EPISODE 11: Musicals with R Marshall
There’s no business like show business… But what about those wonderful factory workers?!
Dust off your Playbill collection! Today I am tackling the “Great White Way”… musical theater that is!
Talking all things musical (from Broadway and beyond) is R Marshall, a Chicago-based writer, singer, actor, activist, storyteller, and co-pastor of Sanctuary, a virtual spiritual community committed to justice and intersectionality. Additionally, they are co-owner of Six Points Letterpress, a letterpress printing company, and the Lifestyle Editor for MTM Chicago. You may also recognize them as one of the many regulars at Musical Mondays at Sidetrack in Chicago, Illinois as the “loveable” Idina Menzel in “Let It Go” from Frozen!
On today’s episode we dive into our top favourite musicals, the Broadway divas we wouldn’t mind spending time with on a desert island and much more!
Now come along and listen to that “Lullaby of Broadway,” darlings!
