Broadwaysted, the popular and hilarious theatre podcast, is proud to announce the World Premiere of Broadwaysted Away, a new and original three-part 'radio play' featuring an all-star cast. Written and edited by Kevin Jaeger with additional puns by Bryan Plofsky, Broadwaysted Away will be released as three consecutive weekly episodes of Broadwaysted free on iTunes. Part One of Broadwaysted Away premieres Tuesday, August 15th.

It's finally here, folks. Game Master Kimberly's wedding to #EnemyoftheShow Jay Schmidt (yes, we now have our own red-headed Kimmy Schmidt!) was yesterday! To celebrate the upcoming special day, the Broadwaysted Crew is chatting bout love with talented real-life Broadway couple Whitney Bashor and Jared Zirilli. It's an open bar for this 'Wedding' themed episode as Whitney dishes about her experience with THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and Jared talks touring with WICKED and WE WILL ROCK YOU.

Extra, Extra--this week, the Broadwaysted crew sits down with our favorite broom lover, Broadway's Brendon Stimson! We're pouring out varietals of whiskey and gIn as Brendon tells us about the beginning of his romance with the broom as 'Sweeps' in NEWSIES.

We're breaking out the Mulled Cider and the Winter Sangria--okay, the full bar is out this week for a very special Holiday Episode recorded live at the Broadwaysted Holiday Party! Kimberly added 'Official Hostess' to her list of job titles this week as she opened her home to us and all of our #FriendsOfTheShow! We have a blast playing games and discussing favorite holiday memories with Lacretta, Max Crumm, Andrew Kober, Haley Podschun, Brendon Stimson, Robbie Rozelle, Squigs, Brian Charles Johnson, Stephany Mora, Emily Marshall, and #EnemyOfTheShow Jay Schmidt (who happens to live where we had the party #FianceOfTheGameMaster.)

This week the Broadwaysted crew is painting the town all the colors with theatrical caricature artist and actor Justin 'Squigs' Robertson. #EnemyoftheShow (and Kimberly's fiance) Jay Schmidt again fills in for Kevin who's still in Chicago for the run of his musical 'Daphne's Sunset' as the group pours out some beer and wine and lots of laughs. Squigs shares the origin of his nickname, his love of 'High Spirits,' and his process of immortalizing a show in a drawing.

This week the Broadwaysted Crew is clicking our heels in excitement to be sitting down with DAMES AT SEA and THE RADIO CITY NEW YORK SPECTACULAR star hoofer, Danny Gardner. While Kevin is still in Chicago for his musical, the crew welcomes #EnemyOfTheShow (and Kimberly's fiancee) actor and comedian Jay Schmidt to the panel!

Gearing up for the upcoming season, we decided the Broadwaysted Crew needed some team bonding--so we grabbed our beverages of choice and saddled up to the mics for an episode flying solo!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, your head is throbbing-must be that magical time of the year: the afterglow of Tony Sunday.  After live-tweeting our drinking games and general shenanigans throughout the entire Tony Broadcast with actor and comedian Jay Schmidt, we poured out a few "last rounds" and recorded this SPECIAL POST-TONY EPISODE.  In addition to all of our reactions and vague recollections, we talk about how Jay is making Kimberly the #RealKimmieSchmidt and we choose our ultimate "Next Round's On Us" from Tonys 2016.  As the countdown to Tonys 2017 begins, relive the magic of theatre's biggest night and get Broadwaysted!
