Craig Bierko

from Backstage Babble · host cbroadwaypodcast

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with Tony nominee Craig Bierko. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including what he learned from Meredith Willson’s notes in the script of THE MUSIC MAN, dancing with Rebecca Luker, the “stop-start” feeling of THOU SHALT NOT, how James Lapine approached directing MODERN ORTHODOX, the Jewishness that is needed in GUYS AND DOLLS, why he didn’t connect to the character of Miss Trunchbull in MATILDA, what it was like performing GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY just after the pandemic, why STANDING ON CEREMONY didn’t work in New York, his efforts to revive LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE, talking to Patti LuPone backstage during COMPANY, a meaningful moment with Stephen Sondheim, playing opposite Len Cariou in HARRY TOWNSEND’S LAST STAND, and so much more. Don’t miss this honest conversation with one of Broadway’s greatest stars.
