The Imperial Theatre has seen its share of electrifying nights, but few experiences hit quite like the new revival of Chess now taking over its stage. After one performance, I told actor Bryce Pinkham that I have never been high, but walking out of the Imperial felt strangely close. The score, the comedy, and that Cold War intensity all blended into something unexpectedly euphoric. Pinkham did not miss the metaphor. He joked, this is not an advertisement for drugs, then admit

Caissie Levy has spent her career bringing complex women to life on Broadway, but her latest role hits closer to home than most. As Mother in Ragtime , Levy steps into one of musical theater’s most beloved figures, a woman whose world expands when she allows empathy to reshape her understanding of herself and of others. In conversation she shared how playing Mother has challenged her, inspired her, and deepened her own ideas of parenthood. Mother enters Ragtime confident tha

For Adams, this moment is more than a professional achievement. It is the fulfillment of a pr

Kevin McHale stepped onto the stage at New World Stages for the official opening of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and, in true Glee fashion, he was immediately surrounded by musical theater energy. With several former castmates making theatrical debuts or returns at the same moment, the night felt like a reunion happening across the entire city. He could not help laughing at the timing. Lea Michele was opening Chess the same night, Alex Newell began starring in

The company of Chess  on Broadway may be delivering one of musical theater’s most iconic scores eight times a week at the Imperial Theatre, but backstage, they are just as entertaining when it comes to which Chess piece they are! Nicholas Christopher set the tone immediately and crowned himself the king, answering with no hesitation. Hannah Cruz followed in equally decisive fashion, calling herself a bishop. Lea Michele leaned into royal energy with queen status while still e

In the newest episode of Broadway Time at Carmine’s, Tony and Olivier Award winner Jak Malone joins host Joel Crump for a lively conversation fueled by laughter, storytelling, and the signature oversized portions Carmine’s is known for. Malone, best known for his breakout performance in the international hit Operation Mincemeat, reflects on the whirlwind journey that took the show from an intimate 80-seat venue in London to a full-scale Broadway run. Malone has been with the

Before our interview even began, Joshua Henry greeted me with a dap that said everything about the energy of the night. It was more than a hello, it was a moment of brotherhood between two generations connected by love for Broadway and the stories that shape us. Henry shared that taking on Coalhouse Walker Jr. in Ragtime  is both personal and deeply emotional. “That’s me as a 19-year-old listening to this score for the first time,” he said, recalling when he first heard Brian

Broadway favorite Kate Baldwin is stepping into the spotlight as Roxie Hart in Chicago , marking a thrilling new chapter in her storied career. While Baldwin is best known for her powerhouse vocals and rich acting work in shows like Finian’s Rainbow  and Hello, Dolly! , this role represents a joyful return to where it all began. “I was in the ensemble of Thoroughly Modern Millie  back in 2002, and that was such a big dance show,” Baldwin shared. “It’s funny, because at the ti

At the heart of The Baker’s Wife  lies a love of community, connection, and of course, baked goods. So when we caught up with the cast, we had to ask one delicious question: what’s your favorite pastry? The answers were as varied and charming as the show itself. From the timeless croissant and buttery pain au chocolat to sweet baklava and tangy lemon danish, every response celebrated the joy of something warm and fresh from the boulangerie. Some cast members went classic with

They may play middle schoolers eight times a week, but the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee  quickly learned that keeping up with today’s slang is a whole different kind of spelling test. During our latest Broadway Time  game, Joel put the cast to the ultimate Gen Z and Gen Alpha challenge, throwing out phrases like “chopped,” “six seven,” “unc,” and “let’s get sendy.” The result? Pure chaos, plenty of laughter, and more than a few questionable definitions.
