Today, Backstage Babble is excited to welcome Robert Viagas, the editor of the newest theater magazine Encore Monthly. Created specifically as the premiere lifestyle magazine for theatre lovers nationwide, Encore Monthly will connect readers to the stage and to each other, with features covering what happens onstage and in the wings as well as all the places theatre fans come together - in the aisles at intermission; in living rooms and dorm rooms; and on laptops and cell phones across the country - and what fans enjoy when not sitting in their theatre seats. Robert also talks about the other aspects of his illustrious career, including an all-night phone call with Donna McKechnie, what went wrong with the musical Metro, the inside story of what it’s like to be a Tony Awards nominator, what makes a great Broadway star, disastrous interviews, and more stories about Jerry Orbach, Charlotte St. Martin, Baayork Lee, and others.
