Aaron Tveit and Paul Wontorek have connected multiple times over the last 12 years for epic interviews and conversations about Aaron's career, life, and upcoming projects. These interviews have stood the test of time and are always fun to go back to and revisit. So in honor of the latest interview dropping last week, this week's episode is a walk down Aaron and Paul Memory lane.
Every time I see Moulin Rouge the Musical! It be comes so clear that Moulin Rouge is a state of mind that I never, ever want to leave. I returned to the Rouge on 2/19 and the show was just as, if not more magical than the last time. The way that Aaron is able to add little notes, looks, lines, or movements to enhance every performance! I just can't get enough!
Sunday, February 5th was another memorable day at the Moulin Rouge! We had to bid farewell and Happy Trails to the founding member or the Bohemian Explorer Society, Sahr, better known as Toulouse Lautrec. So many special moments were shared between all of the cast members on stage, but specifically between Aaron and Sahr and Aaron and Ashley! Today's episode recaps those moments and pays tribute to Sahr and his embodiment of the Bohemian ideals: truth, beauty, freedom, and love.
"I sit and wonder..." how in the world has it been SEVEN years since Grease Live aired and gave a new generation a version of Danny and Sandy to love?! Today's episode is a short and sweet tribute to the production of Grease that changed the face of live musicals! Aaron and the entire cast had amazin chemistry and showed a joy and energy that was so contagious to viewers! Cheers to 7 years!
Today's episode is diving deeper into two interview articles that came out for Aaron Tveit's return to Moulin Rouge. One was conducted through Broadway Direct and the other was conducted by Carleton English. Both articles shared so many little nuggets of insight into Aaron's thoughts and feelings on return to the Rouge after being away for 8 months. I felt like both interviews deserved some time to shine.
Part 2 discussion of Aaron Tveit's return the Rouge as Christian the Composer. There were just so many aspects and areas of Aaron's first performance back to get into that I broke the recap up into two parts to make it more digestable. This episode covers a specific backstage romance moment, and how the Moulin Rouge ending truly does leave you wanting more more more! Enjoy!
He's back Bohemians! Aaron Tveit has officially reprised his role as Christian in Moulin Rouge! I had the privledge to be in the audience for Aaron's first show back on January 17, 20223 and it was and absolutely unforgettable, electric experience! Return to the Rouge is actually going to be a two parter because there's just so much to dive into: from the audience, to Aaron's presence, to the small and big moments of the show...it still feels so surreal that Aaron is back and that I had the oppo...
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! In just a few short days, Aaron will be back on stage as Christian in Moulin Rouge! Today's episode takes a look back at Aaron's audition, how he worked with the team to come up with Christian's backstory, and some other favorite cast moments! Enjoy!
Happy New Year! The first episode of 2023 is all about the on screen relationship of Gareth Ritter and Laurel Healey in Aaron's CBS show, Braindead. Bugs, and head explosions aside, the chemistry between Gareth and Laurel is undeniable, so this episode will focus more on the sweet, yet challenging aspects of their on screen relationship amidst the craziness of DC politics.
As we wrap up 2022, I'm resharing another favorite episode from the podcast. The Eternally Grateful episode which highlights Aaron's humbleness and appreciation for all of the people and opportunities in his life that has lead him to where he is today. Happy New Year!
Hi Tveit Nation! While there's no new episode this week, I wanted to reshare the Enjolras/Les Miserables episodes since the 10th anniversary of the movie coming out in theaters is coming up on Christmas Day, Decemeber 25th! Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
It wouldn't be the holidays without our favorite Prince James of Galwick. One Royal Holiday has become such a comfort movie to so many since it first premiered. The cast is made of up of some stellar Broadway stars and through this movie Hallmark showed that it was possible to still work and create in the middle of the pandemic. There's so much to love about the way that Aaron portrays our Prince James, from his sarcasm to his vulnerability. I hope you enjoy this episode and have a "very Merry C...
What a week in the world of Aaron Tveit! One week ago, he announced his 12 week, limited return to Moulin Rouge! The internet exploded with excitement and anticipation! Aaron also reunited with Danny Burstein and Baz Luhrmann at Rizzoli Bookstore in New York City for a book signing to celebrate David Cote's book. I was lucky enough to have gotten a ticket to this signing and got to meet Aaron in person! This week has been unreal and this week's episode recaps it all! Enjoy!
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things....or in the case of today's episode, you're about to hear a few of my Aaron Tveit favorite things. From Ricky Live, to concerts, to Broadway Show moments, let's see how many favorite Aaron things we have in common!
Aaron's long awaited return to the stage happened at Kean University on 11/12/22 and it was just as amazing as you could have imagined. This week, I chatted with Jill who has the TikTok account @broadway_luv and was able to collect videos of Aaron's performances to share on her account with Tveit Nation. I love the opportunity to chat with others in this amazing community and Jill did not disappoint. Hope you enjoy our recap of the concert!
