SpongeBob SquarePantsThis week, the Broadwaysted Crew is having the "Best Day Ever" with Wesley Taylor, one of the stars of SpongeBob SquarePants!

We're pouring out a few rounds of Hudson Manhattan Rye and sharing a lot of laughs as Wesley gushes about working with Tina Landau and how the role of Plankton was "Taylor-Made."

Wesley shares some "Stage Door Stories," we talk about his strange affinity for Pineapple Musicals, and then "What Have You Seen This Week" finds us raving about THE BAND'S VISIT and the revival of MISS SAIGON. Game Master Kimberly tests our memories with a 90s Cartoon Quiz and brings back an old favorite Lights of Broadway Show Cards Game, "Pick a Little, Talk a Little" before Kevin takes Wesley down the rabbit hole with his questions in "Kevin's Corner." We also decide the world needs a revival of FLOYD COLLINS starring Wesley and a Feinstein's/54 Below Show where Wesley appears as his SMASH character Bobby.

This episode also includes some teasers about exciting up-and-coming events! This weekend, Broadwaysted will be appearing at BroadwayCon where we'll be recording a Live Episode with the incredible Sierra Boggess and hosting a panel on Stage Door Stories with amazing #FriendsOfTheShow James Monroe Iglehart, Alexandra Silber, and Hayley Podschun. We also know you know how much we love Carol Channing, so don't miss out on Richard Skipper Celebrates Carol Channing's 97th Birthday on January 31st, 2018 at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.

We're wild about Wesley, so listen in and enjoy and we'll see you at BroadwayCon!
