  <p>He showed up to watch.</p><p>9:28 AM. Carroll’s Rehearsal Studios. The Tina Turner Broadway show is about to start.</p><p>Jared’s a college student at NYU. He’s not there to play. He’s there to observe — to see how a real Broadway drummer handles a real Broadway rehearsal. He’s looking at the chart on the stand. Not touching anything. Just studying.</p><p>9:30 hits.</p><p>The drummer isn’t there.</p><p>Contractor John Miller scans the room. Lands on Jared.</p><p>“All right, Jared. Sit down. You’re on.”</p><p>He sat down. Black...

  Morgan Parker | Drummer, A Beautiful Noise Tour (Podcast Episode 105 VIDEO)

  May 22, 202655 minS0

And the way she talks about this industry is the kind of honest I don’t always get on this podcast.</p><p>We got into some really cool things:</p><p>— What she does a...

Grew up in a small town in Kansas with no real map for any of this. Found her way to NYU, subbed MJ and Yiddish Fiddler simultaneously, and landed a tour that’s run nearly two years.</p><p>Her path is not the one anybody draws up. And the way she talks about trust, subbing, ego, and what actually gets you hired — it’s the kind of honesty you don’t hear enough o...
