Ep 86- Chatting About Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado with David Wannen
We are BACK! The Roundtable comes back to the Broadway Podcast Network and we are READY for an amazing 2024! Buckle up!
Today we have actor, producer, and Executive Director of NY's Gilbert & Sullivan Players David Wannen with us! New York Gilbert Sullivan Players continues its expanded 49 th season with its critically acclaimed new production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado. The repertory company is presenting 6 performances at New York’s Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College (68 th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues) on Saturday, January 6 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 7 at 3:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 13 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 14 at 3:00 p.m.
The Mikado, which was first performed at London's Savoy Theatre in 1885, pokes fun at topical aspects of Victorian society, but Gilbert & Sullivan cleverly cloak their satirical barbs behind a charming love story set in an imagined town in Japan, and NYGASP continues the time-honored tradition of topical updating for a modern audience.
Performance schedule:
January 6 at 2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
January 7, 2024 at 3:00 p.m.
January 13, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.* & 7:30 p.m.

Ep 82- Platinum Superstars Straight No Chaser Talk The Holidays!
They broke the internet with their "12 Days Of Christmas," went on to sell millions of albums, rack up billions of streams, and sell out tours all over the world, Straight, No Chaser is here! We chat with two founding members about their new album, tour, and how you manage a monster acapella group on the road! We are FANS of their work and they are here!
Known for their holiday music, earlier this month the group released "Stocking Stuffer," an EP of holiday standards and originals. They have two RIAA-certified gold holiday albums, Christmas Cheers and Holiday Spirit.Their annual fall tour has become a holiday tradition for families across the US. Last year, their fall tour was included in Pollstar's top 20 of their "Live 75" at the end of 2022 as a top grossing tour for that time period. This year, the fall tour (dubbed the "Sleighin' It Tour"), runs from October-New Year's Eve.
Straight No Chaser ushered in the modern a cappella craze with their unexpected breakthrough version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" fourteen years ago, reuniting a group of college friends from Indiana University who went their separate ways following graduation. Now celebrating their 25th anniversary since those beginnings, the group has clocked in two RIAA-certified Gold records, one billion streams on Pandora alone, and more than a million concert tickets sold worldwide to their unforgettable live shows. They’ve performed on “Today,” “GMA3,” and “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” among others and recorded three concerts for PBS which aired nationwide.

Ep 79- Grammy Nominated Harpist Kirsten Agresta-Copely Talks Broadway, Her Album, & More!
Internationally acclaimed harpist and composer Kirsten Agresta-Copely recently released her highly anticipated New Age album, Aquamarine. Inspired by her deep connection with the ocean and imbued with memories of her late mother, this album is a heartfelt homage to the woman who ignited Kirsten's passion for both music and the sea. It represents a profound moment of artistic expression and personal reflection – intertwining the power of the ocean, the beauty of her mother's memory, and the boundless depths of Kirsten’s own artistic vision.
Nomination quote from Kirsten Agresta-Copely:
“My team and I are over the moon happy and honored to be nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for my album Aquamarine. This is the first full length album recorded in our newly built studio, Casa Copely Recording, and we are so pleased to have this honor from The Recording Academy.”
Aquamarine is Kirsten’s second New Age album, and is already the winner of the 2023 Global Music Award for “Outstanding New Age Performance.” According to Classical Crossover, Aquamarine is “a brilliant music tribute…Kirsten captures the mood so perfectly, you can almost hear the seagulls in the distance. The album is delightfully unrushed, with the aimless exploration of plucked notes and arpeggios that you might expect on a holiday or, for those of us stuck grudgingly at work, a montage to play memories of happier days.” New Age Music Guide cites: “This unique voyage into the deep blue sea feels significant, timeless, and heartfelt.”
After recording and mixing the album in Brooklyn, New York, Kirsten declared, “It was healing for me to record the compositions that were created throughout my mother’s prolonged decline and transition. I consider myself fortunate to have the ability to create within a secure and safe space, where I can breathe new life into melodies that bring solace to my spirit. My hope is for listeners to experience the therapeutic power inherent in both music and the ocean.”
About Kirsten Agresta-Copely
An international award-winning harpist and composer, Kirsten Agresta-Copely is hailed for her charismatic, telegenic presence on stage and known as the industry’s go-to harpist in the recording studio. An omnivorous artist steeped in rigorous classical training, Kirsten has performed with today’s leading artists including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Enya, The Roots, Lady Gaga, and Andrea Bocelli, to name a few. Her contributions to the world of music education are equally significant, having held esteemed positions at Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music and Sarah Lawrence College. She earned degrees from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and is on the World Harp Congress Board of Directors. KirstenCopelyMusic.com

