By: Backstage With Richard Ridge Apr. 15, 2021
Seeing your favorite Broadway stars live on a Broadway stage may not be a reality for a while, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them live from your screen. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge is keeping up with all of their latest projects on Backstage Live, bringing you in-depth interviews twice weekly.
Watch as he chats with one of Broadway's favorite couples, Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus, who will soon join Seth Rudetsky for two very special concerts on Sunday, April 18 (3pm and 8pm).
"Theatre and music is what started this relationship and theatre and music is what has gotten us through these dark and empty times," said Stephanie. "To know that we can celebrate each other, celebrate our art and our craft, and celebrate it with our community and with Seth...it feels like a delicious drink of water."
"And there's something about doing it with your person... it becomes something else," added Sebastian. "Not just organically, inherently, because of our relationship, but it is what it is. You're together and you can just breathe life into it as we do every day."
