Rye Myers says "I am just thrilled that The Dickens has opened its doors to my Broadway talk show to make it its new weekly home venue and to continue the purpose of bringing joy, laughter and the love of Broadway to everyone in New York City and beyond. The fact that we can combine the love for theater in a space that is, well, very gay, I find to be just so fitting! I am so grateful to Bryan here and his terrific staff who have helped me to make this possible. The Broadway community needs a place to gather at the end of the week after the shows end and I am thrilled that Live with Rye & Friends on Broadway can make that happen with help of The Dickens as its venue!"
