Adam Grupper

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with Adam Grupper, who is currently starring in Joy at the Laura Pels Theater. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including working with Stephen Sondheim on INTO THE WOODS, turning down KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN, a memorable mishap during CITY OF ANGELS, a tip from Robert Westenberg about THE SECRET GARDEN, the joy of reading audiobooks, getting group notes during GUYS AND DOLLS, how NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY launched his career, the stories Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson told him during DOWN THE GARDEN PATH, the idea of masks in THE WILD PARTY, performing Neil Simon’s work in BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS and 45 SECONDS FROM BROADWAY, learning opera singing for LA BOHEME, having his son reprise his role in THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a water pipe issue during PICTURES FROM HOME, performing MY FAIR LADY in front of Mike Pence, delivering a John Weidman monologue in I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, and so much more. Plus, a special treat: a recording of Adam singing “When Your Lover Says Goodbye” from the Alan Jay Lerner musical Coco at 54 Below last month. Don’t miss this comprehensive conversation with a true Broadway veteran.
