The Fabulous Invalid is a theatrical production company founded in 2018 by Jamie DuMont and Rob Russo with the mission to illuminate untold stories and fascinating personalities on air and on stage with a reverence for the past, a bold outlook for the future, and a dash of panache. The company takes its name from the title of a 1938 backstage play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that has since become a loving nickname for Broadway itself—always deemed on the verge of decline, yet always bouncing back: the fabulous invalid!
“The Fabulous Invalid Podcast” presents essential conversations with a curated roster of the best, most important, and innovative theatre-makers working today. Hosts Jamie DuMont and Rob Russo released 100 episodes from 2018 to 2021, and continue to release bonus episodes.
As co-producers of Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’ on Broadway, Jamie and Rob are now hosting “DANCIN’ Man: A Fabulous Invalid Podcast” —a limited podcast series featuring exclusive, behind-the-scenes interviews with members of the cast and creative team of this much-anticipated Broadway revival.

All the heart eyes
All I can say is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast. A must for any Broadway fan!
Among the Best
There are many good Broadway podcast out there. This is among the best. Varied in content and a great for any Broadway fan. I’ve learned so much!
Enjoyed for a while but during this lockdown I’ve gone back to the beginning and working my way through. A bright spot at this dark time. Thank you!
Addicted!
I LOVE this Podcast! The thing I love the most is the ease of it. No one seems to be working. Just truly listening and responding to each other but most importantly, listening to their guests. Letting the guest delve into how they got to where they are, and to speak so honestly and openly about their artistry.
The savvy anchor Jamie, the genius of Jennifer and Rob’s ability to ask questions that make us all think, are simply inspiring.
Makes you feel like you know these podcast pioneers!! Feels like family.
Thank you for your diligent work and always making my day just a little better!
