Don't Stop Believin' Broadwaysted Fans...this week we are thrilled and full of...glee...because we're sitting down for some drinks and some laughs with the incredible Jenna Ushkowitz!

We're pouring out vodka and gin while Jenna spills about her experience stepping into the Sara Bareilles musical WAITRESS and the epic adventure that was Tina Cohen-Chang on the Fox hit show GLEE.

#WhatHaveYouSeenThisWeek finds us discussing the Diva Duo of Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole in WAR PAINT, the legendary Donna Murphy in HELLO DOLLY! and Kevin talks about the recent World Premiere of his musical SHE IS A SHIPWRECK with Alyssa Champagne and Jason Sager in FringePVD.

Game Master Kimberly introduces a game called "Mash Ups" that finds Kevin, Bryan, and Jenna attempting to sing musical theater songs as if they were written in other genres and then we create a TV show (that might be a little too close to GLEE) using Lights of Broadway Show Cards.

We also go on a long tangent about 90s television shows and discuss the profound usefulness of the word "y'all." We have a blast with new #FriendoftheShow Jenna Ushkowitz so listen in and join us for another rousing episode of Broadwaysted!
