DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell26 Nov 2025

“Schoolin’ Life” with Lencia Kebede

Connor and Dylan are joined by Lencia Kebede (Wicked, Hamilton). Closing out their 6 year podcast anniversary month, the twins are thrillified to welcome Wicked on Broadway’s reigning Elphaba to the podcast! Lencia is making HISTORY as the first full-time Black Elphaba on Broadway. Recorded during Wicked: For Good’s release week, the trio discuss their favorite moments, Ariana Grande’s POWER, and the two very special screenings Lencia got to attend. We chart Lencia’s entire journey with the musical: from audition to rehearsal to opening night on the Gershwin stage. She shares her approach to the character, what this moment has meant to her, and how her co-star Allie Trimm helped welcome her to Oz. Lencia speaks about touring with two different Hamilton companies, where she played Woman 5 and then THAT GIRL Angelica Schuyler. We hear stories from Rent on Tour, singing backup for Beyoncé Knowles Carter, and greatest hits from hometown theatre. Stick around for a recap of Jinkx and DeLa’s holiday show, raves for Joshua Henry in Ragtime and Liberation on Broadway, and continued discourse of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Don’t you see… he loves her. And so. Do. We.
