It is hard pressed to find someone who loves musical theatre as much as Emmy and Oscar winning producer Neil Meron. He loves musical theatre so much that he is determined to bring some of the canon's greatest works from the Great White Way into the living rooms of eager audiences all across the world. Along with Craig Zadan, he was the executive producer on the cultural shifts known as NBC's The Sound of Music Live, Peter Pan Live, The Wiz Live, Hairspray Live, Jesus Christ Superstar Live, and on May 19th, 2019, Hair Live. Plus, the television adaptations of Gypsy, Cinderella, Annie, and The Music Man. Oh, and there was the Academy Award winning Chicago and the backstage epic known as Smash. We don't know when he sleeps but we are so glad that he dropped by Shetler Studios to discuss his life and career with Rob and Kevin. Neil pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how his industrious letter writings led to meeting his partner Craig Zadan, what it's like putting together a televised musical event, and why 1776 Live is his dream project! Also, Neil shines the spotlight on Robert Morse, Bette Midler, and Stephen Sondheim! Become a sponsor of Behind The Curtain and get early access to interviews, private playlists, and advance knowledge of future guests so you can ask the legends your own questions.

When NBC aired "The Sound of Music Live" back in 2013, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron thought they were doing a one-off musical event — had no idea that they were reinventing a genre for a whole new generation. But it was a huge hit, leading to Peter Pan Live, The Wiz Live, Hairspray Live and most recently Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. IndieWire's TURN IT ON podcast recently sat down with Zadan and Meron to discuss the challenges of turning Jesus Christ Superstar into a live TV concert event, and how they wanted to honor Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's original intent of making it more of a concert. We also talked about how they plan to stage their next big show -- Hair -- including how they're incorporate the show's infamous nudity on NBC. And we also learned the latest on their plans to stage A Few Good Men and Bye Bye Birdie, as well as, yes, where things stand with bringing SMASH to broadway. But we began by discussing how Jesus Christ Superstar became their next big NBC event. (Music by Omar Khan and Hook Sounds.)

Executive producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan discuss how they're reinventing "Hairspray Live" with a live audience, the challenges of recruiting stars willing to perform live, and why they won't be able to do "Rent"

They have produced the Oscars telecasts since the 85th Academy Awards (2012). They’ve put Broadway on the minds of millions and millions of people, and they sat down with me to talk all about why the theater is important, and . . . The lesson Joe Papp taught them about how to pick a project. Just what is happening with the Broadway production of Bombshell and when??? What Hollywood has taught them and what they think Broadway should learn. How they’ve managed to convince the biggest names in entertainment, from Barbra Streisand to Bette Midler, to do their stuff. And how you can learn to convince people to. Which one reads the chat rooms and which one doesn’t, and how they feel about the social media audience.
