The Broadwaysted Podcast Welcomes Broadway Actress and Author Leslie Becker and Broadway Kids

This week, the Bros of Broadwaysted are flying without Game Master Kimberly as we sit down with the talented and lovely Leslie Becker.

We're drinking out of flasks and minibar bottles and snacking on Baked by Melissa cupcakes as we chat about Leslie's career onstage, in the recording studio, as a songwriter and a published author.

We rave about the importance of the work of Rodgers & Hammerstein, compare our favorite zoo animals, and randomly make up "Congo: The Musical." #WhatHaveYouSeenThisWeek finds us praising COME FROM AWAY and PRESENT LAUGHTER and chatting about Leslie's musical, A PROPER PLACE, playing now in the Pacific Northwest.

Substitute Game Master Kevin introduces three games (calm down, Kevin) including "Slow Burn..me a CD," "Adult Contemporary Musical Theatre," and "Head to Heads Up with Lights of Broadway Show Cards. #FriendOfTheShow Leslie is even sweeter than the cupcakes (#thosecupcakestho) so listen in and join us as we get Broadwaysted!

BONUS: After the episode is the final part of our libations and laughs with Broadway Bound Kids Founder Erin Glass, Executive Director Jessica Diaz, and actor Karl Kenzler (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF). The Broadwaysted Crew are competing against each other to raise more money for the 2nd Annual Broadway Bee (Kevin's for Bhavesh Patel, Kimberly's for Karl Kenzler, and Bryan's for Evan Todd) so check out www.crowdrise.com/The2ndAnnualBroadwayBee and click on the actor to find Kevin, Kimberly, and Bryan's teams and support us and a great cause! #TeamBryan #TeamKevin #TeamKimberly
