Episode Description from the Publisher

Broadway legend Shoshana Bean joined the show. Over bourekas and a Jerusalem breakfast, Shoshana walks me through that wild moment when she had to step in as Elphaba in ‘Wicked’ on Broadway after Idina Menzel’s unexpected injury. Plus, we get into her latest Broadway show, ‘The Lost Boys’ based on the ‘80s film, and why vampires are a compelling allegory for feeling like an outsider. This episode was recorded at Miriam on the Upper West Side, NYC.  Learn more about your ad choices.
