"Cheug Cheug" with Alysha Umphress

Dylan and Connor are joined by the fabulous Alysha Umphress (On The Town, “Bonding”). It’s a proper kiki, full of laughter while nothing is off the table. The trio immediately bond over their love of ol’ London Town, reveling in their pantomime adventures and favorite afternoon tea spots. Alysha spills on her upbringing in the Bay Area, her multiple appearances in Annie the Musical, and her Shellie Award nominated performance as the red headed orphan. We cover her Broadway turns in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, American Idiot, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and of course On The Town. They chat about leaving one’s mark on a role, such as Hildy in On The Town, or reimagining a track like she did in Smokey Joe’s Cafe. Alysha shares her love story with her husband Cody Williams, as well as dishes on her four times bartending on  “Watch What Happens Live.” These three discuss “The Traitors,” “Vanderpump Rules,” and “You” in this funny and fantastic chat. Check out Alysha’s upcoming concert appearances below!
