Show Notes

Today, I am so excited to announce my episode with one of Broadway’s most influential figures, 38-time Tony nominated producer Daryl Roth. Currently, Daryl is producing Life of Pi on Broadway, which begins performances on March 9. Tune in today to hear some of the stores of her long career, including the play she produced that ended up being performed in medical schools, why raising money is her least favorite part of producing, how she converted a bank into a theater, why she chose not to take Edward Albee’s The Goat out of town, the process of reuniting the original cast of How I Learned to Drive, why London is a good breeding ground for Broadway transfers, opening theater up post-pandemic with Blindness, the famous actress who insisted on being barefoot on stage, and so much more.
