This podcast is all about theatre, inspiration, laughs, and some fitness. Part of the Broadway Podcast Network.
#99 - Adam Jacobs - ALADDIN, LION KING, LES MIZ
Adam Jacobs / @adamjacobsnyc
Not everyone can say they have ridden a magic carpet, but for Adam Jacobs, that became his daily routine as he played Aladdin in the Disney Broadway musical. But, hanging out with a genie every night isn't all there is to this Broadway star that we have all come to know and love.
In our interview, Adam shares his insight on what it is like to be an actor who could fit into so many different types of roles and yet, still felt there was no place for him in the casting industry. Asking questions like "Where do I fit in?" and "What is my type?" drove him to start using this as a strength instead of a weakness. Now, He has starred in National Tours, on Broadway, and has been nominated for a Grammy and Drama Desk Awards.
We also talk to Adam about his new cabaret "Behind the Curtain" that will soon be released on digital platforms for us all to enjoy! The cabaret will include Pop, Rock, Broadway and some surprises that Adam has up his sleeve...maybe even some secrets of showmances!

#98 - Christian Thompson - AIN'T TOO PROUD
Christian Thompson / @christianthompsonactor
"Pivot"- A word we have all heard throughout our industry, over and over again. Christian Thompson, who plays Smokey Robinson and Damon Harris in Ain't Too Proud the Musical
Christian has experienced so much in his journey, from cruise ship work to Rent National Tour. Then, to go from rehearsals for a promised Broadway show to working at the Hamilton merch store, he has felt the ups and downs of the journey. But even in the tough moments, he shares with us how he has found the drive to pursue passions and creative opportunities that, in the past, he had counted unattainable. Christian also expresses the joy in finding himself as a true, unique artist and the individuals along the way who have helped mold him into the person he is today!

#97 - Craig Feldmann - @PARODYBILL
Maybe you don't recall seeing the name "Craig Feldman" on the front of a Playbill, but you can absolutely find his genius and skill spread across each design of Parodybill. As the founder and lead designer of Parodybill, Craig shares with us how he has taken his love of Broadway and infused it with his lifelong graphic design career to create what we know today as the witty and creative designs of Parodybill.
It all started on a flight back home after seeing Mean Girls the Musical in previews and Dear Evan Hansen was bright in the Broadway lights. Craig's ideas began to swirl and he wondered ""what if these shows became a mashup in design?"" and Parodybill was born. It continues to grow and bring theatre-lovers fun, creative and inspiring designs built around the world that we all love--Broadway!
You can now enjoy hundreds of his designs at @Parodybill on Instagram and shop their merch at shop.parodybill.com.
