• st in nyc

  In this episode, Stacy and Meghan catch up about Meghan’s recent trip to New York City to see Stranger Things on Broadway and Sadie Sink’s new play, John Proctor is the Villain. Stacy was sick and missed the trip, so Meghan recounts it for her in great detail, including culinary adventures, navigating the city, and unexpected celebrity encounters. We get into the immersive aspects of the production, as well as the character development and emotional impact of the First Shadow. If you don’t want too many details about the plot, you may want to skip 34:15-38:30 and 40:25-42:58 which get into minor spoiler/content warning territory. Finally, Meghan attended a listening party for Joe Keery’s new Djo album The Crux in Brooklyn and recounts that experience as well. Follow along to feel like you were on this NYC adventure, too!
