The Great White Way: Race and the Broadway Musical (second edition) is available wherever books are sold, including from Rutgers University Press or your local independent bookstore.

If you’d like to hear the couple of songs cut from West Side Story during its development that we discuss, you can find them in this YouTube video.

This is our first episode recorded with all the participants in different spaces – yay social distancing! – and while it’s pretty good, there are some moments of roughness in the audio. Please bear with us as we adapt to our new circumstances. We’re learning as we go! It was produced by David, so if you have helpful advice, feel free to reach out to him.

Incidentally, if you are a theater artist with creative approaches to making work or caring for other theater artists during this time, and you’d like to chat about it on a future episode, please slide into our DMs or email us at podcast@maxamoo.com (but if you can slide into our DMs, we’ll see that faster).

First (0:26–11:46), Omar Sangare talks about how he developed United Solo into the world’s largest solo theater festival and why solo performance is worth celebrating.

Next, Ricahrda Abrams (11:47–20:03) tells us about her show, First by Faith: The Life of Mary McLeod Bethune, the true story of a remarkable woman whose grounding in her faith enabled her to become a leader in education, civil rights, and politics.

Then, (20:04–26:47) Lillian Colón recounts how she set out to write her memoir and ended up with a solo show about Lilly, an orphan girl from the Bronx who never found her Daddy Warbucks but did grow up to become the first Latina Rockette.

Next up (26:48–32:32) Noah Diamond gives us a peek at his show, 400 Years in Manhattan, a tour-guide’s look at the ever-changing history of New York City.

We conclude (32:33–56:52) with a round-table discussion with all our guests about how to get the most out of the festival as an audience member, a theater-maker, or someone who might be inspired to switch from one to the other.

7. What was your favorite line of a show you saw this year? And why? (38:01)
8. What is the show or moment at the theater in the last year will you remember 10 years from now? (44:25)
9. What was the best piece of theater you saw outside NYC this year? (50:15)

11. What made you cry at the theater in 2016? (1:00:08)
12. Who saw the most shows?! (1:03:48)
