NEWSIES, KINKY BOOTS Star Adam Kaplan Visits the Broadwaysted Podcast

Guess what?! We're Baaaaaacckkk! After the four-part trilogy Broadwaysted Away (and our vacation! Heyyy!), the Broadwaysted Crew is back with a new classic-format episode!

This week we're pouring out Brooklyn Lager (and Kimberly's gin & tonic) with our newest #FriendoftheShow, the amazing Adam Kaplan! Adam spills about his early, unrehearsed Broadway debut covering Jack Kelly in NEWSIES, going on in the middle of the first Act, and his hilarious experiences throughout his career with the musical HAIRSPRAY.

In "What Have You Seen This Week?" Kimberly talks about seeing THE BOOK OF MORMON on Broadway and then we have a really in-depth debate about SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS. Adam shares a touching "Stage Door Story" from his time touring as Charlie in KINKY BOOTS and then our discussion of which Hogwarts House we belong in leads us to raving about PUFFS THE PLAY.

Game Master Kimberly outdoes herself with an EPIC new game based on a popular college drinking game that we call "Kings of New York" using Lights of Broadway Show Cards. We have a blast hanging out with Adam Kaplan and we're excited to be back with classic format episodes, so listen in as we bring back the Happiest Happy Hour on Broadway!
