The Broadwaysted Podcast Gets Sweet & Savory with CHARLIE's Kathy Fitzgerald and CATS' Aaron J. Albano

Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure Broadwaysted goodness because this week's new #FriendOfTheShow is Mrs. Gloop herself, the lovely and talented Kathy Fitzgerald!

Kevin was off in the Windy City so Bryan and Kimberly are joined by Guest Host and #FriendOfTheShow Aaron J. Albano (and his aerator) to pour out wine while Kathy chats about her experience in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Kathy spills about her Stage Door Notes session during WICKED, eating Dolly Parton's sweets during 9 TO 5, and her inspiration for her role in the original cast of THE PRODUCERS.

#WhatHaveYouSeenThisWeek finds the group discussing Jenn Colella in COME FROM AWAY and Aaron chats about his most recent trip to MISS SAIGON--with Lea Salonga. We introduce two new segments: "Stage Door Stories" and a Bachelorette Discussion called "Bacheloraysted" (not Bryan's favorite).

Game Master Kimberly leads the group in a "Big Booty" style game called "Oompa Loompa," a round of "Plot Points," and "Charlie's Fantasy Draft" with Lights of Broadway Show Cards. This is a super sweet episode so take your golden ticket and join us as Kathy Fitzgerald gets Broadwaysted!

Other Broadway credits include the scene-stealing office assistant Roz in 9 TO 5 and malicious headmistress Madame Morrible in WICKED. Currently Kathy can be seen as Mrs. Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Follow her @GrannyNYC
