Broadwaysted Celebrates the Game Master's Wedding with Betrothed Broadway Stars Whitney Bashor & Jared Zirilli

It's finally here, folks. Game Master Kimberly's wedding to #EnemyoftheShow Jay Schmidt (yes, we now have our own red-headed Kimmy Schmidt!) was yesterday!

To celebrate the upcoming special day, the Broadwaysted Crew is chatting bout love with talented real-life Broadway couple Whitney Bashor and Jared Zirilli. It's an open bar for this "Wedding" themed episode as Whitney dishes about her experience with THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and Jared talks touring with WICKED and WE WILL ROCK YOU.

Then, with Bryan taking over as Game Master and Kevin as Score Keeper, Kimberly and Jay go head to head with Whitney and Jared in a Broadwaysted-style "Almost Newlywed Game." The evening ends with a game of "Plan The Wedding" using Lights of Broadway Show Cards as inspiration for everything from the location to the kind of cake. Oh, and somewhere in all this wedding episode it's Kevin's birthday. Who wins the Broadwaysted Almost Newlywed Game?

What does Jay remember Jared smelling like in college? And who thinks you should join us as we get Broadwaysted with Whitney Bashor and Jared Zirilli? I do! (See what I did there?) Okay just listen to the episode--we've got to get Kimberly to the Church on time!
