The 88th Annual Academy Awards telecast aired live coast-to-coast on Sunday, February 28th (8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT).

In this episode: guest Andre Ward talks about how there is nothing 'Rotten' about joining the Renaissance, how he's roller skated for Tina Fey and with Whoopi Goldberg and done the Disco of the Ages. He also shares how continuing to find his authenticity offstage will make a healthier and longer career onstage.

In this episode: Michael Goddard talks about his dreams of being in the 'tall man' track in a Susan Stroman show and how he got to achieve that dream on Broadway and a 1st National tour.

This interviews delves into the 'show' and the 'business'.

BroadwayWorld is excited to announce that we'll be bringing you new episodes of Broadway's Backbone- a podcast dedicated to the men and woman of the ensemble: the chorus of dancers, singers, and actors that are the foundation of every Broadway musical. These often-unsung gypsies are the hardest working people on the boards and are Broadway's backbone. Each episode features an interview with a Broadway vet, in which the speak about their life, career and dreams, and the topics that aren't always shared. The life of a gypsy maybe full of passion, but not always filled with glamour. Each guest shares intimate details about their journey. There is no mud slinging, but expect a little dirt.
