Favorite Stories:

  • Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
  • Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
  • Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
  • Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.
  • Next On Stage - Working on this project and having the opportunity to spotlight so many talented young people from around the country has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

TV: Richard Jay-Alexander Chats with Olivier & Tony Award Winner Frances Ruffelle About LES MIZ and So Much More!
June 15, 2018

BroadwayWorld is proud to bring you an exclusive conversation between two legends - London's Frances Ruffelle (now a New Yorker) and Broadway's Richard Jay-Alexander. Both of these longtime pros share a very special experience, being part of the legendary history of LES MISERABLES. The two friends got together on the stage of THE GREEN ROOM 42 in the heart of midtown Manhattan, where Jay-Alexander had just seen her show, FRANCES RUFFELLE LIVEs IN NEW YORK. There were no rules and nothing 'off-limits' as neither of them prepared or pre-discussed what they would talk about, prior to walking into the venue on a recent hot New York afternoon. It's very informative and just as entertaining. Ruffelle's final show of the season is Saturday, June 23rd at 7:00 P.M.
