The theatre world is abuzz about the Second Annual BROADWAY BEE on Monday, May 8th (at Le Poisson rouge in NYC). The fundraiser pits some of Broadway's brightest against each other in a high-spirited spelling bee, with eleven teams vying for the trophy.

This week, the Bros of Broadwaysted are flying without Game Master Kimberly as we sit down with the talented and lovely Leslie Becker. We're drinking out of flasks and minibar bottles and snacking on Baked by Melissa cupcakes as we chat about Leslie's career onstage, in the recording studio, as a songwriter and a published author.

Did you pray for another Broadwaysted episode this week? Did I just 'state' the obvious? Well, your prayers are answered: we're pouring 'Another Round' with CHURCH & STATE's star Rob Nagle and Playwright Jason Odell Williams! We're drinking cider and chatting about the hilarious new play CHURCH & STATE playing now at New World Stages and their road from the West Coast to Off-Broadway. We reflect on the career of M. Night Shyamalan, talk about why we love real Southern women, and Game Master Kimberly introduces a new game, 'Lights of Broadway Show Cards Debate.' We also discover that Jason has a killer British accent and yes, we even get a little real when discussing the core issues of CHURCH & STATE. We had a blast having 'Another Round' with Jason and Rob, so y'all should grab tickets to see CHURCH & STATE at New World Stages!

This week we are officially branding ourselves as islanders because we're kissing the cod with COME FROM AWAY star Caesar Samayoa! We're pouring out gin & tonic and wine and discussing Caesar's epic journey with COME FROM AWAY from Seattle to DC, Toronto, and NYC (and an ice rink in Gander!)

With just under two weeks until the 2nd annual BROADWAY BEE fundraiser (May 8 at NYC's Le Poisson Rouge), will Broadway's next major competition see Team Beautiful 'The Carole King Musical' take home the trophy for a second year in a row?

Broadway Bound Kids, a NYC performing arts education organization, will host its second annual BROADWAY BEE fundraiser on Monday, May 8, at 7pm at Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, NYC). The Broadway Bee is an adults only spelling bee, featuring actors from current hit Broadway Shows. All proceeds go to provide performing arts opportunities for NYC youth.
