Backstage Babble: Beyond the Walls of Joe Allen Restaurant
February 19, 2025
What do you think of when you think of Joe Allen? Maybe it’s the great food, or the star sightings any patron is likely to have. But most people associate the restaurant with its legendary “flop wall” featuring posters of Broadway’s shortest-running shows: Moose Murders, Scandalous, Rags, and more. Charles Kirsch, the host of theater podcast Backstage Babble, will take a deep dive into some of these under-appreciated shows as well as other Broadway misses that have yet to make it to the wall, with first hand accounts and performances by the performers who were there. Any die-hard Broadway fan won’t want to miss hearing these stories. Music direction and piano by Michael Lavine.
