Summary

Robbie Rozelle wraps up his episodes with the moment we've all been waiting for: Stephen Sondheim stories!! Robbie talks about extensively working so closely with the legend he calls a "deity" and why you always, always (always!) sing what Sondheim wrote on the page. 

Robbie also takes us through creating his cabaret shows and explains why it's all about storytelling. Celebrities? Boring. What do YOU have to say? Let's find out what that is and then find ways to lift people up and make good art with and for the ones we love.

Oh and we are all over the place so buckle up! We're talking Housewives, Taylor Swift, Scandoval (Team Ariana!), The Traitors (Gabby Windey 4eva we heart you Gaggy), the invisible string theory, and our TikTok FYPs.

I'm wrapping up my episodes

with Robbie Roselle, or as he calls it, just two friends talking. Robbie identifies as a Charles

0:26.2

Nelson Riley with a Paul Lind rising, so as you can imagine, it was very fun to go back to basics

0:30.8

with these apps. Robbie was on the couch, I was on the floor, and Mix Master Mike made one hell

0:35.0

of a cocktail. Now, to be fair, I didn't partake in the everything's

0:38.3

coming up Roselle, but I will say it looked amazing. It's crazy because the last time I did what I guess

0:42.9

you'd call an old school recording was February 27th, 2020. Yes, I went back and check the date.

0:48.0

Andy Blank and Bueller came over, he blew all of our minds, and then things went virtual, to put it very lightly. Anyway, all this to say,

0:54.8

it was super fun and a little nostalgic to hang and record with my friend Robbie like this.

0:58.8

Talking Hamilton and theater and Taylor Swift and co-op and housewives and absolutely anything

1:03.6

that popped into our heads. And then we got pizza after. I mean, truly old school. The episodes are

1:08.6

how you say chaotic. So there's really no point in trying

1:12.2

to succinctly recap them right now. Especially when Robbie's about to discuss working with

1:16.0

Steven Sondheim. Like, hello, why am I wasting any more time? So here we go. We're kicking

I have more time than God.
