  • Broadway 2 Main Street

    Imagine being transported every week from the Rocky Mountains in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, to the Great White Way in New York City. Even though I have never been to NYC, I have learned quite a lot about the history and passion of Broadway, its stars and shows!

    I truly enjoy B2MS. And I love sharing the program trivia with family and fellow theatre geeks. In fact, during the COVID pandemic, the archive of previous broadcasts brought me comfort at a challenging time. As a teacher, the occasional e... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steve Ross
Q: How do you find your songs?
Steve Ross mentions that he cherishes the lyrics and finds songs through his connection with words due to not initially having a big singing voice.
Al Hirschfeld
Q: How many Hirschfeld editions are in print now that people can get? You've done such a great job of bringing a lot of these illustrations between two covers and putting them out there.
There's quite a wealth of stuff, with notable books like The Hirschfeld Century and The American Theater as Seen by Hirschfeld being in print.
Al Hirschfeld
Q: David, one of the things he did so miraculously that keeps his legacy so alive is the way he dealt with dancers. What was his affinity to dance?
He loved movement and managed to capture it, making his illustrations vibrantly alive, which was impressive enough that animators study his work for this reason.
