from The OHenry Report
On the second episode of BroadwayWorld's new theatre business podcast, "The OHenry Report," Broadway producer and investor, Oliver Henry Roth talks to four Broadway professionals about the ins and outs of replacing principal cast members in a Broadway show. First, he discusses the casting side of the process with Telsey + Company's Cesar Rocha. Then he talks to NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812's Associate Director Sammi Cannold about the put-in process for replacement stars. Next, Roth gets into how you market a show with a replacement lead with SpotCo Interactive's Creative Director Jimmy McNicholas, and, finally, he gets into the nuts and bolts of how the GREAT COMET recasting controversy could have happened from a contractual standpoint with Broadway and Off-Broadway general manager, Daniel Kuney; who is currently working on PUFFS now playing at New World Stages and he has previously worked on ROCK OF AGES, A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN, FELA!, THE 39 STEPS and many more.
