Today, I am so thrilled to announce my episode with Tony-winning librettist Robert Horn, currently the author of Broadway’s funniest hit Shucked and the Disney adaptation Hercules, now playing at the Paper Mill Playhouse. Tune in today for a deep dive into the history of Shucked, plus stories about a surprise phone call from Bette Midler, comiing in on the musical 13 out of town, the challenges of adapting Tootsie during the #MeToo movement, taking over the TV series Designing Women, three favorite pilots of his that didn’t get picked up, how he almost adapted Funny Girl, being mentored by Thomas Schumacher and Bob Boyett, his many new projects, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this masterclass from one of Broadway’s funniest people!
