This story of mind-blowing resilience is a wake-up call for anyone feeling stuck, sidelined, or afraid to bounce back. On a recent episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the joy of speaking with global wellness pioneer Dan Metcalf—international performer turned brain-injury survivor, Olympic coach, and now CEO of Total Balance Company and Born Superhuman.   Hard to believe this superhuman got in touch with me to see if I was interested in uncovering how we could inspire listeners together.  Here's what I read when I opened his blind email to me. Hey Debbie. “I've been following The Debbie Nigro Show and truly appreciate the inspiring stories you bring to light. I believe I could add a compelling angle to your discussions with my unique journey in health and mental resilience. As someone who has performed live for over 5,000,000 people globally and played lead roles in Andrew Lloyd Webber shows, I've learned resilience like no other, especially after being paralyzed during a performance. This experience resulted in a brain injury in 2018, leading to partial brain death, but through sheer determination, I've completely recovered and continued to inspire others.” I wrote him back….” You had me at Hey Debbie!” lol   SO… here's Dan Metcalfs story. Once paralyzed during a live performance of Starlight Express in Las Vegas, doctors told Dan he'd never walk again. Instead of giving in, he rewrote the script of his life—and proved them wrong. By tapping into the brain's natural ability to heal, he discovered how to turn trauma into transformation. “Why be a victim when you can be a hero?” Dan said. “And the hero isn't for other people—it's for yourself.” Now fully recovered (after surviving two traumatic brain injuries), Dan's groundbreaking work in brain-to-body mobility training is helping over 70,000 people worldwide—including individuals with Parkinson's, MS, and seniors at risk of falling—reclaim their balance, strength, and sense of self. Dan is living proof of the extraordinary potential within us all. From performing for millions in Andrew Lloyd Webber shows to creating life-changing innovations in human performance, his journey embodies the unwavering determination and resilience we all have access to. He's trained tens of thousands—and learned from every real-life obstacle he's faced. “Turn hope into belief,” he says. “We are all born superhuman.”   Life Changing Training for Aging Longevity Dan Metcalfs' Total Balance Board system isn't about fancy equipment—it's about reactivating the miracle machine we already have: the brain. When he first created the now-patented training system, Dan had no idea just how dynamic its impact would be. At its core, Total Balance is based on the belief that no challenge is unbeatable when met with determination, creativity, and empathy. His methods are redefining what's possible in both peak performance and physical rehabilitation—at every age. “Balance is the foundation of a successful physical life,” Dan says, “and my passion lies in helping people overcome challenges with movement, stability, and confidence.”   Key Takeaways: Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related death in seniors. Dan's system helps rewire the brain to prevent them. His motto? “We don't stop playing because we age. We age because we stop playing.” He believes we all have superhuman potential—and he's living proof.   From performing for 5 million people to coaching Olympic athletes and now as a highly in demand motivational speaker, Dan Metcalf is showing the world that comeback stories aren't just possible—they're powerful. His story isn't just about survival—it's a blueprint for unlocking the extraordinary in all of us. “Never underestimate the power you have. Every challenge has a solution.” — Dan Metcalf, Born Superhuman   Catch this wildly powerful and inspiring conversation with Dan Metcalf on this week's episode of The Debbie Nigro Show!

Join Matt and me for Episode 132 as we close out our journey through Andrew Lloyd Webber's movie musicals with the most baffling, bedazzled entry of them all: Cats (2019). Yes, that movie—the one with digital fur technology, floating Judi Dench monologues, and enough odd choices to fill a Heaviside Layer of think pieces.We're joined by Ryan Halbrook as we unravel what went wrong—and what maybe could've gone right. Matt actually really liked it (bless his Jellicle heart), so we promise this isn't just a cinematic roast.

Sir Tim Rice, lyricist extraordinaire, is Gyles's guest today. Tim is one of the few people in the entertainment world to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award, and his songs for shows like Joseph, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Chess and the Lion King are known and loved all around the world.

Rosie and Nicola Dempsey are otherwise known as the comedy music double act Flo and Joan.

But now we understand why, since they were writing their show One Man Musical which is about Andrew Lloyd Webber. They've just been performing the show for the last month, garnering a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival awards, which will be announced after this episode is uploaded.

In this episode, we step into the world of faded glamour, haunting melodies, and Hollywood dreams that refuse to die. Sunset Boulevard, Andrew Lloyd Webber's lush and dramatic musical, brings Billy Wilder's iconic film to life on stage, telling the story of Norma Desmond, the once-great silent film star who longs for a triumphant return to fame. We'll explore everything that makes Sunset Boulevard a musical masterpiece—from its soaring score and unforgettable performances to its behind-the-scenes drama and cultural impact. You'll find out why Patti Lupone (allegedly) tore her dressing room apart, named her pool the “Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial,” and what ignited one of the biggest feuds in Broadway history! Join us as we delve into the show's origins, its many legendary Normas, and how it continues to captivate audiences decades after its premiere. So…are you ready for your close-up on Sunset Boulevard? And join us over on our Facebook and Instagram pages to tell us what you think!

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of BroadwayCon, we hosted a panel with the cast and creative of Cats “The Jellicle Ball” discussing their historic production. We were joined by director Bill Rauch along with Sydney James Harcourt, Dudney Joseph Jr., and Robert “Silk” Mason from the cast. About the Production: Cats: “The Jellicle Ball” is a radical reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical based on T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, inspired by the Ballroom culture that roared out of New York City over 50 years ago and still rages around the world. Staged as a spectacularly immersive competition by Zhailon Levingston and Artistic Director Bill Rauch. “I have rarely seen an audience respond with as much joy and love as I saw recently at Cats: ‘The Jellicle Ball'. The atmosphere was, quite simply, electric. Cats and Ballroom culture both emerged in the same era and I am delighted that, all these years later, they are intersecting once again. I want to congratulate the entire team behind this special show!” – Andrew Lloyd Webber Produced by: Alan Seales & Broadway Podcast Network Social Media: @TheWrongCatDied Learn more about your ad choices.

Dylan and Connor are joined by Sydney James Harcourt (Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Hamilton's Original Broadway Company). The twins can't help but discuss The Traitors (Bob the Drag Queen! Dorinda Medley!) before diving into this wonderful conversation. Sydney James Harcourt is hot off the runway of Cats: The Jellicle Ball! He spills on the experimental magic of staging this Andrew Lloyd Webber revival, the “syndrome” audience members developed post-ball, and his dreams of playing Rum Tum Tugger on Broadway and beyond. This Hell's Kitchen resident also shares his favorite spots in the neighborhood, reminisces on learning to vogue in the clubs, and how Singin' in the Rain led him to Interlochen Arts Academy. Sydney speaks candidly about the “realness” category he's been walking his entire career, being part of Hamilton as it became a global phenomenon, and even his fitness routine as a triple threat. Stick around for chatter about RuPaul's first book “Letting It All Hang Out,” Billie Eilish and Yebba, and Michelle Visage's iconography in the world of ballroom.
