Podcasts about Hadestown

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 34! This might be the world's easiest trivia question, but what multibillion dollar sport began as a fun pastime in Hawaii? If you guessed surfing, you'd be right, and that's our main story this episode.  Long before surf shops, professional competitions, or the Beach Boys songs Surfin' USA and Surfer Girl, people across Polynesia had been riding waves for generations. And Hawaiʻi became the cultural center of surfing. Hawaiians developed surfing, preserved it, and ultimately helped teach much of the rest of the world how to do it.  In this episode we talk about the early history of surfing, how it developed over the years, some of the important people who spread enthusiasm about surfing, and more. In our recurring we discuss what we've been watching and talk about Hadestown in theaters and Beef on Netflix.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Joel “Jay-Ray” Anderson is a drummer that was recently touring with The Wiz.I caught up with him mid-tour. We talked about growing up in a musical family in Fort Lauderdale, learning drums from YouTube and his oldest brother, coming up through the Dillard High School drumline, studying music at Broward College and Florida Memorial University, landing his first tour (Pretty Woman) the week after graduation, and transitioning to The Wiz through a network built one relationship at a time. We got into gospel drumming history, drumline battles, a month spent touring Japan, and why networking, not just chops, is what actually opens doors.Jay-Ray comes from a house full of musicians. His father plays guitar and sings; his oldest brother plays drums and keys; another brother sings, plays drums, and plays saxophone; and a third brother plays bass, guitar, and keys while producing. Jay-Ray's own introduction to the drums came at six years old, when his oldest brother sat him down in front of a kit for the first time. By twelve, he had his own Sonor drum set, a gift from that same brother, and was already teaching himself by copying drumming videos on YouTube.Jay-Ray attended Dillard Center for the Arts, where he played in two jazz bands, marched snare in the wind orchestra and drumline, and got pulled onto snare drum as a freshman after impressing section leader Javon with a string of paradiddles. He talks about the discipline instilled by band directors Christopher Dorsey and Dr. Sheldon McClain, learning traditional grip for the first time, and the intensity of real drumline battles.Jay-Ray studied at Broward College (Associate's in Music Performance) before transferring to Florida Memorial University for his bachelor's degree, where he played under percussion director Taurus Lovely, a 25-year Broadway touring veteran (including Tina Turner: The Musical) who would later become the person who got Jay-Ray his first tour. Jay-Ray's first trip to New York came in 2018, when Dillard's jazz band won the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the same trip where he first saw a Broadway show, Ain't Too Proud.The day after Jay-Ray graduated from Florida Memorial in May 2023, Taurus Lovely called with an audition opportunity for the Pretty Woman national tour. Jay-Ray recorded four songs from the show, landed the gig, and was in rehearsals in Syracuse, New York within months. He talks candidly about the learning curve of running click tracks and Ableton on the road, getting walked through the system by original drummer Kevin Maynard, and the parts of touring nobody warns you about, like setting up and breaking down your own kit on travel days. Over roughly two years with the show, he toured extensively across the U.S. and spent a month performing in Japan (Shinjuku, Tachikawa, Kyoto, and Osaka).Jay-Ray's move to The Wiz came through his network: Sammy Merandino and Quentin “Q” Robinson recommended him, and MD Michael Aarons