Episode 1: In the Heights (Part 1)

Episode 1 covers the early days of In the Heights. From the show's beginnings as a college project to the off-off Broadway readings that attracted big deal Broadway producers, we'll hear how the plot of the show took shape, the creative team was assembled, and the money was raised to get the show on its feet.      This season is sponsored by TodayTix. To get $15 off your first purchase, download the app or visit todaytix.com and use promo code "BACKSTORY".   Follow us on Twitter @bwaybackstory and go to todaytix.com/broadwaybackstory for more info.  

Om Podcasten

Broadway Backstory is a documentary style podcast from TodayTix and Theater People that explores how a show develops from an idea to a full Broadway production. We get the behind the scenes story directly from the people who lived it - the conceivers, actors, directors, and producers. Season two will feature stories from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, Kinky Boots, The Light in the Piazza, Bring It On, Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, Come From Away, and Bonnie & Clyde. Some shows are gone too soon, others seem like they’ll last forever — either way, it all started with an idea.
