True Crime Obsessed will be the first podcast to play a Broadway theater.
This Monday, "True Crime Obsessed," the smash hit podcast will present a historic show at the Hayes Theater, marking the first time in history a podcast has performed live on Broadway.
Throughout the evening, Hinds and Pensavalle will be joined on stage by an ensemble of performers as well as their Broadway pal & Tony-Award Winner James Monroe Iglehart (Broadway’s “Aladdin,” “Hamilton”). The ensemble features Jake Corcoran, Colby Q. Lindeman, Michael Olaribigbe, Waldemar Quiñones-Villanueva, Adam Roberts, and Ryan Rodiño under the direction and choreography of Robert Bartley and Joshua Buscher.
At the event Patrick Hinds and Gillian Pensavalle will recap NBC's Dateline Episode "Killer Role." An actress playing a killer in a horror film is so good, you'd almost think she'd done it in real life. Turns out she had. Keith Morrison takes you inside a story where fiction and reality collide.
"We are so unbelievably excited and honored to be bringing our show to Broadway. We're both theater kids at heart and we met because we were both making Broadway podcasts, so this is just a full circle dream come true! And to get to make a little history in the process by being Broadway's first podcast? We just couldn't be more excited about this," said "True Crime Obsessed" co-hosts Patrick Hinds and Gillian Pensavalle.
No stranger to Broadway, Hinds and Pensavalle's podcast careers first originated in the theatrical space. Hinds previously served as host of the popular "Theater People" podcast, a show featuring full-length interviews with Tony winners, Broadway legends, and today's brightest theater stars. He also launched successful podcasts "Broadway Backstory" as well as "The Official Disney on Broadway Podcast." Pensavalle is the creator and host of "Hamilcast: A Hamilton Podcast," the official podcast of the smash hit musical.
This one-night-only performance is currently sold out. The Hayes Theater is located at 240 W. 44th Street, New York City.