brought him in. Jay-Ray left Pretty Woman in Wichita and, within a week, was in New York starting rehearsals, spending his off-hours studying original drummer Trevor Holder's book and comparing the Broadway cast recording to the touring arrangement. He also shares how he first met Q Robinson years earlier, showing up at Hamilton's closing show in Fort Lauderdale just to introduce himself.Asked what he'd tell a high school or college drummer chasing a career like his, Jay-Ray's answer is simple: networking. Every opportunity in his career, from Pretty Woman to The Wiz to this very podcast episode, traces back to a relationship someone else made on his behalf.Where to Find Jay-Ray* Instagram & TikTok: @jay.ray04* Facebook: Joel Anderson* Email: joel.r.anderson04@gmail.comResources * Free: How to Land a Broadway Gig Roadmap — subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 (free or paid) and grab it at broadwayboundbook.com/roadmap* The Broadway Sub Playbook ($7.99) — available at signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Drumming 101 merch (backpacks, tees, hats, mugs, and more) — signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career by Clayton Craddock — out nowClayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Based in NYC since 2011, Adam came to New York by way of Houston, TX, where he completed his Master's Degree at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music (2008). Adam grew up in Northeast Ohio, where he attended Cleveland State University (2006). Formally studying classical percussion throughout his education, Adam also actively performed as a freelancer on drum set — his classical background combined with his drum set skills gave him a unique blend that turned out to be very well-suited for musical theater.After playing its out-of-town tryout at Houston's Alley Theatre, Adam had his Broadway debut as the drummer on Frank Wildhorn's WONDERLAND when it transferred to Broadway (Spring 2011). OBCR on Sony Masterworks.With his foot in the door from his first Broadway show, Adam set about the work of subbing and building a reputation in and around the city. Subbing on NYC productions as diverse as RENT, EVITA, MATILDA the Musical, AVENUE Q, CATS, HELLO DOLLY, ANASTASIA, THE PROM, WEST SIDE STORY, COME FROM AWAY, and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS — and many more — Adam routinely demonstrates a wide-ranging versatility. A unique hybrid player, Adam is equally at home on drum set and percussion, excelling in situations that demand both contemporary drum set styles and legit classical/orchestral sensibilities.Adam's most recent NYC chairs include 2017's BANDSTAND on Broadway (TONY Nomination for Best Orchestrations, TONY WINNER for Best Choreography), Jerry Springer the Opera, and Between the Lines with acclaimed writers Samsel & Anderson — where Adam not only played drums and percussion but helped create the percussive mix elements. Adam is often found developing new works in NYC's rehearsal studios, working with established and new writing teams whenever possible. Most recently, Adam subbed on CATS: The Jellicle Ball.Adam has supported many of NYC's finest singers, including Caroline Bowman, Austin Colby, Jordan Dobson, Natalie Weiss, Justin Guarini, Sierra Boggess, Laura Osnes, Josh Young, Orfeh, Andy Karl, Patti LuPone, Jeremy Jordan, Ben Fankhauser, Brian Justin Crumm, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Kacey Velazquez, Loren Allred, Andy Mientus, and Crystal Monee Hall, among many others.When not in the theater, Adam is often found in NYC recording studios playing for singer/songwriters and composers like Desi Oakley, The Jack Mosbacher Band, Michael Mott, and David Mallamud — playing cabaret spots like Feinstein's 54 Below, performing at Lincoln Center, and downtown venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Piano's, and The Bitter End.

