by The Marriage Matinee - May 15, 2022
We always have such fun with our Broadway interviews, but it is a special treat to get some backstage, behind-closed-doors insight into the inner workings of Broadway Across America. We had just such an opportunity when we spoke with Leslie Broecker, President of Broadway Across America Midwest. She offered us a fresh perspective on this season’s selections and where she sees Broadway going in a (hopefully) post-pandemic world.

BWW Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Murat Theatre
by Melissa Hall - April 27, 2022
High school is a different world from what many of us experienced growing up.
