Show Notes

Today, I am so happy to announce my episode with Broadway ensemblist and activist T. Oliver Reid. Tune in to hear some of the stories of T.’s long and legendary career, including his many auditions for Hadestown, how he founded the Black Theater Coalition and the work he hopes to do, working with Robert Goulet, working with children and animals in Once On This Island, the meaning behind Polly Bergen’s diamond, adapting to the styles of different choreographers, the many tricks he had to learn for Kiss Me, Kate, reimagining Cabaret, and so much more. T. Is an inspiration in so many ways, and hearing him speak is an extremely educational experience.
