Show notes

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Broadway director Darko Tresnjak, whose production of ARCHDUKE is currently playing off-Broadway. Tune in to hear some of her wonderful stories, including the first idea he brought to A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE, creating the iconic staging for “I’ve Decided to Marry You,” cutting the show’s original bows sequence, why he connected with ANASTASIA, auditioning Christy Altomare for the title role, writing ASK FOR THE MOON, directing Lesli Margherita in THE FLAMINGO KID, how he came to Hartford Stage, what Marian Seldes revealed about THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH, telling a political story in RUSSIAN TROLL FARM, staging his own Olympics as a child, reviving AMOUR and CARNIVAL, meeting Marge Champion at Williamstown, the advice he took from Jack O’Brien about running a theater, casting musical theater actresses in THE WOMEN, his dream production of PAL JOEY, and so much more. Don’t miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway’s best.
