One of Broadway's greatest leading men, Ron Husmann, joins Rob and Kevin in a telephone discussion about his incredible Broadway career that started with FIORELLO and was a whirlwind of big shows, big stars, and big hurdles.
As Ron became a much sought-after leading man, his resume began to add such credits as TENDERLOIN, ALL AMERICAN, ON THE TOWN, etc. But, just as Ron's talents were at its zenith, he soon began to lose the power of speech.
After many years, Ron vividly recalls the triumphs and tragedies that led to him to regain the power of speech.
Ron pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how advancements in medicines gave him back the power of speech, what was the first day of rehearsal like for the assumed to flop FIORELLO, and why Debbie Reynolds was a creature of the stage.
Also, Ron shines the spotlight on Hal Prince, Ray Bolger, and Frank Loesser.
