Author and professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner returns to talk about his new biography, Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist, which charts the growth of the award-winning 21st-century composer, lyricist, and cultural juggernaut, and details the many ways in which "artistic genius is a team sport." Pollack-Pelzner shares how he wanted to write something that would inspire his students; and reveals how Miranda agreed to open up his digital rolodex; how he can cite formative influences going back to elementary school; how early book buyers in the UK can win two tickets to see Hamilton in the West End; and most importantly, he stresses the extreme value of editors, especially if they're related to us. (Length 26:00) The post Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

You'll also hear from Director Thomas Kail and co-star Leslie Odom Jr., who played Hamilton's nemesis Aaron Burr. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters We hope you've had a wonderful, safe & festive 4th of July Weekend. We celebrated, for the 5th year straight, by rewatching our favorite patriotic musical on Disney+. Of course, we're talking about Hamilton. While experiencing this phenomenal piece of art, we thought, what would it be like if some of our favorite characters were placed in the key roles of this show? And that led us to this week's main topic which we've titled The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters. With so many fantastic personalities both in this show and in Disney's catalog, there were a lot of ways we could go with this. Listen and see who we settled on to play the likes of the Schuyler Sisters, George Washington, Aaron Burr and, of course, Alexander Hamilton. See if you agree with our selections or if you have ideas for someone different in these roles. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters portion of the show, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we tell you when you may get the chance to get an early preview of Test Track 3.0. We also share who will be rocking the stage at this years EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. And we tell you about an upcoming tour for one of our favorite Disney Princesses; Tiana. You'll also get this week's Lin-Manuel Miranda tidbit as we continue our journey through "The Year of Lin"! Better yet, it's right in the middle of The Hamilton Recast portion of the show and it's done by Michelle. (Who we all know has the best #YearOfLin segments) Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our HyperionAdventurers Facebook Group as well as our HyperionMornings on YouTube for a daily dose of live positive chat!   In case you're looking to take a magical trip, be sure to visit our favorite Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/In 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda badly needed a vacation. He'd just won the Tony for his musical “In The Heights,” he'd been going nonstop. So he took a break, bringing a book with him for poolside lounging: the 800-page biography of America's first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. But what started as a light beach read soon became an obsession. Lin HAD to bring this man's incredible life to the stage. Thus began an epic journey: from the White House, to Lincoln Center, to (eventually) Broadway. “Hamilton” became a massive success, scoring a record 16 Tony noms, the Pulitzer Prize, and $1B+ in revenue. But along the way, Lin and his team had to reckon with a problem: when your show about democracy becomes too exclusive, how do you bring it back to the people? Find out how Ham4Ham broke the B'way mold, how a streaming deal with Disney+ set the stage for Taylor Swift, and why “Hamilton” is the best idea yet.

Re-released for July 4!  The one where we play lots of music and explain what it means. The production company behind Hamilton the Musical gave us the full rights to use and publish their music in our pod – so you'll hear some big numbers in this episode. You'll also learn a lot about history from a hip-hop musical that treats its audience as the intelligent beings that our listeners are! There are some big plot spoilers in here – but no worse than if you simply listen to the musical's soundtrack. On Disney+, Hamilton the musical is rated PG-13, but we spare you the worst of the language here. You will hear ‘d**n' and ‘h*ll' amid the lyrics of the songs we include from the Hamilton musical. (Lin-Manual Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, also composed the music for Moana; the two sound rather different.)  Here are some questions to see how much you understood from today's show: 1. What was James' favourite line from the musical? 2. In the song "Guns and Ships" which country was the superpower and who were they fighting against? 3. What do you think George Washington meant when his character sang "History has its eyes on me"? 4. Do you think different people can believe different versions of the same period of history? 5. Where did they make the new US capital and what is it called? 6. The Hamilton Project found that the musical has what percentage of historical accuracy? Please rate and review us wherever you get podcasts. Look on our webpage for images that accompany each episode. And join us on: Instagram, Twitter and Facebook  Have fun!

