A show with a mistreated orphan, drugs, violent gangs, and 80s aerobics, mixed with the pizzazz and flash of a standard, cookie cutter Broadway Musical? What could go wrong? Mark and John, navigate the podcast's first interview, with Broadway stars Richard H. Blake and Tony Galde, and with their guidance, discover what made Prince abdicate its throne at the Belasco after four short performances.Prince of Central Park- 1989- The Belasco TheatreMusic by Don SebeskyLyrics by Gloria NissensonBook by Evan H. Rodes

In episode 29, Little Me host and Broadway Workshop director, Marc Tumminelli catches up with Broadway superstar - Richard H. Blake! Richard shares his incredible story of making his Broadway debut at the age of 12 in 1987 in the musical Teddy and Alice, moving directly to MACBETH on Broadway alongside Christopher Plummer, Glenda Jackson and Cherry Jones on Broadway and then becoming the youngest person in history to have his name above the title in a Broadway show when he starred as the title character in Prince of Central Park. A show that would run for just 4 performances. Richard touches on all his wild Broadway success in Rent, Saturday Night Fever, Hairspray, The Wedding Singing, Legally Blonde, Aida, Wicked, Jersey Boys and the recent hit musical A Bronx Tale. Richard tells Little Me listeners about passing on the New Mickey Mouse club, the wild backstage story of rehearsing, performing and the untimely closing of Prince of Central Park, working with Jo Anne Worley, Nanette Fabray, Len Cariou, Laura Bell Bundy, Marie Osmond, Orfeh and Michael Eisner, Touring in the Sound Of Music, Footloose, and A Bronx Tale, the wild fan reaction to Legally Blonde on Broadway and so much more!

Volvemos con el segundo volumen dedicado al compositor Alan Menken, completando su etapa inicial de la que ya nos ocupamos en el podcast anterior y que ahora abarcaremos desde el año 1997 a la actualidad, arrancando con "Hércules" y terminando con algunas curiosidades y temas rechazados para que os hagáis una idea de la capacidad de este músico que quería ser un cantante como sus idolatrados Billy Joel o Elton John, hasta que descubrió las enormes posibilidades que le ofrecía el teatro musical. En este volumen conoceremos otros trabajos no tan conocidos pero cuya calidad no admite duda y ahí tenéis para demostrarlo desde el oratorio de "King David", películas como "Encantada", "Enredados" o "Zafarrancho en el rancho" a musicales como "Sister act", "Leap of faith", " A Bronx tale" o "The apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" que compuso en 1987 y pudo estrenar por fin en 2015 en Canada. También hemos incluido una selección de las canciones para la serie televisiva  "Galavant" y algunas curiosidades como temas que compuso para "Rocky V", musicales que no llegó a terminar como "Baby" o "The little princess" y cerramos el podcast  con tres temas rechazados para "Little shop of horrors".

Richard H. Blake and Broadway's Michelle Aravena about "Bronx Tale."

Welcome back to Nothing Shines Like Dirt: Empowering Actors to Create episode 5. Today we have Nik Walker; actor,writer, poet,musician, movie nerd, and above all human. We have a little convo about his new musical Whiskeyland, being true to yourself, and you never know where an audition will take you! A graduate of the acting program at NYU Tisch, he's been fortunate enough to work at some of America's best theaters- The Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse and Westport Country Playhouse, to name a few- and made his Broadway debut in 2013 with Motown the Musical. His rock fable Whiskeyland! is currently being developed through Richard H. Blake's Last Call Theatricals, and he recently completed work on his latest, a 3 hander thriller entitled Uncle Jackie. Nik lives in Queens with his lovely bride-to-be Sarah and their cat, Ferris. Website: nikwalkersworld.com FB:Nik Walker Twitter and Instagram: @nikkywalks
