'Broadwaysted' Welcomes Broadway Legend Liz Callaway

This week on Broadwaysted, we're thrilled to be welcoming the Godfather of the Broadway Mix Belt, the hilarious and incredible Liz Callaway!

We're pouring out white wine and Maker's Mark while Liz spills about her passionate love of the Mets, singing back-up vocals on "The Nanny" theme song, and her amazing career working with many of the masters of Musical Theatre.

"What Have You Seen This Week" finds us raving about Lincoln Center's My Fair Lady and Roundabout's Travesties and getting into an in-depth discussion about when is the right time to read reviews. Liz chats about her wild Miss Saigon experience (complete with helicopter omen), her fascination with animated characters not breathing when they sing, and the importance of auditioning with your own voice.

Game Master Kimberly leads us through two new games: "Buzz Words" with classic lyrics and "The Story Goes On" with Lights of Broadway Show Cards. Along the way we also talk about Sondheim's Act Twos, Liz shares a hilarious Stage Door Story, and then Liz stops by Kevin's Corner for some delightfully convoluted questions.

We have a blast with new #FriendoftheShow Liz Callaway so grab a glass and join us as we get Broadwaysted!

This episode also contains a fun "Off-Broadwaysted" segment featuring the New Wave Theater Collective's production of the new play "The Angel of Allegheny County" by Alec Silberblatt.

Kevin chats with the playwright as well as director Daniella Caggiano and producers Jenny Hickman and Sarah Wolff about this new play and the importance of roles where women can be "nasty" and "gross." The show plays April 24-29th at The Bridge Theater at Shelter Studios so check it out!