The previous episode of Notably Disney featured a conversation on the best Disney villain songs, but as much as we may love some of these tunes, there are also some atrocious ones in the mix and across a variety of platforms, including film, television, and stage.  Over two episodes on Notably Disney, author, professor, and musician Matt Hodge joins host Brett Nachman to examine the songs associated with Disney villains. On this episode they highlight their selections for the worst tunes, including those written by talented musicians like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken.  Learn more about Matt's work by visiting his website. And be sure to purchase a copy of Cool Cats and a Hot Mouse: A History of Jazz and Disney, his award-winning book about Disney and jazz, by visiting Amazon or Barnes and Noble. You can also subscribe to Matt Hodge Music on YouTube.

It's that awkward (and very dramatic) time on Broadway where post-Tony Awards things start to change in major ways! But some things never change - and that is Lindsey bringing you honest reviews of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. This week, she tells us about Angry Alan staring John Krasinski at Studio Seaview and seeing Boop! for a second time, front and center!In Broadway News: 

Jeffrey Seller is an Tony Award-winning American theatrical producer best known for his work on Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights, and Hamilton, as well as inventing Broadway's first rush ticket and lottery ticket policies. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1986, Jeffrey moved to New York City where he worked, as a publicist, booking agent, and producer. With his business partner Kevin McCollum he produced three Best Musical Tony Award-winning Broadway shows; Rent, Avenue Q, and In the Heights. With increasingly expensive Broadway ticket prices, Seller and McCollum invented Broadway's first rush ticket policy early on in the production of Rent. The idea was to keep the show accessible for people “in their 20s and 30s, artists, Bohemians-the people for whom Jonathan Larson wrote the show.” A select number of front row tickets would be sold for $20 on a first come per-serve basis. Rush tickets became so popular that people began to sleep on the streets outside the theater to get a spot at the front of the line. Out of concern for the safety of those who participated in the Rush policy Seller and McCollum created Broadway's first lottery ticket policy, which kept cheap tickets accessible to a young audience by selling $20 tickets to the winners of a drawing. Together Seller and McCollum also produced De La Guarda, Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, High Fidelity, and the revival of WestSide Story. After working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights, he produced Hamilton. Hamilton has gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim and commercial success. In June 2016, Hamilton received 11 Tony awards of a record-breaking 16 nominations, including a Best Musical win for Seller, making it his fourth Tony Award. He is the author of the memoir, Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We also said goodbye to one of our all-time favorite attractions MuppetVision 3D with a visit to the very first & very last shows of it's final day.

In this special Tonys week episode, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Broadway producer Jeffrey Seller to discuss his book Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir, which documents his journey from a childhood of family dysfunction and always feeling like an outsider to thriving as a Broadway producer with four Best Musical Tonys to his credit (Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights and Hamilton). Jeffrey talks about why he decided to write the book, the elementary school teacher who saw what was special in him, always having the self belief to take big swings and confessing his love to his college best friend, who happened to be future Broadway composer Andrew Lippa. He also recalls an early workshop of Tik Tik...Boom! where he was exposed to the work of Jonathan Larson for the first time. He was so knocked out he wrote Larson a long, passionate letter, which led to Seller producing Rent five or so years later. He recalls being similarly knocked out by Lin-Manuel Miranda's talent at an early workshop of In the Heights. Other topics include: the current renaissance of new musicals on Broadway, why he chose to write so frankly about sex in his book, that time his process server father decided he wanted to become a circus clown, what it was like to start making really good money after growing up poor in a neighborhood of Detroit known as "Cardboard Village," the year his underdog puppet musical Avenue Q beat out Wicked for Best Musical, what Hamilton represents during the second Trump administration, Jonathan Larson's tragic and untimely death just as Rent was about to explode on the scene, what Larson's parents told him on the night after they lost their son and much, much more.