In this episode, Ryan and Anthony cover the big news items connected to the world of SCREAM from this summer. They discuss the viral online gossip and false information spread about Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson on Instagram, and her involvement in SCREAM 8. Additionally, Ryan and Anthony muse about Jasmin Savoy's Broadway debut in "Hadestown" this fall, and how that likely means SCREAM 8 will not film until early 2027. With some space before production gets underway, Ryan provides the result of polls conducted about which character fans most want Scream 8 to focus on: Sidney, Gale, or Tatum. The decisive results provide a clear path forward. Ryan and Anthony also exchange views on Neve Campbell reuniting with the Party of Five creators on the HBO drama "The Shore," the plans for Paramount and Warner Brothers to develop a new "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film after years of anticipation, and Christopher Landon's adaptation of "The Final Girl Support Group" novel and Scream Queen casting speculation. Then, Ryan performs this week's '30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions' Interview with longtime Patreon, Sarah, followed by the first Taylor Swift Song of the Week in season six, "I Bet You Think About Me," a vault track from "Red (Taylor's Version)."

My next guest on the Broadway Drumming 101 Classic series is drummer Adam Wolfe, and this is actually a return visit. Adam first joined the podcast years back, when he was known for his work on Wonderland, Bandstand, and Clueless the Musical, on top of subbing everything from Evita to Matilda and Cats.I can speak about Adam from firsthand experience too. He was my only sub on Cats: The Jellicle Ball for a long stretch, until I eventually brought in someone else, a great young drummer who I helped get his first ever Broadway show subbing gig. I was about to start bringing in more subs as the show went on, but we are closing today. That's a story for another time. The point is, that kind of trust doesn't happen by accident. I even heard him play the show himself on Monday, and he's fantastic! I'm genuinely glad to know him and even more glad I get to call him a colleague.In this episode, we get into what it really takes to sub a Broadway show, the times he had weeks to prepare and drilled every bar until he was almost tired of the show before opening night, and the times he got the call with barely any notice and had to cram a stack of fast, dense charts while still working. Make sure you subscribe so you're notified the moment this episode drops. And if you know a drummer who needs to hear this, send it their way.Clayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver dive deep into the real numbers behind WWE's recent live event slump. The duo breaks down SummerSlam's two night ticket sales and explores what it actually takes for Superstars to stay sharp in an era without constant house shows. The conversation heats up as Nash responds directly to The Undertaker's recent criticism of the infamous MSG Curtain Call, offering a blunt perspective on the iconic moment that changed professional wrestling forever. Beyond the squared circle, the discussion shifts to the grueling realities of constant travel and the utter lack of modern airport etiquette. The hosts also explore the chaotic global political landscape, dissecting current US military production capabilities and alarming missile shortages. From military readiness to foreign policy blunders, the episode offers a completely unfiltered take on the modern geopolitical quagmire. The pop culture commentary hits overdrive as they examine sensory shopping at Sephora and the unexpected revelations found within Anthony Fauci's personal diaries. Viewers also get a hilarious reaction to the viral clip of a certain politician falling asleep at a funeral, followed by another wild round of the classic Florida Man versus Jersey Guy game.

eva noblezada spent her whole career refusing to be handled, boxed in, or told who to be. and i need you to hear how she says it. she's a two-time tony nominee — for miss saigon, and for hadestown, the broadway musical that takes a centuries-old greek myth and blows it wide open with jazz, blues, and gospel. eva originated the role of eurydice and made it entirely hers. and hadestown just made history. the live stage capture film beat hamilton for the biggest opening weekend ever for a live stage film — pulling in $10.2 million across nearly 2,000 locations. at its core, it's the story of orpheus and eurydice, about finding hope and holding onto love when the world gives you every reason not to. eva is that story. eva's also starring right now as daisy buchanan in the great gatsby on broadway. this woman does not stop. but none of that is why you need to listen to this. listen because eva talks openly about the moments she had to push back — on directors, on trolls, on an industry built to make people smaller — and she came out the other side more herself, not less. not softer. sharper. we talked about beauty. we talked about power. we talked about what it actually costs to hold your ground — and what it looks like when you just refuse to shrink. eva is exactly what she says she is: a powerhouse, on stage and off. if you needed a sign today that your life is yours to dictate — stop scrolling and press play. listen to this one all the way through. this is your reminder. then go check out hadestown — on stage or now streaming in theaters — and follow eva noblezada everywhere, because you're going to want to keep up with her. watch and listen to our full conversation on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1tq2vuZiWLvhmTMaaWX2w8 eva noblezada's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livevamaria/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet reppin's gram: @reppin_podcast substack: https://substack.com/@reppinpodcast music: dj ace the cut lieutenant here on reppin, we're human first. #evanoblezada #hadestown #misssaigon #eurydice #thegreatgatsby #broadway #tonynominee #reppin #herewerehumanfirst Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the All Local 4:00 P.M. update for Sunday, August 2, 2026.

Spencer Inch is one of those musicians who makes you realize how wide this career can actually be. We talked about his path from Wilton, Connecticut to the national touring circuit, and I kept thinking: this is exactly what Broadway Bound and Beyond is about.Here's what we got into:* Spencer started on drums at age six when his parents bought him a CB700 from a neighbor — he still talks about that kit like it was a Stradivarius* He studied classical percussion at Penn State, then pivoted to jazz drum set at the University of Miami's Frost School — going from big fish to small pond overnight, and what he did about it* He did multiple contracts on cruise ships right out of grad school, playing everything from waltzes to Glenn Miller to German polka with no internet and no time to prepare — and why he says he learned more there than in six years of school* He toured the country opening for the Counting Crows with singer-songwriter Seán Barna — playing to amphitheater crowds of 3,000 to 7,000 people, and the moment the Counting Crows' drummer handed him the sticks to close out a show* He spent a year and a half on the Come From Away national tour playing bodhran — on stage, in the action, 467 shows — after saying yes to an instrument he'd never played before* He's now on the Water for Elephants national tour, a gig that came directly through the music director he built a relationship with on Come From AwayThe throughline in Spencer's story isn't talent. It's relationships, saying yes, and taking every single gig seriously — no matter what it is. The polka gig. The Les Mis at a children's theater. All of it.Watch the full episode above!Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre. He is also the founder of Broadway Drumming 101 and the author of Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.His Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, with additional credits spanning tick, tick…BOOM!, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and subbing on Rent, Motown, Evita, Avenue Q, and the Hadestown tour.Clayton has appeared on The View, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the Tony Awards.

