Bonus Episode #3: Stalling… stalling…. There are only three more songbook songs left! And the amazing singers who are scheduled to record them aren’t available for a spell, so it’s time for another bonus episode. This week, I took a little detour down memory lane and picked a song in …
Episode #17: Twice the talent, twice the laughs, twice as long! But when you’re in the room with Ruth Gottschall and Mary Testa, you just don’t want to leave! I had a fantastic afternoon with the two of them, chatting and websurfing and singing “Moving Right Along”, the women’s version. …
Episode #16: I’m gay and even I have a crush on Kelli O’Hara, the dreamy, creamy-voiced Broadway “Babe.” For the past six years, she has been accumulating street cred with her lovely performances in such Broadway and Off-Broadway shows as Jekyll & Hyde, Follies, Sweet Smell of Success, My Life …
Episode #15: Jenn Colella gives new meaning to the word “irresistible.” The second I laid eyes on her, I fell hard, and the love affair continues. I daresay that goes for anyone who’s ever met her. She is the most fun-loving, open-hearted, life-affirming person working in the theatre, not to …
Episode #14: Well, it was only a matter of time before I dragged my friend Emily Skinner onto this podcast. Emily has all my favorite actor-ingredients: a boundless and beautiful voice, a major sense of humor, fearlessness, creativity, intelligence, and above all, a ton of heart. She’s given some of …
Episode #13: Howdy! I’m so excited to be reunited with the great Sally Mayes on this week’s episode. It was Sally who gave birth to my first Broadway song-baby (Is that a horrible metaphor or what?) in the 2003 production of Urban Cowboy, the musical. Unfortunately, that score was never …
Bonus Episode #2: Yes, it’s another “very special episode” – a song… well, songs really… that are NOT in the songbook. None of my upcoming guest stars were available to record this week, so I’m taking this opportunity to tell you about a wonderful organization called Raw Impressions, which brings …
Clockwise from top left: Becca Ayers, Joe Cassidy, Jessica Grové, David Perlman Bonus Episode #2: Yes, it’s another “very special episode” – a song… well, songs really… that are NOT in the songbook. None of my upcoming guest stars were available to record this week, so I’m taking this opportunity …
Episode #12: It is impossible to ignore the sparkle that is Sutton Foster. If you’ve ever seen her onstage or heard her sing, you must be as dazzled and as charmed by her as I am. While her early-career Broadway resumé is impressive (Les Mis, Grease, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Annie), …
Bonus Episode #1: Becca’s back! I’ve made it a policy to avoid repeat guest appearances, but I had to make an exception for Rebecca Luker: a) because she was my first podcast guinea pig, back before I was able to separate the piano and the vocals, and I wanted to …
