By: Broadwaysted Nov. 27, 2018
This December, the popular theatre podcast Broadwaysted is once again releasing a star-studded parody radio play to celebrate the holiday season...and this time, it's a musical!
Jeremy Jordan (American Son, TV's "Supergirl"), James Monroe Iglehart (Hamilton, Aladdin), and Michael Cerveris (Fun Home, Assassins) lead the cast of It's A Broadwaysted Life!--a spoof of the Frank Capra classic "It's a Wonderful Life"--that airs as a month-long campaign to sponsor students of the non-profit Broadway Bound Kids!
Also starring Jenn Gambatese (School of Rock, Disney's Tarzan), Aaron J Albano (Cats, Newsies), Brendon Stimson (Mean Girls, Newsies), Hayley Podschun (Hello Dolly, Paper Mill's Holiday Inn), Tee Boyich (Mean Girls), Caesar Samayoa (Come From Away), Mykal Kilgore (NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live!, Encores! Songs for a New World), Antoine L. Smith (Carousel, The Color Purple), Jeremy Kushnier (Head Over Heels, Footloose), Hannah Elless (Bright Star, The Other Josh Cohen) and Jared Zirilli (Summer, Lysistrata Jones) and introducing Madison Stratton (New York City Center's Brigadoon) in the role of Mary, this three-part event features Special Appearances by Andrew Briedis, Robbie Rozelle, Jay Schmidt, and Justin "Squigs" Robertson.
As an added bonus, It's A Broadwaysted Life! also proudly features David Contreras, Mila Dorji, Shelkar Dorji, Sheridan Hauser, Monica Hayon, and Liam Ireland from Broadway Bound Kids in the cast as all the young roles.
Broadway Bound Kids is a non-profit that inspires and empowers young lives through the performing arts in a transformative and inclusive community. It's A Broadwaysted Life! is running as a benefit to offer a one-year scholarship to as many NYC students as possible.
It's A Broadwaysted Life! is written and edited by Kevin Jaeger and features original songs composed by Jason Pomerantz with lyrics by Jaeger. Part One of It's A Broadwaysted Life! will be available December 4th, 2018 with Part Two arriving on December 11th and Part Three on December 18th. It's A Broadwaysted Life! The Bartender's Cut (all three parts in one with special features) will be released on December 25th. All parts will be available for free on Broadwaysted on iTunes, Spotify, and all other major podcast streaming platforms.
