The Broadwaysted Podcast Welcomes Broadway (M)oron Andrew Kober

This week Broadwaysted is thrilled to be sitting down with Andrew Kober, the talented actor from multiple exciting recent revivals- SHE LOVES ME, LES MISERABLES, and HAIR.

Also, since Kevin is laid up with the stomach flu, this week's episode features an extra special guest host: #bestfriendoftheshow and Broadway baby Hannah Elless (#RecastWithHannahElless)!

The group is drinking wine and Dewars as they chat about Andrew "marrying up" and his experiences being a part of the first Broadway musical live streamed on Broadway HD! Andrew talks about why Drew Gasparini, Alex Brightman, and F. Michael Haynie are responsible for his Wikipedia page listing his middle name as "Rebecca" and how he was always upstaged by Lorenzo the attractive man from the USPS.

Game Master Kimberly introduces a few new games, "Broadway Nursery Rhymes" and "Name That Tune," and then the group plays a few rounds of "Lights of Broadway Show Cards" Taboo. Andrew prepared for the by listening to multiple previous episodes of Broadwaysted so he knew the drill-and boy does he make sure to highlight National Treasure Carmen Cusack in the end! Find out how when you tune in and get Broadwaysted with us!

Andrew Kober's Bio:

Andrew Kober is a New York City based actor and singer, best known for the 2009 Tony Award Winning Revival of Hair, the original cast of the 2014 Revival of Les Miserables, and the celebrated Broadway revival of She Loves Me. Andrew attended the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama and got his first job in the First National Tour of William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin's hilarious musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. On returning to New York, Andrew began his three-year involvement with Hair, appearing in the concert version of the show as a part of Joe's Pub in the Park at the Delacorte Theater. The next summer, Hair was brought back for a full run at the Delacorte as part of the 2008 Shakespeare in the Park season. After twice extending the run in the park, it was announced that Hair would transfer to Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theater. Andrew debuted his solo show, Koberet, to a sold-out crowd at Joe's Pub in 2010. That same year, he made his West End debut in the London production of Hair. Since returning to New York, he's performed solo concert engagements at concert venues such as Feinstein's at Loews Regency, (le) Poisson Rouge, and 54 Below. In 2014, Andrew joined the original cast of the revival of Les Miserables and later appeared in the cast of She Loves Me. With his writing and performing partners, Alex Brightman, Drew Gasparini, and F. Michael Haynie, they are the (M)orons, writing and performing original music and comedy all over New York City.
