Broadway Radio

Get a hobby. Really.

December 6, 2005

I am often lambasted for my love of showtunes.  How can anyone want to listen to cast recordings as much as I do?  Aren’t there more important things in life? The short answer to that question is a measured "maybe".  But I have recently learned that there are people out there whose of showtunes has achieved pathetic [...]

Showtune evangelist

November 16, 2005

They started out by playing a bit of me singing Tick, tick…BOOM! in the shower, and then there was 15 minutes of semi-serious discussion on the topic of musical theatre.  I had an excellent time on Ottawa Morning today, even though I was asked to identify three songs based on clips they played and I [...]

My radio will be on the radio

November 14, 2005

It’s more or less official: I will be interviewed on CBC’s Ottawa Morning radio show this Wednesday, November 16, at about 8:12 AM (right after the news).  I’m sure that I could still be bumped if, say, anything of any importance whatsoever happens anywhere in the world between now and then. The topic will be [...]

Rooted out by the CBC for my unholy love of showtunes

November 3, 2005

I stopped by my agent’s place this morning, to pick up a headshot to take to this evening’s NAC English Theatre general audition.  While I was there I was told that someone from the CBC had called and was trying to get hold of me.  Since it came through my agent, what was it about – an [...]

Budget cuts for better radio

May 19, 2005

The monthly billing cycle for BroadwayWorld Radio has come around once again again, and I have found it difficult, once again, to figure out how I can justify spending so much of my limited income on it.  Since I’ve been giving so much more attention to the station already this week, and because I value [...]

New radio injection

May 18, 2005

One of the most depressing aspects of my self-employment status has been the overall neglect of BroadwayWorld Radio.  Having so little extra cash – NO extra cash, actually – has made it impossible to pick up new recordings for the station.  I’ve been trying to work out deals with record labels so that they’ll send [...]

Listen to Liza tonight

March 15, 2005

Who’d have thought that my little radio station, started out of my house in 2001, would now be hosting a fabulous interview with Liza Minnelli?  If you’re a fan, you can’t miss it: the interview (which features cameo appearances by Tony Danza, Carol Burnett, and more) runs on BroadwayWorld Radio tonight and Friday night at [...]

Pinch me!

May 24, 2004

I’m still not sure last night actually happened. The entire day is something of a blur. I met Jenne and Steve at their Chelsea condo at about noon. We caught up for a bit and then ate lunch at FoodBar – a café I did not deserve to be in because I am not a [...]

Princess of Monaco

May 23, 2004

Today I take a break from stressing out over The Last 5 Years (if you know how to get hold of our technician so we can get into the theatre on Monday, let me know.) to take a 24-hour trip to New York. BroadwayWorld.com is presenting a benefit concert tonight, and as the ersatz radio [...]

Avenue Q rocks

January 29, 2004

Here’s another first for BroadwayWorld Radio: we’ve maxxed out! Tonight we broadcast Seth’s Broadway Chatterbox; this week’s show features him interviewing the creators of the hit new musical, Avenue Q. Interest in the show was incredible — so high that we ran out of available listening ports. This is definitely a record — and hopefully [...]
