Let’s say Andrew were to make a studio album with some of his favorite songs. Mainly Broadway, but could be anything. Similar to his Live from Lincoln Center.

Which 3 songs would you want to be on the album?

I’ll go first

The Wizard and I from Wicked

Maria from West Side Story

Vienna by Billy Joel

thoughts on the Gutenberg cast recording?:)

Anytime I get to hear a studio recording of Andrew’s voice, I��m happy!

It’s a show with a lot of physical comedy, which you obviously miss out on from listening to the cast recording. But then you have all the crazy accents and the fun lyrics.

I listened through it once, and so far I think that’s how it works best. But that might just be because I don’t know the different numbers that well. In time, I see myself likely listening to some of the numbers in random order like I’d do with any other album or cast recording.

Side note: I’m kind of looking more forward to the Tammy Faye cast recording we’re hopefully getting at some point. Some of those songs were actual bops and need to be released in studio quality.

Andrew is absolutely fantastic in Tammy Faye. I sure have missed hearing him sing live.

ABOUT UNCLE OF THE YEAR

Candid, hilarious essays from the star of The Book of Mormon, Girls, and Big Mouth on anxiety, ambition, and the uncertain path to adulthood, which ask, how will we know when we get there?

In Uncle of the Year, Andrew Rannells wonders: If he, now in his early forties, has everything he’s supposed to need to be a true adult–a career, property, a well-tailored suit–why does he still feel like an anxious twenty-year-old climbing his way toward security? Is it because he hasn’t won a Tony, or found a husband, or had a child? And what if he doesn’t want those things? (A husband and a child, that is. He wants a Tony.)

In essays drawn from his life and career, Rannells argues that we all pretend we are constantly winning. And with each success, we act like we’ve reached the pinnacle of happiness (for our parents), maturity (for our friends), success (for our bosses), and devotion (for our partners). But if “adulting” is just a pantomime that’s leaving us unmoored, then we need new markers of time, new milestones, new expectations of what adulthood is–and can be.

Along the way, Rannells looks back, reevaluating whether his triumphs were actually failures–and his failures, triumphs–and exploring what it will take to ever, ever feel like he has enough. In essays like “Uncle of the Year,” he explores the role that children play in his life, as a man who never thought having kids was necessary or even possible—until his siblings have kids and he falls in love with a man with two of his own. “It’s an Honor to Be Eligible” reveals the thrills and absurdities of the awards circuit (and the desire to be recognized for your work). And in “Horses, Not Zebras,” he shares the piece of wisdom that helped him finally come to terms with crippling anxiety and perfectionism.

Filled with witty and honest insights, and a sharp sense of humor, Uncle of the Year challenges us to take a long look at who we’re pretending to be, who we know we are, and who we want to become.
