On this episode of Stay Hydrated, we are honoured to have the five-time Tony Award nominee (and one-time winner!), star of stage and screen, and the internet's favourite Melania Trump impressionist, it's Laura Benanti!

From starring in Broadway classics including Gypsy, She Loves Me and My Fair Lady to scene-stealing appearances on television in Younger, Supergirl and The Gilded Age, Laura has built an extraordinary career on stage and screen. She's a 5 time Tony Award nominee (and one time winner) as well as a multi-Outer Critics Circle Award winner.

Chris, Lizzie and Laura talk about getting lost in translation with an Uber driver, devising the ultimate Melania Trump jukebox musical (Ashlee Simpson's "Shadow" and a full Britney Spears back catalogue included) and the trials of playing Maria in The Sound of Music opposite a 70-year-old Captain Von Trapp.

They also get deep into 90s nostalgia, from teenage haircuts to the ultimate 90s sitcom draft (My So-Called Life, Little Women and Sabrina the Teenage Witch all make the cut) plus subway door etiquette, bagel orders, and some choice thoughts on the current state of American politics.
