About this episode

Are your vocal chords warmed up yet? This week, Tessa and Princess discuss their love of the business that we call show -- show business, baby! They get into their respective theater backgrounds, their mutual love of tick, tick...BOOM! and Bo Burnham's Inside, and what hit songs they would put in the musicals of their lives. 

Also, be sure to check out Cobra Kai (Season 5 premieres tomorrow!) because we've got Peyton List aka Tory on the show next week!
