! Find out what we love about the ringmaster of the Moulin Rouge, as well as why we have beef with him.

    Duke’s Lawyers with James Bryers

    Your honor, we find the Duke of Monroth not guilty!  We had such a great time going international with this episode, all the way down under, as we chatted with James Bryers, who recently took his final bow with the Australian production of “Moulin Rouge.”  In this 1 a.m. (for us) interview with internet problems and chaotic energy, James talked to us about (and reminisced on) his journey with the show!  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cancantalkspod/ Follow James on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsjamesbryers/ We are proud to be official partners with SeatGeek.

    “It’s the Duke!” with Andrew Brewer

    We’ve got Team Duke in the house!  We spoke with the one and only Andrew Brewer (North American Tour Dukie Kabookie) about his experience with performing in “Moulin Rouge” all across America.  We discussed why the Duke isn’t necessarily the arch nemesis villain everyone thinks he is, and theories on the character’s future after he abruptly leaves the stage and doesn’t come back until encore. Andrew also shared his audition story (it’s one of the best ones we’ve ever heard), stage mishaps, his vision of a Scottish Zidler and much more!  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cancantalkspod/ Follow Andrew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandrewbrewer/ We are proud to be official partners with SeatGeek.
