TONYS WEEK: Beth Callen, Musician, The Lost Boys

The Tony Awards often celebrate the names on a show poster, but every Broadway production is carried by countless artists whose work rarely fits neatly into a category. So in anticipation of this year's awards ceremony, we're spotlighting a few of the performers, collaborators, and creative forces behind nominated productions. Beth Callen follows her curiosity wherever the music leads. A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and educator, she has traveled from indie folk stages and an all-female Guns N' Roses tribute band to some of Broadway's most acclaimed productions, including Head Over Heels, A Strange Loop, Suffs, and now The Lost Boys.  In this episode, Beth discusses the realities of building a career as a working musician; why mentorship matters for the next generation of artists; and how greater visibility for pit musicians can deepen our appreciation for the live magic that happens eight times a week on Broadway.   Links Beth Callen: https://bethcallen.com/ The Lost Boys: https://www.lostboysmusical.com/ Maestra: https://maestramusic.org/
