I’ve been a fan of anything Playbill since as long as I can remember, and in a world where anybody and anyone can have a podcast, it’s nice to feel like we have something “official” and put out by a hallmark of the Broadway community. Bravo! I look forward to many more episodes.
I remember my mother taking her four children on the bus to see the shows at the Muny. We brought a picnic. Sat in the free seats and loved every minute. Because of this joyous activity, I’m now a casting director. The Muny. Listen to that episode. It’s wonderful
The guests on this show are always amazing and it really helps me keep up with everything Broadway and is always so fun to listen! ❤️
