Suzy Nakamura

Hey hot children in the city! We’re back for a surprise July episode with actor Suzy Nakamura. You Might Know Her From Dead to Me, Avenue 5, Dr. Ken, Dead to Me, Snowfall, Afternoon Delight, Funny People, Strawberry Fields, and the new Broadway show, POTUS. We had our first in-person interview since March 2020 with Suzy right before a performance of her new Broadway farce where she’s playing, wait for it, gay. Hoorah! Suzy gave us the scoop on the physical therapy perks of the very physical comedy and why she chose it as her Broadway debut. We also talked about playing the “straight man” to Ken Jeong, improvising with Christina Applegate, working with the Christopher Guest crew, and so much more. Blot your brow and join us, m’dears! This one is scorching!
