Showmance is about a down-on-his-luck Broadway playwright who is marooned in rural Illinois in this sharply funny queer rom-com. Chad knows a lot about the Broadway industry since he is a six-time Tony Award nominee, and his Broadway works include The Prom, Disney's Aladdin, Elf and The Wedding Singer. He also co-wrote the screenplay for The Prom, currently available on Netflix. Because I can't help myself, I asked Chad about his relationship to Wicked, and he reveals how Stephen Schwartz, the composer, has been such a wonderful mentor to him. He shares how Schwartz provided valuable feedback and guidance during the development of The Wedding Singer and expresses admiration for Wicked's important messages about acceptance. I ask Chad what he thinks about The Wedding Singer's recent resurgence in popularity with younger audiences and ask him what he thinks about it being revived? And because Laura Benanti's recent interview on That's a Gay Ass Podcast has made headlines (mostly because of her critique of Zachary Levi), I ask Chad what he thinks about Laura apologizing to him and Matthew Sklar (his writing partner) about negative comments she's made about her experience in the musical? Then, Chad discusses the process of writing his first novel, Showmance, and the differences between the structured, collaborative nature of musical theater and the more solitary, open-ended approach of novel writing. And finally, Chad shares details about his upcoming musical projects, including a new farce called Horrible People and an adaptation of the novel Something Fabulous, which he describes as a "gay Bridgerton." Throughout the interview, Chad's creative commitment to creating more queer-centric stories and characters shines through!

My guest is six-time Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin, who has created book & lyrics for Broadway musicals The Prom, Disney's Aladdin, The Wedding Singer, and Elf. Today, he joins me to discuss his captivating new novel set in the world of theater, SHOWMANCE. The beautifully crafted plot of Showmance opens on the disastrous opening night of a new Broadway musical — Stage Of Fools — with book, music, and lyrics by Noah Adams, the novel's central character. The scorching reviews the show receives, coupled with a family emergency, send Noah back to his Podunk hometown of Plainview, Illinois, where he figures he can hide out for a bit and lick his wounds. There, to his horror, he discovers that his agent (and longtime boyfriend, Chase) has secretly arranged for him to stage an amateur production of his musical at the hometown community theater he grew up in. And, of course, he also runs into Luke, the hot, sexy jerk from high school, whom he may have misjudged, all of which sets the stage for a delightful and often hilarious romantic comedy.

Producing theater is often difficult and never a guarantee. In fact, anything produced for the stage can be hit or miss. Just a few hours before I sat down to record this intro, a concert of Lerner & Loewe music that I was producing had to be canceled. Artists were dropping out and audiences weren't buying tickets. It was tough to let it go, but there came a point where the venue had to cut its losses. This was just a concert at a cabaret venue, so imagine the greater disappointment and loss when a Broadway show doesn't open. In the previous episode with Chad Beguelin, he shared how one of his musicals was headed to Broadway, until it wasn't. He turned that heartbreak into his debut novel Showmance that was released earlier this month. Well, he's back to talk about what has kept him going and what making it really means to him as he answers the final five questions here on this bonus episode of Why I'll Never Make It.  --- To listen to bonus content like Auditions Stories and get early access to these full conversations ad-free, become a subscriber today.

In the world of Broadway, success can seem like a dazzling dream. But behind every show that makes it to the stage, there are countless moments of uncertainty and setbacks. For writers, especially, the journey from writing a script to getting it produced is anything but predictable. As an actor, I know firsthand that without writers, I wouldn't have a character to play or lines to say. It's their words that bring us to life on stage, and one of my greatest joys is collaborating with writers—especially on new works—helping to refine characters and the dialogue that shapes them. And our guest today knows a little something about that unpredictable journey. Chad Beguelin is a six-time Tony nominee and five-time Drama Desk nominee for his lyrics and book writing. And while he may not have any wins yet for his work, his shows have sure have been big hits with audiences, musicals like Aladdin, The Prom, Elf, and The Wedding Singer. However, his career has taken some surprising turns as well. He's been hung up on by a Broadway producer, he's tried venturing into motion pictures, and earlier this month he just released his debut novel called Showmance. Through it all, Chad has learned that success in this industry is never guaranteed, and perseverance is everything. But as you'll hear, even when a show seems poised for greatness, things can unravel in ways no one could predict. ---------- Subscribe to get ad-free access to the full conversations, which include auditions stories.

About SHOWMANCE: Noah Adams's career as a playwright is circling the drain, thanks to a scorching review of his first Broadway musical. So when a family emergency sends him back to his Podunk hometown of Plainview, Illinois, he figures he'll hide out for a bit. But to Noah's horror, his agent has secretly arranged for him to stage an amateur version of the career-ruining musical at the local community theater. As if trying to work with a bunch of artless amateurs wasn't enough, Noah runs into Luke, the jerk from his high school years, everywhere he goes. Luke somehow grew up to be beloved by everyone in town…and undeniably gorgeous. As rehearsals begin, Noah is surprised by his cast's insights, the warmth of the town he'd dismissed, and the reality of what happened with Luke all those years ago. Just how much has Noah misjudged?
