Broadwaysted Welcomes the Stars of CLEOPATRA: THE NEW POP EXPERIENCE, Sydney James Harcourt & Talia Thiesfield

Our "mummies" would be so proud of us this week because we're sharing drinks and laughs with the two stars of CLEOPATRA: THE NEW POP EXPERIENCE!

We're pouring out bourbon and vodka with the incredible performer (and HAMILTON alum) Sydney James Harcourt and the beautiful and talented Talia Thiesfield while we discuss the immersive party experience and brilliant musical journey of CLEOPATRA: THE NEW POP EXPERIENCE.

Sydney and Talia spill about utilizing their "diverse bag of tricks" as actors and the shows that inspired them to pursue a life upon the wicked stage. Sydney shares his HAMILTON experience and some of the craziest "Stage Door Stories" (#StripForStreep) and Talia talks about the positive effect that HAMILTON has had on casting and opportunities for diverse actors.

Game Master Kimberly leads the group in a multiple-choice "Cleopatra Quiz" and a round of "Hot Potato" style "Heads Up!" The laughs flow this week almost as much as the booze, so join in the happy hour then check out CLEOPATRA: A NEW POP EXPERIENCE before it closes October 8th!
