Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with playwright and screenwriter Jonathan Tolins. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including the joke he couldn’t include in the Tony awards, how Barbra Streisand reacted to BUYER AND CELLAR, working with Broadway favorites on ELSBETH, revising the book for ON THE TOWN, the ill-fated TRUMP FOLLIES, the responsibility of writing for QUEER AS FOLK, THE TWILIGHT OF THE GOLDS’s journey to Broadway, why he changed the ending for the film adaptation, his relationship with Bette Midler, taking on a hot-button issue in IF MEMORY SERVES, writing MAJOR DOMO and THE PETRIES as sitcom pilots for Michael Urie, developing TAKE THE LEAD, the potential third season of SCHMIGADOON, and so much more. Don’t miss this hilarious and candid conversation with one of Broadway and television’s best writers.
