The Broadwaysted Podcast Celebrates Mothers with a Little Help from Hannah Elless
This week, "Everything's Coming Up Rosé...and Cabernet" as we toast our original fans: the #MomsOfTheShow. On this special Mother's Day episode we sit down with Jill Plofsky, Gail A. Cooper and, since she's in Florida, Jennifer Jaeger is being played by Broadwaysted Favorite Hannah Elless (#RecastWithHannahElless).
We chat with our mothers about the naked scene in HAIR, their theatrical experiences that led them to expose us to theater at a young age, and their favorite experiences seeing us in shows.
#WhatHaveYouSeenThisWeek is jammed packed with discussions about COME FROM AWAY, HELLO DOLLY, DEAR EVAN HANSEN, SWEENEY TODD, and Euan Morton in the tour of HEDWIG (and of course we talk about TABOO).
Game Master Kimberly leads us in a round of "Broadway Playlist" and Lights of Broadway Show Cards "Heads Up" and Gail shares her story about sitting next to Rosie O'Donnell at HAMILTON before we praise Rosie for her contributions to theater preservation and support with her daytime show. We're feeling the Motherly Love on Broadwaysted this week, so pour out something bubbly and join us as we toast our moms, moms everywhere...and Hannah Elless on this week's Broadwaysted!
