On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes Grammy Award-winner and celebrated stage and screen actor Will Roland to the pod! On tap in today’s Bar Talk are NYC vaccination mandates from a bartender's perspective, the resurrection of the “Matrix,” and remembering powerhouse performer Michael K. Williams and infamous funny man Norm Macdonald. Will takes us behind the scenes of his successes starring in Broadway’s “Be More Chill” and “Dear Evan Hansen,” racial equity and collaboration on the stage, dream roles, and why “Cats” is one of the greatest musicals of all time. This episode’s game gets tipsy as Will and the guys compare musicals to cocktails from sipping Manhattans during “The Sound of Music,” to sharing Old Fashioneds during “Chicago,” as Will and George offer the exact same comparison in a Know Your Role(s) first! In today’s Last Call, George praises recent fall tv premieres, while Dave looks ahead to the October 1st release of “The Many Saints of Newark.” Producer Mary Bess zooms in on the fight for racial equity outside the Met Gala and celebrates Broadway’s triumphant return!
