Ever wonder how a choir-loving kid who enjoys being a goofball transforms into a theater powerhouse and roller skates with Beyonce? Join Brett Cullum for a podcast exclusive with Mark Ivy, a cherished talent in the Houston theater scene and a local legend. From his humble beginnings inspired by "Little Shop of Horrors" to the thrill of donning Mr. Mushnik's apron, Mark takes us on a journey full of laughter, challenges, and theatrical magic. You'll hear about his adventures on stage, his real-life struggles with cooking and laundry, and his unexpected foray into a Beyoncé music video, turning the spotlight on the lively and ever-evolving world of Houston's theater community.

Get ready to experience the excitement of "Little Shop of Horrors" like never before with its Halloween-perfect run at Theatre Under the Stars on the biggest stage in town. Mark shares his thoughts on the distinct experience of transitioning roles within this iconic musical, embracing the quirks of Mr. Mushnik and the affectionate nickname "Mr. Daddy." We also explore the art of auditioning, the importance of nurturing local theater ties, and the opportunities that recorded auditions bring.

If you don't love Mark Ivy as much as we do after this interview, we may have to send you a carnivorous plant!