This week's Pre-Fixe is SUPERSIZED and has everything: Patti Lupone has apologized to Broadway, Audra McDonald has served GOD-TIER LEVEL SHADE, JoJo Siwa has finally admitted she's dating that man, and Hugh Jackman trades one beard for another! Then, Co-Host of The List Maria Randazzo joins to attempt to fix Lin-Manuel Miranda. They discuss his early career (including a guest spot on The Sopranos?), In The Heights, Hamilton, and how they're not really sure if he needs fixing after all.You can find Maria at @mariafreakingrandazzo and her podcast The List here!You can find Dom at dommentary.com.You can find Chris at @thechrisderosa.Follow the show at @fixingfamouspeople and on YouTube.Subscribe to the Patreon Fixing Bonus People here.And listen to FREE Examples of the Patreon Bonus Content here!Or Subscribe to A La Carte Episodes in the Apple Podcast App.Write a review and let us know who you want us to fix!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

THEATER KID is a coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize-winning musicals-Hamilton and Rent. Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway. But moving to the big city is never easy-especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis-and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre.From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award-all the while finding himself. Told with Jeffrey's candid and captivating voice, THEATER KID is a gripping memoir about fighting through a hardscrabble childhood to make art on one's own terms, chasing a dream against many odds, and finding acceptance and community.As Lin-Manuel Miranda says of THEATER KID, "It belongs on your shelf next to Act One by Moss Hart-if you can manage to put it down; I certainly couldn't."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Light Watkins sits down with holistic health coach, author, and one-percenter Nate Ortiz. Nate's life began in crisis—born with heroin in his system and abandoned in the ICU. What followed was years of instability: foster homes, abuse, addiction in the family, and the trauma of watching loved ones go to prison. But instead of letting that define him, Nate transformed pain into purpose.In this episode, Nate shares how he found his way out of survival mode by pursuing an unlikely dream—earning a full scholarship to the #1 basketball high school in the country—and how he turned that momentum into a life of service, coaching elite clients like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Cordae. He breaks down what's really happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight and why survival mode makes it almost impossible to think clearly or pursue your goals.Through grounded, relatable language, Nate reveals his original frameworks—the Stopwatch Method, Dream Team Jersey, and the One Percenter mindset—that helped him heal trauma, build discipline, and show up consistently for his purpose. Whether you're burned out, stuck, or just trying to level up, this episode is packed with raw truth and practical tools to help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

On today's show, we chat with Melody Noel!For Melody Noel, music is a life force. Born into a family of mariachis spanning across seven generations — with the earliest musician dating back to the 1870s — Melody forged her own path as the first to create music outside the Mexican folk genre.  Melody began her journey in pop music as a member of teen girl group Runway MMC. This experience opened her eyes to the American music scene, working with the likes of Grammy nominated Alex Cantrall (“Leave (Get Out)” by JoJo) and Brandon Howard (“I Ain't Gotta Tell You” by Ne-Yo) for Runway MMC's debut EP “Forever Yours” (2008).  Melody pursued higher education at NYU's Clive Davis School of Recorded Music, graduating in 2014.  Her class project, an EP titled “The Living Room Sessions,” sparked the interest of music publisher Imagem Music; they signed her soon after in 2012.She continued her path as a songsmith in Los Angeles, toplining for songs such as “IDon't Wanna Love You” (Casablanca Records/UMG) by Prince Fox, “In My Head (feat.Georgia Ku)” (Mad Decent) by Party Favor, and “Paper Roses” (Spinnin' Records) by Kura.  In 2016, she co-wrote the single “Love Make the World Go Round” recorded by Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda. Released exclusively on iTunes, all proceeds were donated to those affected by the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL. The song peaked at no. 72 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and no. 9 on the Digital Songs chart. After feeling the pull to write songs for something bigger than herself, Melody pivoted to the Christian music genre, establishing Influence Music in 2017. In 2018, Melody led the worship collective in creating iTunes no. 1 and Billboard no. 2 album “Touching Heaven.” Melody's single “Mistakes” made it on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart for 20weeks. She continues writing and performing songs that are utilized by churches globally.  To date, Melody's songs have been streamed 228 million times across DSPs. Whether writing music for pop icons, film and television or for local congregants, the banner Melody carries over it all is "Soli Deo gloria,” meaning “Glory to God alone.With the release of “Back to Praise” via Influence Music (distr. via Capitol Christian Music Group), Melody is stepping out in faith to accomplish such a mission. This EP consists of five pop-infused worship songs that remind believers that no matter what life brings, God is good, and our response is to keep coming “Back to Praise.” melodynoelmusic.com@melodynoelmusicchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys
