Broadwaysted!

Broadwaysted! is a Broadway comedy interview show with the energy of a theater party that somehow became a recurring format. The premise is simple enough: Broadway people, games, conversation, and drinks. The execution is messier in a good way. Episodes can begin with a pun-packed monologue, fold into a performer interview, pause for a quiz, and then veer into a fully committed bit before anyone has time to neaten the edges. That looseness is the point. The show sounds built around people who know the references, trust the room, and would rather chase the funny idea than preserve a polished outline. In the Alison Luff episode, the conversation has real craft underneath it, especially around revivals, generational distance, and the freedom of bringing a show back without copying the original. The holiday episodes show the other side of the format. They lean into radio framing, original songs, theatrical narration, and Broadway-stuffed parody with an almost alarming level of commitment. A cookie song becomes a comic set piece. A holiday inheritance mystery turns into ensemble farce. It's a Wonderful Life becomes a musical-theater fantasia with friends, cops, cab drivers, and big emotional key changes. The show is not just making jokes about Broadway. It thinks in Broadway. References become structure, songs become punchlines, and sincerity tends to arrive wearing a costume. Brian Plofsky is named as host in the excerpts, while Kevin Jaeger and Kimberly appear in the holiday material. The result is quick, warm, crowded, and very theater-native. It suits listeners who enjoy Broadway banter, Broadway in-jokes, musical parody, performer process, and comedy that leaves a little room for sentiment. Broadwaysted! is at its best when the conversation feels half-planned, half-derailed, and entirely happy to be there.
