All Hail the Queen! This week the Broadwaysted crew is holding court with the beautiful and fantastic Lesli Margherita! All Hail the Queen! This week the Broadwaysted crew is holding court with the beautiful and fantastic Lesli Margherita! We pour out some Maker's Mark and chat about Lesli's wild experience winning the Olivier Award for her West End debut as well as her current gig recreating her original turn in Matilda the Musical on Broadway. Lesli dishes about the ironic text message she got about Cats, her Star Wars wedding and ranking of the seven films in the franchise, and the time she died twice on stage (I smell a rat!). Kimberly recently attended Miss America and informs us all about the 'Show Us Your Shoes' parade and the entire group casts a fantasy version of Real Housewives of Broadway with famous wife characters. We play Lights of Broadway Show Cards 'Heads Up!' and Lesli shares her story about working on stage with artist and #FriendOfTheShow Squigs.

This week the Broadwaysted crew is thrilled to sit down with Brian Charles Johnson, original Broadway cast member of SPRING AWAKENING and AMERICAN IDIOT! The beer is flowing and the laughs keep coming as Brian discusses his love of Blue Apron, making his Broadway debut in a smash-hit with a young cast, and introduces the one and only BCJGF. Brian shares some of the craziest experiences having audience members on stage during the show and Kimberly admits to being a 19-year-old fan girl of Spring Awakening (with a stage door pic to prove it!) Game Master Kimberly then leads us through a drinking game version of 'Finish the Lyric' and an epic round of Lights of Broadway Showcards Against Humanity. Why do we break out in songs from Oliver and Company? Join theatre's favorite happy hour and find out on this week's episode of Broadwaysted!

We're drinking tequila and lemonade as we get Broadwaysted with new #FriendOfTheShow Samantha Massell from Broadway's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.  On this week's episode, Bryan and Samantha talk summer camp experiences, Sam shares her excitement to see her INTO THE WOODS mom Heather Headley in THE COLOR PURPLE, and then divulges the fascinating ways she prepared for her current Broadway role. 

This week the Broadwaysted crew is painting the town all the colors with theatrical caricature artist and actor Justin 'Squigs' Robertson. #EnemyoftheShow (and Kimberly's fiance) Jay Schmidt again fills in for Kevin who's still in Chicago for the run of his musical 'Daphne's Sunset' as the group pours out some beer and wine and lots of laughs. Squigs shares the origin of his nickname, his love of 'High Spirits,' and his process of immortalizing a show in a drawing.

This week the Broadwaysted Crew is clicking our heels in excitement to be sitting down with DAMES AT SEA and THE RADIO CITY NEW YORK SPECTACULAR star hoofer, Danny Gardner. While Kevin is still in Chicago for his musical, the crew welcomes #EnemyOfTheShow (and Kimberly's fiancee) actor and comedian Jay Schmidt to the panel!

This week the Broadwaysted Crew brings you a royal episode with a Broadwaysted twist. Sitting in the guest's throne is Broadway's Sandy to Cinderella, Laura Osnes--and filling in for Kevin while he's in Chicago for the opening of his musical DAPHNE'S SUNSET is Broadway Record's Robbie Rozelle!

Tune in this week as we get Broadwaysted with THE COLOR PURPLE's Antoine L. Smith, and #extrafriendoftheshow, Antoine's cousin Rainbo! On this episode, we drink vodka cranberry and pineapple (or a couple of ciders) and Antoine chats about working with powerhouses Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson, and Heather Headley--and why he wears a belt and suspenders together in the show.

Get ready Twitterverse--this week the Broadwaysted Crew sits down and drinks vodka with everyone's favorite 'Annoying Actor Friend' Andrew Briedis! The conversation flows as easily as the booze as we discuss Andrew's time in the production of The Boy Friend directed by Julie Andrews--and Andrew does his best Julie Andrews impression!

Eyes on the center ring for this week's episode of Broadwaysted with The Leading Lady of Cirque du Soleil's PARAMOUR-Ruby Lewis! Ruby pours some cabernet into her show sippy cup and spills about her 10-hour trip to Vegas, her journey with PARAMOUR from inception to Broadway, and her stressful childhood experience warming up for the Petite Miss Dance of America Competition. We play 'Dirty Hands on a Hardbody' and a new game called 'Is that a Cirque Title?' before we have a great round of Lights of Broadway Showcards Against Humanity (with a big shout out to Sydney Lucas!).

Gearing up for the upcoming season, we decided the Broadwaysted Crew needed some team bonding--so we grabbed our beverages of choice and saddled up to the mics for an episode flying solo!

Beautiful Hayley Podschun stopped by to get Broadwaysted before returning to the Broadway cast of SOMETHING ROTTEN July 18th! Hayley knew the drill: she showed up with her own NEWSIES OBC show tumbler (featuring #FriendOfTheShow Jeremy Jordan) full of bubbles!

Play along as AJ Shively (Broadway's BRIGHT STAR) joins Bryan, Kevin, & Kimberly for some whiskey, prosecco, broadway talk, theatre games, bad puns, more whiskey, and July 4th America talk. They play Lights of Broadway Against Humanity, Dirty Hands On a Hard Body Randy, and America's Playlist. AJ and Bryan start a movement to 'Bring Back BIG,' we talk E.T., and so much more!

Jeremy Jordan has been lighting up the screens recently on television's SUPERGIRL and as everyone's favorite cheating writer in the film adaptation of JRB's THE LAST FIVE YEARS, but this Tony-nominated Broadway Leading Man 'seized the day' to get Broadwaysted with us! This week, we do a 'super' quiz and Jeremy discovers he does an incredible James Corden impression--and during the 'Lights of Broadway' round Jeremy finds out he's a 'fun fact' on the back of a card!

BRIGHT STAR darling Hannah Elless knows the best cure her post-Tonys hangover: getting Broadwaysted! Pour a glass and listen in as Hannah talks about her two-year journey to 'Ashville' and effectively leads the charge in the Kevin Hamil-shaming by issuing this challenge: tweet dares that Kevin should do for tickets toHamilton @Broadwaysted with #Kev4Ham (and tag @HannahElless).

This week's episode we sit down with theatre and television star Paige Davis and make a few major discoveries-that Laura Benanti's arms are amazing...and everything can be mixed with Fresca.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, your head is throbbing-must be that magical time of the year: the afterglow of Tony Sunday.  After live-tweeting our drinking games and general shenanigans throughout the entire Tony Broadcast with actor and comedian Jay Schmidt, we poured out a few "last rounds" and recorded this SPECIAL POST-TONY EPISODE.  In addition to all of our reactions and vague recollections, we talk about how Jay is making Kimberly the #RealKimmieSchmidt and we choose our ultimate "Next Round's On Us" from Tonys 2016.  As the countdown to Tonys 2017 begins, relive the magic of theatre's biggest night and get Broadwaysted!

On this week's episode, with composer Michael Mott ('Where the Sky Ends'), we drink manhattans in sippy cups and  spill about Bright Star, the national treasure that is Carmen Cusack,The Color Purple, and how when Cynthia Erivo opens her mouth we all weep. We pour one out for Tuck Everlasting and American Psycho, Kimberly tells her sweet Hamilton engagement story, and Kevin does his best impression of Mandy Patinkin singing The Color Purple. Also we play Cast This Movie Musical! for Sunday in the Park, Dream Ballet Showdown, and Lights of Broadway Card Game. Hang out with us as we all get Broadwaysted!
