Sometimes it feels there is a disconnect between Long Island Theater performers and the theaters they perform in and I think it’s important to chat about 🙃There was a situation with a Children’s Theater production and a Long Island based theater that was brought to me that I felt needed to be addressed - but I also see this as an opportunity to discuss the disparity between Children’s Theater performers vs. Mainstage performers as well as ALL Long Island Theater performers and their respective theaters. 👀Let’s begin conversation that is conducive to a productive result! I hope this can be the beginning of that. 💜#longisland #longislandtheater #theater #theaterpodcast #podcast

Every conversation with Matthew Surico is a fun one! We THINK (lots of review would be needed) that he is the first person to appear twice on The Kyle Petty Show and that seems completely apropos (see what I did there? A little rhyming action for you!) for how much he has contributed to the brand over the years! With this conversation we discussed a few things!  Monty Python's Spamalot which opens this Saturday, February 14th at 7:30pm at CM Performing Arts Center! The Jon Rivera Tribute Show on Sunday, February 15th at 6pm at CM Performing Arts Center! One of his favorite and funny moments onstage!️ A little 'This or That' game His plans for the summer! (Wild that we are even talking about that already, but this man is BUSY!) Thank you as always to Matthew for being down to clown! You can check out some of the 'Best Bits' in The Kyle Petty Show Thursday livestream along with some other Long Island Theater news and find the extended conversation too – all on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Long Island famous choreographer Melissa Rapelje and we had the best time! We discussed her experience with Legally Blonde – how she didn't intend to work on the show and what changed her mind – her passion for dance, as well as some of her favorite roles as a performer! She's done so many things over the years and juggles it all with being a wife and mother…crazy impressive! This conversation was an absolute hoot; give it a watch/listen and catch closing weekend of Legally Blonde at CM Performing Arts Center to see her work in motion!

Fun on The Kyle Petty Show continues with RYAN NOLIN! We settled in one afternoon to chat on a number of different topics - discussing favorite moments on different Long Island Theater stages, The Spice Girls (as people do!), and Ryan's version of 2 Truths and Lie...that became 2 lies and a truth! Lots of fun was had and we hope you enjoy this one too! Ryan is currently teaching tap classes at CM Performing Arts Center through March 10th and will be starring in THE PRODUCERS this spring at Theatre Three - follow him on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with his projects! #LongIsland #LongIslandTheater #LITheater #theater #evita #storyteller #kylepetty #singer #entertainment #goodvibes #goodtimes #personality #culture #gay #podcast #lipodcast #suffolkcounty #longislandstrong #lgbt #lgbtq

The Kyle Petty Show is BACK and this time I'm focusing on Long Island culture - specifically the Long Island Theater scene! I'm looking to connect with performers from ALL theaters on the Island; let me know about the shows you are in and tell me some things about you! I'm kicking things off with my dear friend LAURA LAUREANO who is currently starring as Eva Peron in EVITA at CM Performing Arts Center and we had an absolute blast! Check this conversation out to hear more about the show and where you can catch more of her performances after Evita closes. Evita is currently running at CM until February 24th - tickets are still available at www.cmpac.com and you can read my full review of the production on my website at www.thekylepettyshow.com! #LongIsland #LongIslandTheater #LITheater #theater #evita #storyteller #kylepetty #thekylepettyshow #singer #entertainment #goodvibes #goodtimes #personality #culture #gay #podcast #lipodcast #suffolkcounty #longislandstrong #lgbt #lgbtq
