Dylan and Connor are joined by Tony Award-winner Marissa Jaret Winokur (Hairspray, Celebrity Big Brother). You can’t stop the beat, nor the DRAMA! Marissa is currently reuniting with her fellow Hairspray leading ladies Kerry Butler and friend of the pod Laura Bell Bundy for Mama I’m a Big Girl Now, which is her first time back on a New York stage since performing as Tracy Turnblad. We gag over this heartwarming and hilarious show, dreams to take it on the road, and Matthew Morrison’s recent cameo in it. Marissa reveals how many times she’s seen the Wicked movie, diving into her close relationship with the three Grande divas: Joan, Frankie, and Ariana. She gushes over seeing Patti LuPone in Evita at a formative time, and even spills on what Harvey Fierstein whispered to her the moment she won the 2003 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. We go behind the scenes on Celebrity Big Brother (Ross Mathews! Omarosa Manigault Newman!), Dancing with the Stars, and motherhood in Hollywood. Marissa is a beacon of light, wisdom, positivity, and JOY! We’ve loved her forever, and you will too. Don’t miss Mama I’m a Big Girl Now through December 21st!
