Her fans up til now have known her as a singer-songwriter, but when Dear Evan Hansen hits movie theatres in September, we will get to see a whole new side of Liz Kate. Making her feature film debut as a new character named Gemma, Liz tells host Sally Fuller that the emotions were so real during the process that she and her castmates cried even in callbacks for the film. Join us as Liz takes us back through how she landed the role, what she learned from working with Ben Platt, and so much more! Check out our show notes for bonus content on TheBroadwayGinger.com.

The Alliance Theatre’s upcoming world premiere of Darlin’ Cory has brought Sugarland frontman Kristian Bush and prolific playwright/novelist Phillip DePoy together to write an Appalachian myth a la Hadestown. Bush and DePoy sat down with host Sally Fuller a few days before starting rehearsals with the whole company to rewind a bit and share in-depth about how they created a brand new musical during the pandemic. Listen to music from Darlin' Cory and check out photos on TheBroadwayGinger.com.

Michael Perrie Jr. was that kid in youth theatre: The one who lived for a laugh and always had to learn the hard way. Fast-forward 18ish years, and his comedic daring has made him not only a successful performer but a gifted composer/lyricist/librettist as well. Join us for this trip down memory lane in which both Perrie and host Sally Fuller revisit some of their summer theatre camp days, favorite interviews, and more. Check out our show notes with some photos from these shows we're talking about on TheBroadwayGinger.com!

Last week, host Sally Fuller (and Thomas “the Bearded Man” Fuller) got to see City Springs Theatre Company’s Into the Woods live and in-person (starring BGP guest Terry Burrell), and she's recorded her take for BGP subscribers. We have an excerpt here, and we are taking this opportunity to announce the launch of the BGP Patreon where you can support our show and hear full-length bonus episodes like this one! (Hot cakes and tears ahead...) Visit TheBroadwayGinger.com for some photos and videos of the performance as well!

This might be the first ever podcast episode about a musical about a podcast. Between various engagements playing Buddy Holly/everyone in Million Dollar Quartet, multi-talented performer and writer Michael Perrie, Jr. found a way to blend his love of both podcasts and musicals in his show My Favorite Podcast, a musical based on My Favorite Murder. For our fourth installment of the New Works Series, host Sally Fuller gets a new theatre BFF as she and Perrie discuss the art of writing comedy, the inexplicable magic of seeing your favorite musical for the first time, and much more. Listen to "Little Georgia Jewish Murder Girl," an exclusive track from the musical, at the end! Photos and videos on TheBroadwayGinger.com.

As this episode coincides with the USA's Independence Day observance, it seems fitting to feature a musical about the quintessential American experience of traveling across the world to make a new life. Spencer Williams' musical For Tonight is getting a concept recording at the end of the month, and this milestone holds significance for not only him but his ancestors as well. Host Sally Fuller sits down with Williams to discuss the fascinating backstory that turned a few paragraphs of a journal into a large-scale musical. After the conversation, stick around to hear an exclusive release of the song, "Wait for the Morn" from For Tonight, sung in authentic Welsh accents by West End actors Dale Evans and Simon Gordon! And be sure to check out our show notes for some bonus photos and videos on TheBroadwayGinger.com.
