Katie Spelman On The Notebook's Most Beautiful Number

She choreographed The Notebook on Broadway, she's the force behind The Agnes Index, and she's about to take on Wild Party at City Center. In this episode of Game Changers, Katharine Quinn sits down with director-choreographer Katie Spelman for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to build a career behind the table. Katie gets candid about the moment she walked off stage for good, what associate life actually looks like when the wings are closed, and why she started counting the men and women on every Broadway creative team. Plus: Brigadoon, film & TV choreography, and a rapid fire round that goes fully off the rails.🎙 Game Changers is a production of And That's Showbiz — the fan-forward, digital-first Broadway media outlet.Follow And That's Showbiz for more conversations with Broadway's boldest voices.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe.
