   Maxamoo Book Club: The Great White Way – Race and the Broadway Musical

   Jose (https://twitter.com/josesolismayen) and PennyMaria (https://twitter.com/PennyMaria) are joined by author Warren Hoffman (https://twitter.com/_WarrenHoffman) to discuss the newly published second edition of his book The Great White Way: Race and the Broadway Musical (https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/the-great-white-way/9781978807112). Their conversation includes a closer look at West Side Story, both historically and through the lens of the revival Ivo Von Hove directed for Broadway this season (https://westsidestorybway.com/). The Great White Way: Race and the Broadway Musical (second edition) is available wherever books are sold, including from Rutgers University Press (https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/the-great-white-way/9781978807112) or your local independent bookstore (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781978807112). If you’d like to hear the couple of songs cut from West Side Story during its development that we discuss, you can find them in this YouTube video (https://youtu.be/s8nIck-Ydx4). This is our first episode recorded with all the participants in different spaces – yay social distancing! – and while it’s pretty good, there are some moments of roughness in the audio. Please bear with us as we adapt to our new circumstances. We’re learning as we go! It was produced by David (https://www.twitter.com/itsdlevy), so if you have helpful advice, feel free to reach out to him. Incidentally, if you are a theater artist with creative approaches to making work or caring for other theater artists during this time, and you’d like to chat about it on a future episode, please slide into our DMs or email us at podcast@maxamoo.com (but if you can slide into our DMs, we’ll see that faster).

   The Best & Worst of 2019, Part II

   All 9 of our regular contributors have gathered: Aurin (https://twitter.com/aurinsquire), Ben (https://twitter.com/BenFerber), David (https://twitter.com/itsdlevy), Jack (https://twitter.com/JPhillipsMoore), Jose (https://twitter.com/josesolismayen), Liz (https://twitter.com/MsLizRK), Nicole (https://twitter.com/MildlyBitter), Patty (https://twitter.com/PattywithaY), and PennyMaria (https://twitter.com/PennyMaria)! We’re back together for our year-end spectacular, our annual episode in which we discuss the best and worst theater of the year. If you have trouble telling any voices apart, we’re seated in a circle and the order we answer questions in is, roughly: Liz, Nicole, Jose, Jack, PennyMaria, Aurin, Ben, David, Patty. (Jack had to leave early, so don’t get freaked out when he disappears half-way through the episode.) See below for timecodes of the questions we answer: (0:40) What, to you, was the most impactful theater moment of the decade? (13:56) The Isaac Butler Honorary Question: What performer/performance this year moved your Kinsey number? (22:10) What was the worst case of Theater FOMO (fear of missing out) you suffered this year? (29:21) What show do you wish more audiences had a chance to see? (37:10) What made you cry at the theater this year? (46:46) Did anyone leave any shows early? What did you leave? (53:31) If you were hosting a panel at BroadwayCon (or Off-BroadwayCon, if you’d prefer), what would it be? (1:02:22) What performer in a small role in 2019 would you like to see as the lead of a smash-hit star vehicle in 2020?
