A special Broadway Nation Live event!
This is a special live and in person episode of Broadway Nation!
It was recorded on March 6, 2022 live at the Vashon Center for The Arts where I was joined onstage by a terrific group of singers, and special guest Albert Evans, to pay tribute to the late, great Stephen Sondheim.
As you will hear, in these live events there is a little less talking and lot more music than in a regular episode, but I don’t think anyone will be disappointed by that - especially when the music and lyrics are by Mr. Sondheim.
The fantastic cast is: Anne Allgood, Joshua Carter, James Rocco, Billie Wildrick, and Evan Stults on the piano. My frequent co-host, Albert Evans, shares a fascinating story about the making of West Side Story that few people have heard.
My wireless microphone was acting up a bit during the first part of the concert, but gets quickly replaced, and we have done our best to minimize the disruption in this recording.
