Episode Description
“Tony Awards, reality shows, and one unforgettable friendship—Marissa tells all.”
It’s a full-blown Hairspray Broadway reunion! Marissa Jaret Winokur joins John Hill for an unfiltered, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional episode of Show Pony. The Tony-winning original Tracy Turnblad and John have been ride-or-die since originating Hairspray on Broadway—and this conversation pulls back the curtain on everything from backstage chaos to real-life breakdowns (and breakthroughs). Marissa opens up about her time hosting Dance Your Ass Off, living in reality TV boot camps (The Biggest Loser, anyone?), and even making it to Dancing with the Stars. She and John dig deep into their early Hairspray days—before the Broadway lights—and get real about friendship, forgiveness, and pharmaceutical theft (yes, really). Plus, John gives you his signature solo Workout recap (Season 3, Episode 6).Whether you're a Broadway baby, a reality TV obsessive, or just here for the chaos of two musical theatre Broadway kids catching up, this one’s for you.
