BroadwayWorld has been running the very popular Seth's Broadway Chatterbox on its radio station for several years and now, in 2010, BroadwayWorld.com and Seth's Broadway Chatterbox have teamed up again to not only bring you the show via the radio station - but now with full length videos - right here on the site!

Seth's Broadway Chatterbox is a one hour weekly talk show hosted by Seth Rudetsky, and includes interviews and performances by noted Broadway celebrities. The show takes to the stage Thursday evenings @ 6 PM at Don't Tell Mama (343 West 46th St. in New York City, between 8th & 9th Avenues).

Previously, before the holidays, to kick things off before the "official" launch, we brought you Rudetsky's interview with Brent Barrett, currently starring in CHICAGO. Watch the life broadcast here!

After a holiday hiatus, Seth's Chatterbox returns with a celebration of the Forbidden Broadway book with the show's composer Gerard Alessadrini and stage star Nora Mae Lyng, the show's original cast member.

This journey through the creation and history of Forbidden Broadway offers an inside glimpse at the evolution of the show in its 20 incarnations to date, with parodies, hilarious lyrics and behind-the-scenes stories.
