    episode 13 | marissa jaret winokur
    Apr 3 2026
    About This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz sits down with Marissa Jaret Winokur — and I mean… icon behavior only. You know her as the Tony Award–winning Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, the literal first winner of Celebrity Big Brother, and a TV/film queen who has somehow stayed booked, busy, and fully herself through every era of this industry. Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is exactly what you want it to be — unfiltered, nostalgic, a little spicy, and very “wait… they used to ask WHAT in interviews??” Marissa gets real about what it was like coming up during Hairspray when the conversation around body image was… not it. We’re talking interview questions about being plus size and “confident” that would absolutely not fly today — and how she navigated that while still becoming one of the most beloved Broadway leads ever. We also get into how much the industry has (and hasn’t) changed, what it means to own your narrative, and why she’s still out here doing what she loves — including touring with Mamma I’m a Big Girl Now and bringing that same Tracy Turnblad energy to a whole new chapter. We talk:• How Hairspray changed Broadway… and how Broadway still has catching up to do• Winning Celebrity Big Brother and what reality TV actually teaches you about yourself• Owning your confidence when the world is trying to define it for you• Staying relevant, resilient, and fully YOU in an industry that loves to put people in boxes This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day. If you’ve ever questioned where you fit, been told who you’re supposed to be, or just want to hear from a woman who’s been breaking the mold since day one — this one’s for you.

    episode 12 | kandi burruss
    Mar 27 2026
    About This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz sits down with Kandi Burruss — and yeah… she’s done everything. You know her from The Real Housewives of Atlanta (icon behavior), but that’s just one chapter. She’s a Grammy-winning artist, Broadway actress most recently seen in & Juliet, and now a FIVE-time Broadway producer with Joe Turner’s Come and Gone coming next. Casual. Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is exactly what you want it to be — unfiltered, wildly honest, and full “how is she doing all of this?” energy. Kandi gets into what Housewives really taught her (hint: business moves > drama), what it’s like watching her daughter step into the spotlight on Next Gen, and how she’s built an empire that somehow spans music, TV, Broadway, and beyond… without losing her mind. We also get into balance — or whatever version of it actually exists when you’re booked, busy, and producing Broadway shows — plus trusting your instincts, staying ten steps ahead, and knowing when to pivot versus when to double down. We talk: • What she actually learned from Housewives — and how it made her sharper in business• Watching her daughter step into her own spotlight (and what that feels like as a mom)• Going from reality TV to Broadway — and why she never boxes herself in• Producing on Broadway and stepping into legacy with August Wilson• Building an empire while still showing up fully in every lane If you’ve ever wondered how to do it all — or at least make it look like you are — this one’s your blueprint.

    episode 11 | kelsie watts
    Mar 20 2026
    About This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz sits down with Kelsie Watts — vocalist, internet obsession, and your new Broadway fixation. You probably first saw her on The Voice turning chairs on Team Kelly Clarkson… and then suddenly she’s all over your TikTok absolutely demolishing vocals like it’s a personality trait. Fast forward: she just wrapped her run in Six (casual) and is now stepping into Satine in Moulin Rouge! The Musical — aka one of the hottest, hardest, most iconic roles on Broadway — to close out the show. No big deal. Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is unhinged in the best way — we’re talking career pivots, main character energy, and what it actually feels like when your “one day” starts happening in real time. Kelsie gets into the jump from reality TV to Broadway, building a fanbase online while still grinding in the theatre world, and the pressure of stepping into roles people are VERY protective over (hi, Satine). We also get into trusting your gut, handling rejection without spiraling (or… with a little spiraling), and what it looks like when talent actually meets timing. We talk: • From Team Kelly to TikTok virality — and what happens after the cameras stop rolling• Finishing Six and why that experience hits different than you’d expect• Becoming Satine in Moulin Rouge! and stepping into a role everyone has opinions about• Trusting yourself and leaning into who you are — and how that can take you all the way to the top (hi, million followers)• Rejection, delusion (the healthy kind), and knowing your moment is coming If you’ve ever thought “wait… is this my moment?” — it probably is. Start acting like it. This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day. Follow @oddwomanshowFollow @SammyTutz Learn more about your ad choices.

Basically: if you love Broadway, you love Kerry Butler.

We also talk about the reality of longevity in theatre, raising a family while living the Broadway life, and why resilience (and a good sense of humor) might be the real secret to staying booked. We talk: • The wild ride of originating roles that become Broadway staples — and the pressure that comes with creating characters the world falls in love with• Our mutual love of Gilmore Girls and how Kerry manifested ending up in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life• The cult phenomenon of Bat Boy: The Musical and the roller-skating chaos that was Xanadu• The art of making iconic roles your own while still honoring what audiences love• Career longevity, motherhood, and how you stay passionate about the stage after decades in the business This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day.
