Broadwaysted Welcomes Actor and Broadway Up Close Founder Tim Dolan This week the Broadwaysted Crew is pouring out laughs and Maker's Mark with Tim Dolan, the hilarious and knowledgeable actor/entrepreneur behind Broadway Up Close Tours.

Kevin and Bryan recently got a chance to see the Theatre District in a SPOOK-tacular way: on BUC's "Ghostlight Tour: Haunted Broadway" featuring Tour Guide Tim himself! On this episode, Tim spills to us about his time in ALTAR BOYZ, shares some hilarious things people have asked on a tour, and sheds light on the way he developed a creative passion project into a successful business.

Tim even shares about how his close proximity to "The Room Where It (Originally) Happened" inspired him to create a truly immersive and unique Hamiltour! Kimberly (who did not get to go on the tour) introduces a new game aptly titled "Kimberly's Upset She Didn't Get To Go On The Ghost Tour So She's Going to Get You Drunk Now." We play "Dirty Hands on a Hardbody," we give fake tours based on Lights of Broadway Show Cards ("Let it Tour! Let it Tour! Let it Tour!)...oh, and somehow Kimberly gets us talking about figure skating. We had a blast with new #FriendOfTheShow Tim Dolan so listen in and don't forget to tweet at us when you take one of the amazing Broadway Up Close Tours!
