GODSPELL to Launch Cast 'Talk Back' Series Beginning 1/17

Producer Ken Davenport is pleased to launch a new 11-week post-show talkback series at Broadway's hit new revival of Stephen Schwartz's legendary rock musical GODSPELL. The new "Tuesday Night Talkbacks" series will commence immediately after the 7 p.m. performance on Tuesday, January 17.

"Each one of the ten stars of our show -- plus our four understudies -- are all monster talents," said Ken Davenport."We wanted to give our audiences and our fans a chance to meet each one of them face-to-face. I fully expect that this new series, hosted by the incredible Julie James of Sirius XM Radio, will continue to build the ever-growing fan bases of each one of our cast members, because they deserve it!"
