Exclusive Podcast: Joel B. New Welcomes Designer, Director, Performer, and Bon Vivant, Robbie Rozelle

In Episode 509 of the Something New podcast, award-winning songwriter Joel B. New sat down with Robbie Rozelle, a writer, director, producer, designer, and performing making his solo show debut this coming Friday, June 9th at Feinstein's/54 Below.

After creating hit shows for Jessica Vosk, Melissa Errico, Kate Baldwin and Nikka Graff Lanzarone, writer/director Robbie Rozelle turns the tables on himself with his debut solo show, "Songs From My Locker". Wandering his high school hallways, Robbie would often find himself shoved in a locker for singing from THE RINK too loudly.

With his signature wit and style, Robbie grabs the tiger by the tail in a hilarious romp through the songs that got him through a blistering high school experience, a treasure trove of songs ranging from Kander & Ebb to CARRIE. Featuring special guests and a fantastic band, "Songs From Inside My Locker" is the balm to the chaos of these crazy times. Musical Direction & Arrangements by Josh D. Smith.
