Broadway is back! A swag of productions that were forced into an extended hiatus, upstaged by Covid, are back in theatres on the Great White Way. The return to the business of show coincides with the 74th Tony Awards ceremony. The event takes place on September 26th at The Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.

STAGES is joined in this episode by two-time Tony winner; Producer John Frost. Known affectionately as Frosty the Showman; impresario John Frost has been at the pinnacle of Musical Theatre in Australia for several decades. The Gordon Frost Organisation has contributed much of the commercial product that has filled theatres and graced stages around the country. His productions have garnered a swag of local awards as well as Tony Awards for productions of The King & I and Hairspray.

Locally he has presented Australian productions of Broadway fare that has included Wicked, Big River, The Producers, Legally Blonde, Chicago and Pippin.

Frosty reflects on his various attendances at the Tony Awards and the thrill of being acknowledged by the Broadway community. He also ponders our own Helpmann Awards, describes the recent transition of the Gordon Frost Organisation to Crossroads Live, and hints at what he could be presenting in 2022.
