Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP! Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero. Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously “realistic” production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society. This one was a HOOT.

Berry Gordy took her OUT and called her “baby” “One More Time” in First Wives Club “How do you know if someone has lived through trauma — by the way they get someone who doesn't like them, to like them.” Cole Escola of Oh, Mary! on CBS Sunday Morning Was in first 6 episodes of High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell (based on AbFab and Faith played the Saffy character) Faith Prince's “Men” from Nick & Nora. The show was a notorious flop. Arthur told Faith she was making a big mistake by leaving show to do Guys & Dolls. Mary Rodgers told her she could find a way into Anna through Gertrude Lawrence, who was a comedienne. Was offered the role of Audrey in the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors Went to CCM with Jim Walton Had taken the revue, Scrambled Feet and was doing an IBM industrial so couldn't' take LSOH Lance Roberts is currently in Just in Time Ellen Greene did Adelaide at The Hollywood Bowl Studied Donna Murphy who she replaced in The King & I and then did Wonderful Town (at LA Opera) Katie Finneran talked with us about James Lapine's realistic interpretation of Annie and Miss Hannigan in the 2012 revival. Said it was a challenge in the NYT. Re the 2012 revival of Annie: Andrea McArdle said “I didn't know we were doing Secret Garden” Associate Director Wes Grantham LOVES HUMOR, unlike Lapine Martin Charnin & Charles Strouse KISSED HER FEET when they visited her backstage John Doyle who directed A Catered Affair also backs away from the humor We love Bells are Ringing - Faith starred in the 2001 Broadway revival. Difficult because of Mitchell Maxwell who produced Had to ride an actor in Grey's Anatomy because character's IUD got stuck on her ex-husband's Prince Albert penis piercing Does some great character work in the indie film Our Very Own (got gig from doing reading of The Women with Allison Janney) IMDB lists her on an ep of Mad Men. INCORRECT. Martin Short was in Dennis Quaid movie, Innerspace My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies was an incredible, formative concert Managing Ursula costume in The Little Mermaid was worse than managing the wig in her Lifetime movie with Kathleen Turner, Friends at Last Vicki Lewis told us she held Dixie Carter's spit cup in a production of Mame she was in with Faith Christopher Walken kept pickled things in the pockets of his costume during James Joyce's The Dead (Marni Nixon was also in the show) We interviewed Annaleigh Ashford who is maybe made in the mold of Faith Prince Damian is seeing an Italian production of Cats / Anne is seeing her nephew do Grease Jr. in Sicily DUCK ASS HAIR for Danny Zuko
On this episode I talked with Lizzy about her journey as a performer — from falling in love with musical theatre as a kid watching The Wizard of Oz and Smash, to her first big role as Gabriella in High School Musical, to finding her artistic voice at Texas State University with the guidance of incredible mentors. We talked about her first professional experience in Rent in New Orleans, the challenges and growth that came from it, and her exciting Broadway debut in Boop the Musical! Lizzy shares what it was like going through the Boop audition process, including an intense dance call with Rachelle Rak, how she learned the whole show in just a week, and what it means to her to be in the ensemble and understudy both Betty and Trisha. She also talks about the joy of working with legends like Jerry Mitchell, the importance of bringing her own voice to her work, the power of storytelling, and so much more!
The legendary David Foster and Katharine McPhee join the podcast for an iconic episode where I interrupt Kat's voice lessons and David explains why I convinced him to adjust the song “Hero” for the Boop: The Musical soundtrack. David talks his impressive career creating the careers of Céline Dion and Whitney Houston, creating Boop: The Musical, and spills all sorts of music industry tea. Katharine discusses her upcoming album and even breaks out into song during the episode. David and Kat explain how their pandemic performances at home turned into a five year tour spanning 2025, how they navigate working together as a couple, their controversial banter, who in the Hadid family David still has a relationship with, and answers tons of listener questions. David also explains why the current artists he wants to work with are Ed Sheeran, Kendrick Lamar, and Raye. So much juicy conversation... you must watch the full thing!

With warmth, humor, and an eye for the details that make live performance special, Erich reflects on what it means to balance ego with humility, how to protect the laughs without sacrificing story, and why the audience must always come first. This is a candid and inspiring conversation with someone who's experienced just about every twist and turn show business can offer.

Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died at the age of 88. During his papacy, Francis challenged the church's deeply rooted norms and made it his mission to change the perception of the Catholic Church around the world. Pope Francis, hours before his death, marked Easter Sunday with an appearance at St. Peter's Basilica. Much to the glee of faithful in the courtyard, Francis rode in the popemobile a mere three weeks after he was released from a five-week life-threatening stay in the hospital. CBS News' Chris Livesay reports from Rome. Tributes from around the world have begun to pour in, including one from Vice President JD Vance, one of the last people to have a meeting with Francis before his death. CBS News' Ed O'Keefe reports from the White House. John Allen, a longtime observer of the Catholic Church and editor of the Catholic news site "The Crux," reacts to Pope Francis' death. And Candida Moss, CBS News papal contributor, discusses Francis' legacy. George Clooney made his Broadway debut in "Good Night, and Good Luck," playing CBS News legend Edward R. Murrow. Clooney talks to "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King about preparing for the role in our "Road to the Tonys" series. Jasmine Amy Rogers has been called "Broadway's newest star" for her standout performance as Betty Boop in "BOOP! The Musical." The actress talks to "CBS Mornings" about navigating the colorful role and how it has impacted her. Organizers of the Boston Marathon are marking a milestone on Monday — 50 years since trailblazing wheelchair athlete Bob Hall helped change who is allowed to compete. "CBS Saturday Morning" co-host Dana Jacobson has his remarkable story.

My guest this week is the three-time Tony award-winning Broadway orchestrator Doug Besterman, whose 31 Broadway musicals include The Producers, Fosse, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and his very first show, the 1991 revival of Damn Yankees, to name only a few. During this current Broadway season, Besterman will achieve something unheard of in his field: he will have three big musicals — Death Becomes Her, Boop!, and Smash — all running simultaneously on Broadway. Making it even more remarkable, two of those shows began previews on the same night and now open on Broadway in the same week. Besterman's film credits include the live-action version of Beauty and The Beast and Frozen. TV credits include the Marc Shaiman/Scott Witman compositions for Smash, ABC's version of Annie, The Sound of Music Live, and Peter Pan Live. As Tony Award-winning choreographer Susan Stroman's orchestrator of choice, his work has been heard on Little Dancer (co-orchestrator with Larry Hochman) at The 5th Avenue Theatre and the Kennedy Center and Crazy for You at Chichester Festival and on the West End. His most recent regional work was the World Premiere of Schmigadoon at the Kennedy Center and Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil at the Goodman Theatre. Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!