Part 2 of Grease Live is here! This time highlighting more members of the stellar cast, their chemistry on and off screen and how they felt about taking on these iconic roles in a new way!
Danny Zuko has become a beloved character for different generations. Aaron Tveit assumed the role of Danny Zuko in 2016 for the TV Musical adaptation of Grease Live! While he certainly was able to get into character and look the part as a result of phenomenal costumes and hair, he also level up his skills with bringing the iconic dance moves and songs to the screen for one night only! This episode will highlight Aaron's perspective on assuming the role, how he prepared for it, and what his initi...
Okay okay, as Spooky Season comes to an end, it seems only fitting to cover Aaron's two roles in American Horror Stories. Adam the contractor in Rubber Girl Part 2 and grieving father, Jay Gantz in Feral. Both episodes have elements of horror, but his Feral episode is the psychological stuff of nightmares. Both roles that Aaron plays for the series are very different and they were Aaron's first opportunity to be exposed to acting in the horror genre. Happy (early) Halloween!
Tomorrow, October 21st, our National Treasure will celebrate his birthday! Today's episode kicks off the celebration a day early with more highlights and favorite moments over the years! Enjoy!
Happy October! Aka: Happy Aaron's Birthday Month!! Time to celebrate. It's not enough that Aaron Tveit is a Tony award winning Broadway star, a legendary Enjolras, and a TV show power house, he also know how to put on and perform epic concerts! This week, I wanted to highlight my top Aaron concert moments and songs. Do we share the same favorite moments? Let me know! Enjoy!
Switching gears from TV back to film. During his TV show hiatuses, Aaron was able to be a part of two smaller films that could not be more opposite. Better off Single and Created Equal. One tells the story of a man trying to find himself after a break up. The other follows a lawyer who tests his beliefs and his mindset as he sets out to defend a case. Enjoy!
It's almost a wrap on the series Graceland. Season 3 levels up in so many ways. The stakes are higher, the body count goes up, the secrets grow, and Aaron Tveit's acting abilities reach new heights! Season 3 is highly emotional, and tugs at the heart strings. Listen in and enjoy!
Moving right along to Season 2 of Graceland. Everything's changing. The house dynamics, the relationships, the cases. Season 2 is all about how the agents personal agendas interfere with their ability to collaborate, which leads to distrust and a betrayal of epic proportions. Hope you're ready for a wild, recap ride!
Welcome to Graceland! We have reached that point where it is time to talk about one of my favorite pieces of work Aaron has been apart of, Graceland. Special Agent Mike Warren is one of my favorite characters of Aarons'. Each season, Aaron's acting skills level up as he captures the life and lies as an undercover FBI agent. This episode will dive into Season 1 and includes a combination of season/episode events as well as some behind the scenes facts and stories from the cast. Also, there will b...
Oh social media. It's got a little bit of everything, the good and the bad. Aaron's stance on the topic of social media has always been consistent in that he wants to keep his private life private and share only about his work on his social medias, which he didn't actually fully have an use until 2015. This episode dives deeper into Aaron's perspective on social media and the role that it plays in his life today.
Play ball! This week's episode focuses Aaron's performance as John Mazzello in the independent baseball film, Undrafted. Aaron hits it out of the park with his portrayal of John, "Mazz" during a intramural baseball game. He broods, he questions his desire to continue playing, he motivates his teammates, and in the end he realizes that there's more to life and the game of baseball than getting drafted. If you haven't yet watched Undrafted, I really encourage you to check it out!
Today's episode is a bit of a jump in Aaron Tveit's career timeline, but I wanted to do this episode now because of it's relevance. Today's episode is all about Aaron's time playing Bobby in Barrington Stage's production of Company. Right now, as this episode is being released, we are in the middle of the five year anniversary timeline of the show's Barrington run, which opened on August 10, 2017. Aaron's performance of Bobby is one that many fans wish they could have seen. I hope you enjoy this...
Today's episode is the first mini milestone for the podcast: episode 10! Today's episode includes two more "Aaron Stories." It's been so much fun to connect and learn more about Aaron's fans and what draws them to him and his many talents! Enjoy!
This week's episode is part 1 of 2! I had the opportunity to speak with some other fans of Aaron Tveit and learn more about their "Aaron Story" and what drew them in to him and his work. It's something so special to be a part of a community that shares the same interests and admiration, but the fact is, we all have our own unique story for how we got there and I'm excited to share some "Aaron Stories" with you over the next two weeks!
Episode 8 is light and fun as it discusses a few of Aaron's more recent onscreen/onstage love interests. Starting with Graceland and going through to Moulin Rouge, there's no shortage of chemistry between Aaron and his co-stars.
