BROADWAY EDEN ESPINOSA Share: INTERVIEW LAURA OSNES LINDSAY MENDEZ Backstage Guides N.Y. THEATER PATRICK HINDS PODCASTS THEATER NEWS THEATER PEOPLE More Auditions for Actors Photo Source: Dianna Bush The only reason Patrick Hinds launched “Theater People,” his biweekly podcast of one-on-one interviews with Broadway’s biggest stars, was that he wanted a podcast like that to exist. “It really happened because I was a podcast nerd,” the host and creator recently told Backstage. “I was obsessed.” Although theater-related interview series had emerged here and there on the airwaves, Hinds—“a theater lover but not an actor”—found himself craving in-depth conversations with the artists he admired on the Broadway stage. Thanks to “Theater People,” those conversations with Tony Award-winning actors, from Michael Cerveris to Renée Elise Goldsberry to Laura Benanti, are now available to thespians everywhere. http://www.backstage.com/news/theater-people-brings-broadway-airwaves/ 1/4 8/25/2016 ‘Theater People’ Brings Broadway to the Airwaves | Backstage In early 2014, however, several factors were working against Hinds and his producing partners Mike Jensen and Vonia Arslanian. “We didn’t know anything about production or sound or editing,” said POPULAR ON BACKSTAGE: Hinds with a laugh. “I had no technical know-how.” Plus, being a Broadway enthusiast didn’t necessarily mean strong connections to Broadway itself. “We didn’t have a way to get people on the show! Other than to reach out on Facebook or Twitter.” 9 Apps All Actors Should Have Through various friends of friends, Hinds eventually booked early guests, including Annaleigh Ashford and Michael Urie, by reaching out—and simply asking. “The theater community in New York is small and people wanted this to exist,” he said. Seventy-four episodes later and counting, he added, 21 Twitter Mistakes Actors “It’s my full-time job and I make a living doing it. And I’ve never been happier.” (Asked to pick a Have to Stop Making favorite, Hinds said his interviews with “In the Heights” stars Karen Olivo and Lin-Manuel Miranda will always remain highlights.) This summer, “Theater People” has launched a series of interactive live shows, following and Now Casting: ‘Heathers: the expanding upon the podcast’s format. “The intention was to bring fans and artists together in unique Musical’ and 2 More Gigs and affordable ways,” said Hinds. “It’s not your typical live show, not an event where you have to do a cover charge and drink minimum.” Fans at the first two live shows got to see Lesli Margherita and Lindsay Mendez up close and personal; tickets to upcoming shows featuring Eden Espinosa (July 17) and Laura Osnes (Aug. 7) are available now.

  • Southern Comfort
    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

  • Religious Roots Tangle with the Groovy ’60S - the New York Times
    'Kinky Boots' Sets April 4 Broadway Opening - NYTimes.com AUGUST 15, 2012, 3:13 PM ‘Kinky Boots’ Sets April 4 Broadway Opening By PATRICK HEALY "Kinky Boots," one of the most anticipated musicals of the new Broadway season, with Cyndi Laupermaking her debut as a songwriter for the stage, will begin performances on March 5, 2013, at the Al Hirschfeld Theater and open on April 4, the producers announced on Wednesday. Based on a 2005 British filmabout a shoe factory heir who enlists a drag queen to help save the family business, "Kinky Boots" will star the Tony Award nominee Stark Sands ("Journey's End," "American Idiot") as the scion Charlie and Billy Porter (Belize in the Off Broadway revival of "Angels in America") as the resourceful Lola. The show's book writer is Harvey Fierstein, who won a Tony for his book for "La Cage aux Folles" and was nominated in the category last season for the Broadway musical "Newsies." Ms. Lauper, a Grammy-winning pop icon of the 1980s, has written the music and lyrics for the production, which will have an out-of-town run in Chicago this fall. Jerry Mitchell will direct, and the lead producers are Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig. Like "Kinky Boots," most of the new Broadway musicals expected this season are inspired by movies or books; the others include "Bring It On," "Rebecca," "A Christmas Story," "Matilda," "Diner," and "Hands on a Hardbody." http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/kinky-boots-sets-april-4-broadway-opening/?pagewanted=print[8/16/2012 9:52:02 AM] Religious Roots Tangle With the Groovy ’60s - The New York Times August 15, 2012 THEATER REVIEW Religious Roots Tangle With the Groovy ’60s By JASON ZINOMAN Wearing a bushy beard and the absent-minded expression of a father preoccupied with work at the dinner table, Eric Anderson, who plays the Jewish singer Shlomo Carlebach in the bio-musical “Soul Doctor,” appears smaller than life.