Ep 78- Standup Comic, Author, & Dentist!?!?! Mike King Is Here To Talk His Brand New Book "Dad Spelled Backwards"
Comedian and dentist, Mike King, has built his pediatric dental practice in an unusual manner.
He incorporates comedy into his dental office in order to relax the children. Kid’s jokes, and magic tricks are all part of his treatment.
Entertaining is in his blood. His father, Sid, was owner and MC of “Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar” in Denver. In the 70s and 80s, it was one of the largest burlesque houses west of the Mississippi. It was so famous, Clint Eastwood shot his film “Every Which Way but Loose” there.
It was only a matter of time before Mike started performing for grownups. In the comedy club circuit he’s known as “The Fifth Dentist”. You know, “Four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum”. Well he’s the fifth! He appears weekly at Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, and Gotham Comedy Club. He also takes his hilarious stand-up routine on the road, especially to dental conventions. Currently Mike is working on his one man show, “The Fifth Dentist.”
Mike has appeared on Comedy Central, America’s Funniest Home Videos, and An Evening at the Improv. He has opened many times for Ray Romano, and was featured in Newsweek magazine and the New York Times. He recently was selected to perform at the LA Comedy Festival.
His other passion is writing. He sold a screenplay to Susskind and Company and became a member of the Writers Guild of America East. Newline Cinemas selected his romantic comedy script to develop from over a 100 submitted. His co-writer, Juan Campanella, won an Oscar in 2010. Another screenplay, “Supermarket” , co-written with Harrison Greenbaum, has been optioned. He was also selected by Larry David to submit ideas for the “Seinfeld” show and was a consultant for “The Eligible Dentist”, a sitcom pilot starring Gene Wilder.
Mike has managed to balance his love for pediatric dentistry with his love for the entertainment business.

Founders Patricia Montour-Rossi and Leo Rossi, who were married in September 2023 in a beautiful ceremony in San Francisco, came together decades after their first chance meeting on a New York to LA flight in 1982, with Patricia as a United flight attendant and Leo on the road as tour manager with oneof his high-profile music artists (Christopher Cross). Remaining casual friends through the years eventually losing contact as they both continued on with their lives and careers, with marriages and raising families of their own (Leo as a father of five and Patricia a mother of four).
In 2017, the two once again crossed paths on a serendipitous encounter in Denver where Leo was visiting on a business meeting and while sitting on a hotel patio, spotted Patricia across the street. As the couple's relationship blossomed they also merged their desire to create something that would honor their son's legacies by providing wellness products that help people enjoy their lives and inspire them to never give up on life...or love!

Patrick Olson, the creator and performer of EMERGENCE: Things Are Not as They Seem, a revolutionary theatrical experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional performance art. It seamlessly blends live, original music, stunning visual effects, and a dynamic ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers. EMERGENCE takes its audience on a captivating journey into the deepest aspects of the human experience, posing profound questions about life, time, love, and human perception.
Patrick has a diverse background - a lifelong composer, musician, educational science publisher and producer. In 2021, he wrote, recorded, and released the album "Music For Scientists," a testament to the emotional power of the profound realizations that science has unveiled. This album serves as an homage to the people of science, whom we all deeply rely on for our understanding of the world. He took that idea and transformed it into a stage production with a band, background singers, dancers, and amazing visual elements.
The show explores The unique Intersection of Science and Music and Inspiration from Scientific Insights: The show dives into the philosophical and intellectual depths challenging preconceptions, encourages exploration, and connects us to the fundamental mysteries of existence.

Ep 68- The Creators & Star of "Trich" Are Here! New Play Coming To Luna Stage In NJ!
TRICH
Written and Performed by Becca Schneider
Created by Jenn Haltman, Casey Pfeifer, and Becca Schneider
This is a solo show about living with Trich. You might not know what that is, but don’t worry, you’ll find out when you see the play. You’ll meet a teenage girl with an undeniable secret that no one seems to notice, so she hides in her basement cubicle wondering if anyone will come downstairs. Whoa, did that get too dark too fast? Let’s try this again: TRICH is a depressing super fun show about mental health, isolation, and forging a path toward recovery through humor, vulnerability, and far too many 90s references.
Listen as they talk what it took to get this written, made, and on its feet! Plus Robert has a personal connection to this team and it turns out to be a deep and inspiring convo for sure!
www.TRICHPLAY.com for more info!

