Thom and I started our chat by discussing how it's a real luxury for him to dive into the show with every new city.

I asked Thom if there was any particular audience moment that has stuck with him for this current tour.

Thom explained how the constant tweaking of the show allows for the character and actors to continue to grow and expand with each performance.

Finally, Thom gives a quality shout out to Texas!
