Conversation with Cheeyang Ng, writer and composer of the new musical, "Eastbound".
Broadway ReFocused is in conversation with Cheeyang Ng, the writer and composer of the new musical Eastbound.

Told through the soundscape of a contemporary score fused with traditional Chinese folk music and Mandopop, Eastbound is performed in English and Mandarin. In this podcast we dive into why representation is so important to writer Cheeyung, and how he began as a musical theatre writer.

Conversation with writers, Gabriel Jason Dean, Jessie Dean and David Dabbon, about their new musical, "Our New Town".
Broadway ReFocused is in conversation with Gabriel Jason Dean, Jessie Dean and David Dabbon, the writers of Our New Town, a new musical. Through music, immersion and meta theatrics, Our New Town calls us all to wake up and take ownership of our personal relationship to guns and gun violence. A hyper theatrical blend of truth with fiction, of scene with song, Our New Town is an immersive play that puts the audience at the center of an American crisis: gun violence. In this podcast we learn why this show was created, why the writers want their show to eventually be obsolete and we get to hear the rousing song “Line in the Sand” from their recent production at Wagner College.

Conversation with Nicolette Blount, the creator of the new musical, "Savage, the musical"
For today’s episode Broadway ReFocused is excited to welcome Nicolette Blount, the creator and co-writer/composer/lyricist of Savage, the musical. As a registered Chickasaw Native American, Nicolette shines light on her great grandmother, Wanda Savage, in this new musical. Savage is a powerful story of redemption about an indigenous mother who fought racism, sexism, and abuse to make a name for herself, but at the heart of the story is a mother and her son. Nicolette is a singer, actress, songwriter, writer, and vocal coach that lives in Massachusetts, but hails from Southern California. In this podcast we talk about indigenous representation in musicals, the Chickasaw language that is disappearing and what’s next for Savage, the musical. We listen to the opening number, “Wanda Savage”. We learn about how Savage the Musical holds up a mirror to our society to see how far we have come...or not.
