BROADWAY HD Streams Different Theater Stages From Around the World Right To You

Multiple Award Winning (Tony©, Olivier©, Drama Desk©, etc., ), Broadway power producing couple, and founders of Broadway HD, Bonnie Comley and Stewart Lane, stopped by for a chat about what's the latest happening with them and Broadway HD, including the release of the recent, West End Production of 42ND STREET, choreographed by Tony Award© Nominee, Randy Skinner, currently streaming on their service.

In the age of the streaming services, like NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME, and HULU, one can see film/television/comedy and some theatrical events.  BROADWAY HD is the streaming service that makes theater fans and geeks giddy with excitement, by bringing us stage performances not only from Broadway, Off Broadway, and the West End, in addition to a host of classic and modern musical films.    In June, BroadwayHD celebrates Pride with the release of Del Shores award-winning play, Southern Baptist Sissies starring gay icon and Emmy Award Winner Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) and Willam Belli (RuPaul’s Drag Race). Southern Baptist Sissies joins the growing library of LGBTQ+ titles on BroadwayHD such as Tony Nominee Falsettos and Indecent as well as the Michael Urie directed Bright Colors And Bold Patterns and Ivo van Hove’s Brokeback Mountain The Opera.

Sitting with Bonnie and Stewart, we talk about the convenience this service offers to its clientele, but we also note the importance of preservation of these performances.  I got the chance to not only spend time with both Bonnie and Stewart, and I also got to sit down with legendary choreographer, Randy Skinner to talk about his contributions to this production, as well as, his life and career in the theater.





Sit in on my wonderful conversation with legendary Tony Award© Nominated Choreographer, Randy Skinner.

Dance! Dance! Dance!

After coming out of the 2019 Chita Rivera Awards, I notice that my affinity for dancers and choreographers has been a burgeoning love.   In previous episodes, I have had dalliances with Andy Blankenbeuhler (BANDSTAND, HAMILTON, IN THE HEIGHTS), Christopher Gatelli ( CHER, SPONGEBOB, NEWSIES) and Joshua Bergasse (SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE, SWEET CHARITY). But just in the past 2 weeks, you may have heard some of my moments reuniting with papi chulo, Sergio Trujillo (AIN'T TOO PROUD, JERSEY BOYS, SUMMER), Warren Carlyle( KISS ME KATE, HELLO DOLLY), David Neumann (HADESTOWN), the Kuperman Brothers (ALICE BY HEART), Shea Sullivan( NEUROSIS THE MUSICAL), and my first choreographer boyfriend in my head, Denis Jones (TOOTSIE, HOLIDAY INN, FLAMINGO KID).  Outside of Shea Sullivan, there are certainly a lot of men, huh?  As we move through the awards season, I had a great chance to meet 2 other women who are nominated for the last 2 awards given out this season, The Drama Desk Award© and of course, The Tony Award©.

2019 Chita Rivera Awards Show and Red Carpet Are A Blast

The 2019 Chita Award Show Red Carpet is the best place to see the hottest dancers and choreographers in one place honoring Broadway, Off Broadway, and Film's finest works of Dance. 

Every year that I get the great fortune to cover the Chita Rivera Awards, I LOVE every minute of it. The most fun that can be had on the Red Carpet before all of the fabulousness begins.  It is a blast every time.  You never know what things you have in common with these dynamic people in the most random of ways.   Naomi Kakuk and I's jaw dropping reunion and David Neumann's connection to someone from his past were my two personal favorite random moments EVER! The red carpet starts off a little slow and then moves with heated pace.  So many great folks and so little time to chat, but please enjoy the fun and folly.

Part 1 includes conversations with nominees: The Kuperman Brothers, Wesley Taylor, Sergio Trujillo

Edgar Garderno, Warren Carlyle, Brennan Caldwell, Emma Degerstet, Caroline Pope, Lorin Lotarro, Shea Sullivan, Naomi Kakuk, Irina Dvorovenko.

2019 TONY© AWARD NOMINATIONS HAVE DROPPED

From L to R: Ken Finkelstein, Me, Paul Winkler

The Tony©Award

As you already know, the 2019 Tony Award Nominations have been announced.  Of course, I have plenty to say about them, but it is so much more fun to dish with friends.  This year , Paul Winkler (actor, theater lover, and social media baby),  Ken Finkelstein (Broadway Bon Vivant and Enthusiast), Gregory Allen via email ballot(actor/author/playwright/screenwriter/producer), and I, take a look at this year's nominees in ALL of the categories.  From the heavily lauded Hadestown to almost ignored Be More Chill, the nominees run the gamut.  I will admit that I am bummed that Orfeh & Eric Anderson from Pretty Woman, Angie Schworer & Christopher Sieber from The Prom, Leslie Kritzer and Alex Timbers from Beetlejuice were all ignored.  I will move on, and as long as they are treading the boards to packed houseS, they will somehow manage.  Please note that opinions expressed are those of the individuals expressing them.  Please enjoy the fun and sometimes dishy predictions. 

The Big Prizes aka What Will be Aired on TV


The Technical Awards aka What Happens During the Commercials

The Tony© Awards will be presented Sunday, June 9, 2018 at 8pm EST, LIVE from Radio City Music Hall, hosted by Tony© Award Winner, James Corden.


Also, stay tuned to more about our friend, Gregory Allen and his short film, HIDING IN DAYLIGHT
