Michael Arden & Dane Laffrey Reveal How The Lost Boys Works

Michael Arden and Dane Laffrey have built seven Broadway shows together, and with The Lost Boys, they may have outdone themselves. Flying rigs on curves. Lifts in the floor. A vampire story told with the rigor of a magic trick. Katharine Quinn sits down with the Tony nominated design duo for a conversation about what it actually takes to make theater that surprises you and why they're never, ever done.

From Newsroom to Broadway: Eva Price's Unlikely Path to the Top

She's produced two Broadway shows in one season. She survived as an assignment editor, worked the Gore 2000 campaign, and bet on herself anyway. Tony Award-winning producer Eva Price sits down with Katharine Quinn to talk about how naivete is a superpower, why joy is an act of resistance, and what it really takes to bring a show from a Gristedes basement to the St. James Theatre. We talk about Titanique, Liberation, Jagged Little Pill, and what it means to fall in love with a show hard enough to produce it.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
