Water for Elephants swings into Tony season!
Shana Carroll and Jesse Robb discuss combining dance and circus choreography to thrill Broadway audiences. We learn how learn how Grant Guston jumps from a train, Isabelle McCalla flies from a trapeze and performers give life to horses and elephants that steal our hearts. Listen to find out how this show operates differently than any other show on Broadway.
Eila & Bruce also discuss Eddie Redmayne’s Oliver win for Best Actor in a Musical for Cabaret. Not to be missed is their coverage of the Drama League Awards including Sarah Paulson once in a career win.
