&Juliet with Maya Boyd and Alison Luff

lundi 12 mai 2025 • Durée 31:59

What would happen next if Shakespeare's Juliet decided not to take her own life? The story told each night at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre is an answer to that question.

&Juliet came to Broadway in 2023 and has captivated the hearts of theatergoers with its infectious story and pop music hits, all produced by one person: Max Martin, the five-time Grammy Award winner who has worked with the likes of The Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, and more. Each of these artists, plus a host of others, has songs in the show that help tell the story of the continuation of the most famous romance in history.

As we do each episode, host Alex Birsh brings on members of the production: Maya Boyd, who plays Juliet, and Alison Luff, who plays the narrator of the show, Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's real wife's name....it's true). Before the interview, he brings on a theatre friend who will tell us why the show resonated with him so much, to the tune of seeing the show 11 times(!).

Oh, Mary! with Cole Escola and Sam Pinkleton

lundi 19 mai 2025 • Durée 49:36

Few shows on Broadway get to be considered a "breakout hit," but the original play Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre has officially hit the mainstream, hosting sold-out crowds and major celebrities like few other Broadway shows this season. Most surprising of all: it is a farce, a smash hit comedic play based on the mostly untrue story of Mary Todd Lincoln and her husband, former US President Abraham, during his final weeks. In this episode, host Alex Birsh brings on the creator and star of the show, Cole Escola, and the director, Sam Pinkleton, to discuss how this show came to be and what it's like bringing it to audiences every day.

Before the interview, Alex brings on the theatre friend of the episode, Logan Culwell-Block, to chat about why this show resonates with him so much.

00:23 - Sneak peek

02:47 - Interview with Logan

12:50 - Interview with Cole and Sam

Jeremy Jordan on Floyd Collins and his Tony nomination

mardi 27 mai 2025 • Durée 52:57

In the early 1990s, college students Adam Guettel and Tina Landau embarked on a wild idea: writing a musical based on the strange-but-true story of Floyd Collins, the Kentucky man who got stuck in a cave in 1925 trying to turn the cave into a tourist attraction. The topic was so intriguing because of what happened after he got stuck: the news story became one of the country's first "viral stories," reaching far and wide and creating such pandemonium that thousands would gather atop the entrance to the cave, hoping he would get rescued. After making it to an Off-Broadway theatre in 1996, the musical circled the Broadway industry for decades thanks to the clever concept by Landau and beautiful score by Adam Guettel, now a two-time Tony Award winner (and Landau is now a Tony-nominated director).

The musical has finally made it to Broadway and received six Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Jeremy Jordan, our guest for the episode. We talk about what it's like to be nominated again, his path to the show, and his thoughts on why Floyd represents the best of him. Before the interview, host Alex Birsh (Playbill's C.O.O.) brings on a theatre friend to go into why the show resonated with him so much.

01:47 - Interview with theatre friend Logan Culwell-Block
