This week we discuss the MANY connections between ocean liners and Broadway, particularly two legendary Broadway producers who sailed on Titanic's maiden voyage and helped shape New York City for the next century.

Hear more of Jennifer Ashley Tepper's untold stories of Broadway by picking up one of her books!
