Jennifer Duka (The Lost Boys)

It's been a season of unforgettable firsts for Jennifer Duka! She is currently making her Broadway debut as Alan Frog in The Lost Boys, the most Tony-nominated show of the season. From performing in the Tony Awards opening number alongside P!nk and Neil Patrick Harris to seeing her name on an original Broadway cast album for the very first time, this debut has been filled with pinch-me moments. In this episode, we talk about the lessons she's learned from the Tony Award-winning leaders of The Lost Boys, Michael Arden and Shoshana Bean, what it was like going straight from NYU to Broadway, and why it was so meaningful to walk the opening night red carpet in a look by a Filipino designer. ⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

Richard Riaz Yoder (Schmigadoon!)

Today’s guest is Richard Riaz Yoder, who is currently dancing their heart out 8x a week in their 10th (!!!) Broadway show, the joy fest that is Schmigadoon! In this episode, we talk about the Black excellence of Shuffle Along led by the incomparable Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell, the top-down leadership Bette Midler brought to Hello, Dolly!, and where Richard falls in the very important Schmigadoon! feud between Ana Gasteyer and September L. Davis. But at the center of this conversation is something even bigger: the importance of finding the people in this industry who truly see you, lift you up, and remind you why you started in the first place. Richard is pure light, and this episode feels like sitting in that light! ⭐ ️⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

Ryann Redmond (Bring It On, Frozen, Heated Rivalry)

Today’s guest is Ryann Redmond. I first fell in love with her signature mix of wit, silliness, and heart in If/Then, one of my favorite musicals where she starred alongside Broadway legends, like Idina Menzel, LaChanze, Anthony Rapp, & Jenn Colella. But Ryann’s Broadway journey began even earlier when she made her debut in Bring It On the Musical. Since then, she has become a dynamic and beloved presence on the New York stage, from originating roles in Escape to Margaritaville and Once Upon a One More Time to making history as the first female Olaf in Frozen. In this episode, we dive into how to sustain a long career in the business, the unexpected story behind performing Death Becomes Her alongside Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Britani Bateman, and what it was like sitting in the audience for MTV’s taping of Legally Blonde. Plus, keep an eye out for what’s next with Regency Girls, and you can catch Ryann back on the New York stage this spring in Heated Rivalry off-Broadway. Previews begin May 12, 2026, so run, don’t walk. ️⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.

Caroline Bowman (Frozen, Wicked, Smash)

Caroline Bowman is the true definition of an artist who leads with heart and authenticity. She made her Broadway debut as the understudy for Elphaba in Wicked and later returned to the role as principal Elphaba on Broadway. She was also part of the original Broadway cast of Kinky Boots and starred as Eva Perón on the Evita tour alongside her best friend and former podcast guest Desi Oakley. Caroline went on to lead the Frozen tour as Elsa for nearly five years, stood by for Nicole Scherzinger in Sunset Boulevard, and originated the iconic role of Karen Cartwright in Smash on Broadway. In this episode, we talk about what it means to grow in this industry alongside her Broadway husband Austin Colby, why betting on yourself is everything, and how the right roles truly come at the right time. ️⭐️ RATE • REVIEW • SUBSCRIBE ⭐️ If you love theatre and fashion as much as we do, invite another diva to join the Dressed Rehearsal community.
