About this episode

Ariana DeBose joins Kyle MacLachlan to discuss her experiences as a performer and the challenges of her career.

Oscar-winning actor, singer, dancer & Broadway powerhouse Ariana DeBose syncs up with Kyle to discuss surviving the grind of eight shows a week, growing up as a dance kid,  fighting the Revolutionary War onstage and how therapy fits into the life of a performer. After riffing on why she doesn’t do small talk, the responsibility that comes with winning an Oscar and the joy of messy people, Ariana and Kyle play a game where they channel wedding singers, flight attendants, and of course, Disney princesses.  Tune in every Wednesday for new episodes of What Are We Even Doing?     Executive Producers: iHeart Media, Elvis Duran Podcast Network & Full Picture Productions  Executive Produced for Full Picture Productions by Desiree Gruber & Anne Walls Gordon Produced by Ben Fingeret, Nora Faber & Maia Mizrahi Editing by Mikey Harmon & Nicholas Giuricich  Research by Kimberly Walls  Music by Yatta Art by Danica Robinson Additional GFX by Chris Olfers/The Southern Influence Styling by Dot Bass Follow us on socials!  Instagram: @wawedwithkyle TikTok: @wawedwithkyle YouTube: @kyle_MacLachlan See omnystudio.com/listener for…
