Dylan and Connor are joined by Burke Swanson (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Back to the Future the Musical). Burke is currently starring as James Hopper Jr., AKA young David Harbour, in the stage play origin story of Netflix’s hit TV series Stranger Things. So yeah, you’re gonna be GAGGED! 100 performances into the play, Burke shares what his return to Broadway has been like, his favorite moments onstage with his costars, and how this show is flipping the script on what entertainment looks like on Broadway in 2025. Theatergoers across the country will know Burke from his portrayal of George McFly in Back to the Future the Musical (keep listening for a reenactment of his iconic character voice), as well as his New York stage debut in The Rose Tattoo opposite Marisa Tomei. He shares stories from his time PA’ing for Ralph Fiennes in The Menu, and how he’s stayed creatively engaged and fulfilled through the last few years. We talk fashion, Ryan Phillipe, Glass House Tavern, social life while onstage 8x a week, BJJ’s Purpose, David Corenswet as Superman, and moms. It’s a chat you will not want to miss. We’re so happy to welcome Burke into the DRAMA fam and guarantee that you are going to fall in love with him during this chat.
