BARE with Natalie Wachen

BARE: A POP OPERA was edgy and (dare we say) groundbreaking when it took Los Angeles by storm in 2000. Twelve years following that electric debut, the show was retooled to become BARE: THE MUSICAL. Despite both versions having loyal fans, both were unable to thrive in the New York theatre scene. Still, that hasn't stopped BARE from being one of the most requested titles by our podcast listeners.

This week, we welcome the smart, funny, and glamorous Natalie Wachen (little "wa", big "CHEN"), on her one day off from the Broadway hit MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, for a personal conversation about this unique piece of musical theatre. This episode has it all: evening gown discussions, memories of DEAR EVAN HANSEN tech rehearsals, theatre that will keep you out of hell, and a whole lot of soul baring. (Jeff manages to not cry!)

Follow Natalie on Instagram @happiestactress (a great follow). See her on Broadway in MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG until July 7th. merrilyonbroadway.com