Ep 58- Gospel Superstar Maurette Brown Clark Talks Her New Album "He Loves Me"
Maurette Brown Clark’s voice is one that sneaks up on you. It steals into your soul and, before you know it, you’re feeling everything she’s feeling. Her epistles of hope and encouragement are so indelibly linked to your own story that you can’t shake them, even if you tried. But you don’t want to.
"HE LOVES ME" is the forthcoming 8-song project from multi-award winning singer-songwriter-producer, MAURETTE BROWN CLARK. The project will be globally available on Friday, November 3, 2023, via the Nettie's Child Music/MNRK Nashville label imprint.
Maurette Brown Clark’s voice is one that sneaks up on you. It steals into your soul and, before you know it, you’re feeling everything she’s feeling. Her epistles of hope and encouragement are so indelibly linked to your own story that you can’t shake them, even if you tried. But you don’t want to.
That’s why Maurette is known as the “Princess of Praise & Worship.” Her 2023 single, “I See Good,” written by Anthony Brown, is currently impacting radio, with the release of a brand new project to follow. “My prayer,” she said, “is for all of my songs to encourage people today and five, ten, twenty years from now.”
Originally from Long Island, New York, she joined her father and three siblings in their family gospel group, the Brown Singers and together they performed throughout the greater New York area. Maurette also studied classical piano and sang in church choirs and choruses, continuing to hone her musical skills.
After having graduated from University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, she answered the call to music ministry. Maurette launched her music career by writing songs, recording demos, and singing solos around the DMV area, where she caught the attention of other gospel artists. She sang with the Keyth Lee Singers and recorded with Rev. Timothy Wright, the Wilmington-Chester Mass Choir, and Daniel Winans. However, it wasn’t until she recorded with Richard Smallwood & Vision that the record industry really took notice.
Maurette’s solo on “Angels,” from Richard Smallwood & Vision’s 1996 Adoration: Live in Atlanta, (which also included the classic “Total Praise”) so impressed the record company, Verity Records, that they signed her to a solo contract. Her debut album, How I Feel (1998), and its single, “Breaking of Day,” earned her a 2000 Stellar Award for Best New Artist.
Maurette is often compared to Roberta Flack because of her confident, laidback approach. “I like to take the time to paint a picture. I like to set that kind of atmosphere in a song,” she said. She cites Donnie McClurkin among her singing inspirations. Fittingly, with Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley, and Helen Baylor, Maurette received a Dove nomination for her participation on the 2008 remake of McClurkin’s “Stand.”

Streisand’s foremost interpreter offers up some of her greatest hits, selections to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Yentl, as well as her long-awaited memoir, My Name Is Barbra, being released the day before the show.

“Simply Barbra” is updated annually as Brinberg travels the globe with the show. The first show began in Brinberg’s native New York where it ran for three years and has since played across the US, in London’s West End, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sydney, Melbourne, Barcelona, Bangkok, Puerto Vallarta, and Toronto (more cities than the real Barbra). Steven spent 11 years touring with Marvin Hamlisch and his symphony orchestra as a special guest star. Stephen Sondheim requested his appearance at his birthday concert at the Library of Congress. Terrence McNally wrote narration for him to read as Barbra at a concert at Lincoln Center. He has also performed at special events for such notables as Donna Karan, Joan Rivers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Liza Minnelli.
“Simply Barbra” has earned two MAC Awards, a Bistro Award and was nominated for a Robby Award for theatre and cabaret in Los Angeles. Brinberg’s film credits include Camp, Boys Life, Heavenly Peace, and Thirsty. His television appearances include “Blue Bloods” on CBS, “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” “Sally Jessy Raphael,” “Jerry Springer,” and MTV’s “Celebrity Death Match.” Off-Broadway Steven has appeared in Ivanov (Jewish Rep), The Wind Up Toys (Lambs Theatre) and Ken Page’s Musical Nightlife at the Westbeth and Manhattan Theatre Club. He co-starred on Broadway in the concert version of Funny Girl featuring Whoopi Goldberg and Kristin Chenoweth. Brinberg has released two albums, Simply Barbra: Live in London, and Simply Barbra: The Duet Album, featuring Kaye Ballard, Mimi Hines, Debbie Gravitte, Karen Mason, and many others. SimplyBarbra.com

Ep 45- Out 100 List Singing Pop Superstar Vincint Is Here For A "Revival" Chat About Songs, The Movement, & More!
Vincint is here. He sent shockwaves on "The Voice" and released a chart topping album that had us all dancing. He is heading out on tour and he just made the list of Out Magazine's Out 100 List! How does he write? What inspires him & so much more is chatted about with this pop superstar doing it is way!
Hailed by PAPER as “one of the greatest vocalists of our generation” and “a legend in the making,” by Billboard, VINCINT’s mission is clear. “I make music to make you cry and make you dance,” he explains. “But most importantly, to make you feel something.”
Since a star-making turn on the Fox competition series The Four in 2018, the Philadelphia native has dominated national conversations and captivated millions across the globe with big-hearted pop music, sang proudly through “a megaphone of self-love,” as described by LADYGUNN. His 2020 debut EP The Feeling was met by critical applause and led to the single “Be Me,” a recent hit that catapulted the artist to stratospheric heights last summer after it became the official Season 5 trailer track of Netflix’s smash series Queer Eye.
VINCINT’s songcraft and radiance has brought him to our culture’s most beloved stages, highlighted by headlining performances at Los Angeles Pride, multiple sold-out shows in New York City and Los Angeles, and the 2020 Oscars as part of Cynthia Erivo’s choir to name a few. It’s all enough for Out Magazine to declare: “You want to talk about a singer?! My god.”
