To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In this classic episode of Broadway Drumming 101, I chat with the multi-talented percussionist Joshua Mark Samuels, whose Broadway journey spans from singing and dancing as a child in California to holding down chairs in some of the biggest shows on Broadway and Radio City.We initially chatted in October of 2021, but I wanted to share this episode again. It's funny, thought-provoking, and incredibly informative. Episode Highlights:* Early Musical Roots: Josh shares stories of growing up in L.A., starting drum lessons at the age of two and a half, and learning music theory from his legendary uncle, Dave Samuels.* Dual Passions: How Josh navigated his love for both performing on stage and playing in orchestras, eventually fusing both into a career in musical theater.* Cruise Ship Hustle: Becoming a music director at age 21 and realizing pit drumming was his true calling.* Move to NYC: Josh recounts his unexpected relocation to New York and how one subway ride introduced him to Broadway drummer Gary Seligson, kick-starting his networking journey.* Landing Marvelous Wonderettes & Godspell: Hear how obsessive preparation, transcriptions, and laser-focused practice helped Josh build a strong reputation as a sub.* Radio City Christmas Spectacular: What it's really like to play 200+ shows in two months with the Rockettes—and why this gig is one of the most demanding in the business.* Subbing Philosophy: Learn why being effective matters more than being right, how to take notes without ego, and why watching the conductor is non-negotiable.* Building a Career: Josh offers insight into the importance of relationships, people skills, and being someone others want to be around, on and off the bandstand.Key Takeaways:* “Subbing is a people game. It's not just about chops—it's about trust.”* “Obsessive preparation isn't about showing off—it's about honoring the gig.”* “You don't succeed on Broadway because you're the best player. You succeed because you're the best fit.”About Joshua Mark Samuels:Josh currently holds the drums/percussion chair at Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway. His resume includes work on notable productions such as Beetlejuice, Aladdin, Miss Saigon, Jersey Boys, Chaplin, Godspell, A Bronx Tale, and Sunset Boulevard, among others. He's performed all three percussion books (drums, timpani, mallets) at Radio City's Christmas Spectacular, and he's a respected clinician and educator with presentations at NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Rutgers, and Temple University.He proudly endorses Vic Firth, Sabian Cymbals, MalletKat, and TreeHouse Drums.Website: joshuamarksamuels.comSubscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 on your favorite podcast platform, and visit BroadwayDrumming101.com for more content, resources, and merch.Don't forget to rate, review, and share this episode with fellow musicians and theater fans!Clayton Craddock founded Broadway Drumming 101, an in-depth online platform offering specialized mentorship and a carefully curated collection of resources tailored for aspiring and professional musicians.Clayton's Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical.

From recreating music videos on VHS as a kid to being cast by Clint Eastwood with no callback, Erich Bergen's path in entertainment has always been uniquely his own. In this episode, he shares the early influences that sparked his creativity—like turning Brio trains into the New York subway system—and how his love of producing was hiding in plain sight even as he pursued a performance career. Erich also opens up about getting fired from Jersey Boys only to land Gossip Girl a week later, and the call that led him to originate a role in Boop! on Broadway after years of stepping into shows that had already opened. 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. Erich Bergen is known for his performances as Bob Gaudio in both the Broadway and film versions of Jersey Boys, as Blake Moran in Madam Secretary, and on stage in Waitress and Chicago. He is also a producer of large-scale live events and currently stars as Raymond in Boop! The Musical on Broadway.

Tomorrow night, Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs, New York presents “An Evening with Tituss Burgess.Burgess is a marvelous singer and hilarious actor - with range in more ways than one. His Broadway credits include “Good Vibrations,” “Jersey Boys,” “Guys and Dolls,” and “Moulin Rouge!” In 2008, he originated the role of Sebastian in the Broadway adaptation of Disney's “The Little Mermaid.”As for TV: We'll start with an early credit: a recurring role as D'Fwan on NBC's “30 Rock.”Burgess then bodied and embodied Titus Andromedon on Netflix's “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” Andromedon was a talented - though entitled and mostly unmotivated - performer and roommate to Ellie Kemper's title character. Since breaking out (ahem) on "Unbreakable," Burgess' career as an on-screen actor, voice actor and host has thrived.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Annelle Sheline, research fellow in the Middle East program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, to discuss the reporting around a recently brokered ceasefire deal in Israel & Gaza. Then, she speaks with Jael Holzman, senior reporter at HeatMap News, to discuss her recent piece entitled "The Growing Push to Ban Renewable Energy in Oklahoma." First, Emma runs through updates on Netanyahu's torpedoing of the alleged ceasefire, including an escalation killing dozens more in Gaza, ProPublica's report on Biden's suppression of dissent over Gaza, Trump's CEO cabal, the US' TikTok Ban, Trump's AG nom, the FTC's report on UnitedHealthcare's overcharging of cancer patients by nearly 1000%, and compensation for women's college basketball players, before expanding briefly on the odd power plays between Trump and Biden over the developing TikTok Ban. Dr. Annelle Sheline then joins, diving right into this week's development of a predictably brief ceasefire in Gaza, including Netanyahu's immediate refusal to abide by its requirement and the following escalation resulting in some 70 dead, unpacking why Bibi has once again sabotaged a deal, why Trump still wants peace for his inauguration, and why Netanyahu's sights for the second Trump Administration are set on the West Bank. Next, Dr. Sheline and Emma shift to unpacking the future of the normalization attempt between Israel and Saudi Arabia – a process that the Biden Administration happily picked up off of Trump 1.0 – and the genuine danger of Trump extending the guarantee of uncritical military support that we provide Israel to Saudi Arabia as well, before wrapping up with a conversation on the particular role the Biden Administration's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza had on undermining support for Kamala Harris' candidacy. Jael Holzman then looks to Oklahoma as she walks Emma through the developing push to ban renewable energy projects locally, exploring how the expansion of the industry alongside a growing reactionary movement helped bolster this drive, despite its obvious potential negative impacts. Expanding on this, Holzman and Emma briefly explore the evolution of this “Green MAGA” movement as exemplified by RFK Jr., and the increasing problem of a green energy incentive structure based on tax credits, before wrapping up by tackling the extractive and material incentives for Trump's fantasy land grab of Greenland. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they dive deep into the exposé of Elon Musk's gamer fraud, talk with Jersey Boy from Milwaukee about engaging in disagreement, and watch Sam Husseini's righteous and confrontational action at Blinken's final press conference. Jay from Oregon unpacks some finer details of the nurses' strike, Pete Hegseth shies away from promising not to be a hypocrite, and Jeff from CA shares his insight into Hegseth's problematic history when it comes to a Defense Secretary nomination, plus, your calls and IMs!
