Podcast Overview

Odd Woman Out provides a space where women in the arts can reclaim their narratives and have fun while doing so! Hosted by Samantha Dawn Tuozzolo — affectionately known as “Tutz”— the show shines a light on the subtle and not-so-subtle ways women have been made to feel “othered” when being their odd selves. Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in their everyday creative lives. Through honest conversations and unfiltered storytelling, Tutz and her guests open up about insecurities, resilience, and the power of showing up as their full selves. Each episode dismantles the pressures of appearance, judgment, and comparison that too often overshadow women’s achievements. From self-doubt to self-love, these discussions go beyond surface-level success to reveal the courage, creativity, and community that thrive when women support one another. Odd Woman Out is for embracing our odd and loving ourselves while doing so. It’s for women who know the struggle of standing in spaces not built for them and for those ready to rewrite the rules. If this podcast helps even one woman feel seen, validated, and a little more in love with herself — it’s doing exactly what it was created to do!

episode 19 | qween jean

About This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz sits down with the incredible Qween Jean — costume designer, activist, community leader, and now Tony Award winner. At the time of this recording, Qween Jean was a double Tony nominee for her costume design work on both Cats: The Jellicle Ball and Liberation, two productions that couldn't be more different but perfectly showcase her creativity, vision, and artistry. And since this conversation was recorded? Qween Jean went on to win the Tony Award for Best Costume Design of a Musical for Cats: The Jellicle Ball. Casual. Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is equal parts inspiring, hilarious, unfiltered, and the kind of conversation that makes you want to stop apologizing for taking up space. Beyond her work on Broadway, Qween Jean is the founder of Black Trans Liberation and Black Trans Liberation Kitchen, organizations dedicated to supporting and uplifting Black trans communities through advocacy, mutual aid, and direct action. But what makes this conversation so special isn't just the résumé — it's hearing how Qween Jean has built a life and career rooted in purpose, community, and refusing to wait for permission. We talk about why activism matters, what it means to advocate for yourself when the world isn't always built for you, and how Qween Jean turned passion, creativity, and determination into a career that's changing Broadway and beyond. Qween Jean opens up about navigating the industry as a Black trans artist, finding confidence in her voice, trusting her instincts, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them to show up. It's honest, empowering, and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is show up exactly as yourself. We talk: • Being a double Tony nominee for Cats: The Jellicle Ball and Liberation • Why activism and artistry go hand in hand • Founding Black Trans Liberation and Black Trans Liberation Kitchen • Advocating for yourself and taking up space unapologetically • Building community and creating opportunities for others • Navigating Broadway as a Black trans artist • Representation, visibility, and why they matter • Trusting yourself when no one else sees the vision yet • Her journey to becoming the artist, activist, and leader she is today This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day. If you've ever felt underestimated, overlooked, or like you had to create your own seat at the table, this one's for you. Follow @oddwomanshow Follow @SammyTutz Learn more about your ad choices.

episode 18 | hannah cruz, tony edition

This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz welcomes back Broadway powerhouse Hannah Cruz for a special Tony nominee edition of the podcast — and yes, dreams are very much coming true. Fresh off her Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Svetlana in Chess, Hannah stops by to talk all things Tony season, stepping into one of musical theatre's most iconic roles, and what it's like when the thing you've worked your entire life for suddenly becomes reality. Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is funny, heartfelt, chaotic in the best way, and a little bit unhinged — especially when we discover that Hannah's cat may actually be giving full method-acting-Svetlana energy at home. We get into what it feels like to navigate Tony season as an "odd woman out," the pressure and excitement of carrying a beloved character, and the surreal experience of seeing years of hard work culminate in a Tony nomination. We talk: • Receiving her first Tony Award nomination for Chess • Bringing Svetlana to life and preparing for the role • The reality of navigating Tony season • What it feels like when lifelong dreams start coming true • Finding confidence while feeling like the odd woman out • The emotional journey behind this career milestone • Why Hannah's cat may secretly be preparing for a role in Chess This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day. If you've ever chased a dream that felt impossibly far away, this one's for you. Follow @oddwomanshow Follow @SammyTutz Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

episode 17 | tony nominated ladies of liberation

This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz sits down with the powerhouse Tony-nominated women behind Liberation — Betsy Aidem, Bess Wohl, Rachel Sussman, Susannah Flood, and Whitney White — for a conversation that is funny, honest, emotional, empowering, and very “what actually happens when women lead the room?” Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode dives into the heart of what Liberation means to each of them, the realities women still face during awards season and within the industry at large, and why collaborating with other women on a piece like this feels both healing and revolutionary. We talk all things Tony Awards, the experience of bringing a female-driven story to Broadway, and the pressure, joy, and vulnerability that comes with creating art that truly says something. We get into: • What Liberation means to each of them personally • Navigating Broadway and awards season as women in the industry • The differences women still face compared to men in theatre spaces • Why collaboration between women can be so powerful • The emotional journey of bringing Liberation to Broadway • The excitement, chaos, and surreal energy surrounding the Tony Awards • Finding your voice while lifting up other women in the process This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com — the billboard where you can be a star for a day. If you love Broadway, powerful women, honest conversations, and hearing what really happens behind the curtain… this one’s for you.
