MENGENAI EPISOD INI
This week on Curtain Call, Tom Candela heads straight to the heart of theatre fandom with a spotlight on BroadwayCon 2026, the three-day celebration where fans, artists, and creators come together in the center of Times Square to share their love of Broadway. Joining the conversation is Melissa Anelli, CEO and founder of Mischief Management, the producing force behind BroadwayCon. With new venues, expanded programming, and the introduction of BroadwayCon’s first-ever Drag Ball benefiting Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS, this year’s event marks an exciting new chapter in BroadwayCon’s evolution.
Also joining Tom is actor, writer, and advocate Erin Quill, a member of the original Broadway company of Avenue Q and a longtime voice for equity in casting. This year, Erin takes the BroadwayCon stage not as a panelist, but as a guest performer as part of Friday’s AANHPI-focused event, celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander artists and stories. Together, they explore the power of speaking up, the importance of representation, and how fandom can become a bridge—connecting loving audiences with the artists and stories that inspire them
