Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony-winning director Michael Mayer, whose musical SWEPT AWAY is playing on Broadway through December 15th. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including the process of bringing SWEPT AWAY to Broadway, how Howard Ashman inspired his revival of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, working with new faces on SPRING AWAKENING and AMERICAN IDIOT, how Giulietta Massina inspired his take on FUNNY GIRL, working with Charles Schulz on YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, directing MARNIE and GROUNDED at the Metropolitan Opera, the process of reviving ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, a last-minute switch with UNCLE VANYA, working with Arthur Miller on AFTER THE FALL and A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, his current work on GALILEO, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway’s best directors.
