Ben Fankhauser discussing Newsies, Spring Awakening, and his high school theatre days. Also a deep dive into his favorite YouTube videos. Ben Fankhauser on Slumber Party LIVE!

I've been so bored during quarantine I have been playing a game where I see if I can guess the Elphaba based only on their voice! It's... way too fun. This is the second version: https://youtu.be/gQtcMk3icKI

Kat McPhee's Twitter is full of very gay memes and gifs making it seem like she hired a social media intern to run her account and Megan Hilty seems to have done the same. I made a parody of this as if I was auditioning to be their intern... then it was leaked that Kat is a Republican...? Thoughts? Either way, I hope this makes you laugh in these crazy times!

But beyond that, Shoshana Bean is a tough act to follow, especially on the Godspell “blue album.”"

Oh yes. when it comes to riffs it really is Bean, Bean and nothing but Bean! 

KingOfTheMine said: "Alysha Umphress!"

OH YES. Her Simple Joys of Maidenhood riffs are everything. 

OMG yes the QUEEN. 

I got to interview the iconic Alice Fearn and asked her where those UNREAL riffs came from!! She is everything. Who are your favorite riffers on Bway? (I'm gonna ask Ben Fankhauser to come on too!)

I hosted a reunion for the search for Elle Woods the reality show on MTV. During the reunion Rachel Potter jokingly said that there was rumor that there was another house of girls who were edited out of the series. I edited myself in as that other house of girls lol https://youtu.be/ZI5FGXr1U6U

I fell into a deep binge of the reality show Search For Elle Woods this quarantine. Then I got the cast to reunite for a Zoom Youtube Live reunion! They were very inspiring and wonderful! Find it here:
