On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with the three stars of the new musical adaptation of the iconic 1988 film “Mystic Pizza.” In the interview, he speaks with Krystina Alabado, Alaina Anderson, and Deánna Giulietti, who play Diasy, Kat, and JoJo respectively, the roles originated on screen by Julia Roberts, Annabeth Gish, and Lili Taylor.
In their chat, they discuss how important it is to tell a story about women in a show that boasts a creative team made up primarily of women. Deánna talks about growing up just an hour away from Mystic, Connecticut; Alaina — who has a degree in cognitive science from Yale — discusses playing another burgeoning scientist, and Krystina details the five-year process of developing the show.
