Well y’all, we’ve made it. Our 24th episode marks the finale of our second season, and we could not be more proud of the work we’ve done and more grateful for the support we’ve received from our listeners. We have appreciated having you along to share in our journey! In our second season, we added in some interviews with theatre professionals and cycled through some new co-hosts to bring a fuller (hey it’s my name!) landscape of theatre conversations. And we intend to continue that in Season 3.
We won’t be taking a long break, so don’t fill up your Mondays yet. We’ll be back with some exciting guests announced very soon! In the meantime, pick out some BGP swag and tell your theatre nerd friends to block off Mondays in April for more theatre and more jazz hands.
There are few experiences that bring people together quite like sharing moments of live theatre. In today’s episode, host Sally Fuller continues her conversation with special guest Craig A. Meyer to revisit some of the best performances he saw during his 20 years as a Tony Awards voter. Yes, the words “Audra” and “Norbert” are said, and we discover that though Sally and Craig saw the same show a couple months apart, they witnessed very different versions of John Larroquette.

For the budding theatre fans
What’s it like to see Craig perform in a “virtual” setting these days? It’s a lot like bringing a rock concert into your living room.
For the fangirls
What’s all the fuss about Norbert Leo Butz? EVERYTHING. Watch him in his mesmerizing Tony Award-winning performance as Hanratty in Catch me if You Can at the Tonys.
For the die-hards
As Craig described her, Patti LuPone is the unbeatable Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes, but you can decide for yourself!
Addendums
To answer our question, yes, Alan Cumming’s name was above the title.
