This week’s guest is Drew Gasparini.
Drew is currently developing a number of new stage musicals including the Broadway-bound musical adaptation of The Karate Kid and It’s Kind of a Funny Story, book by Alex Brightman, who he’s also working with on The Whipping Boy.
Drew was a part of the infamous, award-winning Super Bowl publicity stunt, Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical, Hit List on SMASH, and has an incredible song cycle out - We Aren’t Kids Anymore.
Catch his live performances with The (M)orons, Drew Gasparini & Friends and now Drew Gasparini’s New Voices a new monthly virtual concert series in partnership with @fergusoncenterforthearts with the mission statement to continuing the championing and sharing of new works and artists while venues aren’t able to fully open!

Broadway SHOs are announcing their new opening dates. While we’re excited to see everyone get back to work, we must stay vigilant in our calls to make theatre a safe space for everyone involved. We need reports on how companies will be enacting anti-racist, anti-transphobia, anti-abelism and anti-abuse work. We can’t go back, we must move forward.
Wear a mask, get your vaccine, be safe and let’s take care of ourselves.
We’ll see you at the SHO
