'Broadwaysted' Welcomes KINKY BOOTS and CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY's Kyle Taylor Parker Grab your headphones and heels because this week, we're talking cabbage with KINKY BOOTS and CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY star Kyle Taylor Parker (or KTP as Kyle superfan and #MomOfTheShow Gail Cooper calls him!)

We're pouring out Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey into special THE VIEW UPSTAIRS tumblers while Kyle spills about his recent successful solo show debut at The Green Room 42 (Spoiler Alert: Catch him there monthly now!) and the many different locations he's donned the heels and hair as Lola in KINKY BOOTS.

Kimberly talks about her second time to ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, Kyle comes to terms with his fascination with being in shows with factories, and we discover a new motto: No one should leave home without an eyebrow stencil. Kyle even shares how hilarious or surprising stage mishaps can sometimes create unforgettable theatre magic. Game Master Kimberly challenges us with Plot Points (featuring Classic Movies and 11 O'Clock Numbers), A Famous Father/Son Challenge, and "The Musical Factory" with Lights of Broadway Show Cards.

And if that weren't enough, Kyle also shares "Stage Door Stories," visits Kevin's Corner, and spreads some serious Philly love--so basically this episode has everything needed to "Raise You Up/Just Be." So listen in and enjoy as KTP gets B-R-O-A-D-W...oh, you get it. Cheers!
