SPECIAL COLLECTIONS: Broadway - The Performers. Featuring: Shoshana Bean, Melissa Errico, Sam Harris, Ann Hampton Callaway, Darius de Haas, Lucie Arnaz!

This Special Collections episode is called Broadway - The Performers.  Each episode of Special Collections focuses on a particular common thread that ties together some of my guests. In this episode, that common thread is Broadway. Each of the guests featured here is an accomplished and acclaimed performer in one or more Broadway productions. Broadway is one of the great storytelling traditions in the world — where music, lyrics, story, choreography, and performance come together to create powerful emotional experiences. What connects each of the artists in this collection is not only their Broadway experience, but their love of performing — and their deep connection to the Broadway tradition. Here are the six performers who are profiled in this episode: ⸻ Shoshana Bean - two-time Tony Award–nominated actress. “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Mr. Saturday Night”, “Wicked”, “Waitress”, “Hairspray”.  Melissa Errico - Tony Award nominee whose Broadway credits include “My Fair Lady” and “Les Miserables”. Sam Harris - Cy Coleman’s “The Life”, Tommy Tune’s “Grease”, “The Producers”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”.  Ann Hampton Callaway - “Swing”. BroadwayWorld’s “Celebrity of the Year”.   Here’s Ann singing “Pick Yourself Up,” another classic song from Swing Time. Darius de Haas - “Kiss Of The Spider Woman”, “Rent”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”.   Lucie Arnaz - “They’re Playing Our Song”, “The Jazz Singer”. Follow Your Dream. —-------- Stay tuned for another Special Collections episode soon.
