Next week, the chaos continues with "The Chaos Twins" with Sasha Hutchings and Nik Walker. What's it all about? "In a world of extremes, where the divides are deep and the struggles are real, sometimes, the only way back to the calm... is Chaos," say Sasha and Nik.
"Enter The Chaos Twins. Join us, two Broadway artists/goofballs, as we break through the noise and break down current events, with our unique brand of humor and insight. A talk show filled with special guests, non-sequiturs, stories, trivia and more, all aimed to help us find our true north again... by any means necessary."
Tune in next Wednesday, July 29 (and every other Wednesday at 4pm EDT) to watch the next episode right here at BroadwayWorld or on Facebook Live. And while you wait, catch up with last week's guest- the incredible Chris Jackson as he takes the hot seat!
"Dr. Lynn Stevenson was the only PhD in my entire school system. One day she handed me The Crucible. I don't know why that play of all things [effected me], but man, did it grab me!" he said of his first exposure to theatre. "I was 15 [years old] and I was clearly on an emotional spiral. It was going down fast. And that one day turned my entire life around."
watch as the trio comes together to share some of their favorite (and hilarious) Hamilton memories, chat about Chris's illustrious career so far (including his favorite, Bronx Bombers) and more!
