SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony-winning writer Dick Scanlan. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including his eight years performing in PAGEANT, how THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE turned him into a theater writer, giving Sutton Foster her breakout role in the show, directing Ellen Greene in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, being influenced by Gilbert and Sullivan, the benefit performance that spawned EVERYDAY RAPTURE, editing Poz Magazine, watching THE SOUND OF MUSIC in a theater full of nuns, his unconventional journey from Carnegie Mellon to NYU, his research process for AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, why he turned down TOOTSIE, the thrill of working with Berry Gordy on MOTOWN, revising THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, telling prisoners’ real stories in WHORL INSIDE A LOOP, and so much more. Don’t miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway’s best wordsmiths.
