    SIX: The Musical with creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss

    When Broadway returned from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, it needed a jolt, a bolt of lightning. Happily, we did not just get one. We got SIX.


    In this episode, host Alex Birsh talks with Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the creators of SIX: The Musical, to discuss how an idea developed in a university dorm room turned into a smash-hit musical that has played over 1,400 performances on Broadway and around the world. Before the interview, Birsh chats with Meredith Ammons, Playbill's Social Media Coordinator, about why she suggests SIX to her friends and family who ask her, "What Broadway show should I see?"

    Could a show about robots be Broadway's best new love story?


    On this episode, we talk with Golden Globe winner Darren Criss (American Crime Story, Glee) who stars in Maybe Happy Ending, one of the buzziest new musicals on Broadway. He chats with Playbill's Alex Birsh about what the show means to him and what it's like bringing it to audiences each week. The episode also features an interview with the theater friend of the week, Diep Tran (Playbill's Editor-In-Chief), who talks about why this show resonated with her so much.
