Michael Arden and Dane Laffrey have built seven Broadway shows together, and with The Lost Boys, they may have outdone themselves. Flying rigs on curves. Lifts in the floor. A vampire story told with the rigor of a magic trick. Katharine Quinn sits down with the Tony nominated design duo for a conversation about what it actually takes to make theater that surprises you and why they're never, ever done.

She's produced two Broadway shows in one season. She survived as an assignment editor, worked the Gore 2000 campaign, and bet on herself anyway. Tony Award-winning producer Eva Price sits down with Katharine Quinn to talk about how naivete is a superpower, why joy is an act of resistance, and what it really takes to bring a show from a Gristedes basement to the St. James Theatre.

We talk about Titanique, Liberation, Jagged Little Pill, and what it means to fall in love with a show hard enough to produce it.

And That's Showbiz is your digital-first, fan-forward home for Broadway conversations that go beyond the marquee.

Cinco Paul is the writer behind Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets, and Schmigadoon! on Apple TV+. Today, he sits down with Katharine Quinn to talk about what it actually feels like when the thing you've been carrying for three decades finally lands on a Broadway stage. We get into the songs he cut, the ones he wrote in a panic, the director who changed everything, and the couple he watched kiss each other in the front row during previews.

And That's Showbiz is Broadway for the digital age: fan-first, industry-honest, and always in the room where it happens. Subscribe.

🎭 Schmigadoon! on Broadway is now playing at the Nederlander Theatre