Grab your Comic-Con lanyards and punch your train tickets, because the studio is taking a trip to the underworld! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer are joined by the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy for a massively packed episode discussing the latest in pop culture and a legendary Broadway hit hitting the big screen. The San Diego Comic-Con Aftermath Before the crew boards the train to the underworld, they unpack the massive, earth-shattering news that rocked their pop-culture hearts at last week's San Diego Comic-Con. With the dust settling from the ultimate nerd Mecca, Eddie, Spencer, and Amy unveil what hit them the hardest from the convention floor. The team geeks out over Marvel's historic Hall H presentation, buzzing over the massive announcements of Ryan Gosling joining the MCU as Ghost Rider and the highly anticipated confirmation of Black Panther 3. The trio also dives into the jaw-dropping Avengers: Doomsday trailer, dissecting Robert Downey Jr.'s terrifying debut as Victor Von Doom and what it means for the future of the cinematic universe. A Cinematic Journey to Hadestown Once the convention hype is unpacked, the team ventures far below to review their cinematic experience of the absolute box-office juggernaut, Hadestown: The Musical. The crew discusses the historic achievement of the professional live stage capture, which was filmed with the original Broadway cast in London and just shattered the theatrical record previously held by Hamilton. Eddie and Amy are Team Hadestown 100%, wholly celebrating the impeccable artistry, the breathtaking musicality of Anaïs Mitchell's score, and the phenomenal performances of stars like Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada. However, things get a little heated as they try to understand Spencer's deep frustrations with the narrative execution of the century-old myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. While the entire table admires the sheer talent in every scene, Spencer reveals a few major reservations before he books his next ticket to ride this train again. Is this pro-shot a masterpiece of modern theater, or does the myth get lost in the music? It's time to raise a cup and find out! You can catch The Filmlosophers podcast now streaming on all major platforms!

Earlier this week I brought back the audio of one of my favorite conversations from the vault. Today, the full video version is here.If you missed the audio episode, here's the short version: in 2018, Mariana Ramirez became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show, subbing Once On This Island. A year later she held the percussion chair on that show's national tour. Then came sub work on Head Over Heels (drumset book) and Ain't Too Proud, plus Off-Broadway runs of Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.Today she holds the percussion chair at the hit Broadway show SIX.But watch this interview and you'll see the chair is just one piece of a much bigger career.Mariana began her studies at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City, where she won the percussion position at the Carlos Chávez Youth Orchestra, then earned her Bachelor of Music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, picking up the Percussive Arts Society Thomas Siwe Scholarship along the way.She founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis — the first multinational all-female percussion quartet in the U.S. — which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, called one of the most innovative and exciting ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Zeltsman Marimba Festival, Tippet Rise in Montana, and the Newport Classical Music Festival, and in 2024 the group received Chamber Music America's highest grant.Her recording credits include Platinum Girls and Song of Solomon on Broadway Records, and a concerto for bandoneon and violin with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. She has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, and premiered new works at Alice Tully Hall. She's appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in Mozart in the Jungle. She won the FONCA grant for Mexican artists twice in a row, touring an original percussion-and-dance project across five Mexican cities. She teaches. She's endorsed by Sabian, Pearl, and Innovative Percussion.Traditional Mexican music. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. Education. And eight shows a week on Broadway.Nobody builds a career like that by waiting for the phone to ring. Watch the conversation and you'll understand exactly how she did it — starting with a Santana concert in Mexico City when she was 11 years old, watching three percussionists light up a stadium and deciding, right there, what her life was going to be.Watch the full interview above.The audio version is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify if you'd rather listen on the go.And coming up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. Stay tuned — that one's going to be worth the wait.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Is there actually more of a “crisis of meaning” in the smartphone AI age? Is it more likely the case that the vast majority of humans always been perfectly happy to accept whatever meager meaning happens to come their way, with a small, hand-wringing set of elites always freaking out that the latest thing is bad?
