I’m loving your interview with Kevin Winkler about Bette Midler. It is bringing back some great memories of her performances.
David’s insight is both revealing and inspiring as he shows us, through it’s history, the power of Musical Theater. A complete masterclass to understanding the history of the Broadway musical and utterly necessary as we in the industry ask ourselves “what’s next?!”
