Let's Talk Ten
Dan Fisher and his guests come up with Top Ten lists relating to pop culture --Movies/TV/Music/Etc. -- and then they compare notes.
"Winning" arguments over what's the "best" is never the point. It's just people talking about the stuff they love and why they love it. Sometimes the conversation is silly, sometimes it's deeply personal -- as long as it's entertaining, it goes where it goes.
Each "Let's Talk Ten" will cover a fresh topic (horror movies, debut albums, TV kids' shows) with a different guest. There are no scripts and lists are not shared beforehand.
Episodes will drop every two weeks, on Mondays.
Let's Talk Ten
EP. #78 – BROADWAY with Todd Graff
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Filmmaker, actor, and one-time Tony Award nominee TODD GRAFF joins Dan to talk about some of his favorite Broadway musicals and plays – especially the ones that were significant influences on his life and career.
Todd’s a gifted and hilarious storyteller, so we are all treated to memories of his first live theater experience (You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown), his co-starring with Robert Downey, Jr. in a long-forgotten Broadway flop, his friendships with legends Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim – and behind-the-scenes of the 2003 film Camp, which Todd wrote and directed as a loving homage to the performing arts camp he attended as a teenager as well as to the theater community as a whole.
Even those who claim not to care for Broadway musicals should find this episode highly entertaining -- featuring amazing musical numbers from Sunday in the Park with George, Grease, and West Side Story.
