We get together over zoom to discuss staying creative during the pandemic, overview their careers in theater and in particular talk about their experiences performing in The Lion King.

I talk to musical theater star Valerie Perri about her background, her career and her family. I also speak to her sons, twin composers Jack and Benny Lipson, and we hear a selection from their song cycle "Brainstorm" performed at a recent Musi-Cal.

In this episode I talk to Broadway Legend Kay Cole. We discuss her upbringing & training, her long and varied career, and her creative process. We also dig down into her participation in the creation of A CHORUS LINE. I also go upstairs prior to FNAM'S Musi-Cal where I talk to composing team Landon Ashworth and Jason Pelsey about astronaut training and how it influenced their musical "TO THE MOON."
