Charles Kirsch’s Backstage Babble LIVE!
July 7, 2025
Charles Kirsch, the 18-year-old host of the theater podcast Backstage Babble, has been conducting in-depth interviews with some of Broadway’s best, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Carol Burnett, Harvey Fierstein, Chita Rivera, and Kelli O’Hara, since it started in July 2020. As the podcast enters its sixth year on the air, Kirsch will gather some of his favorite former guests at 54 Below to share never-before-heard anecdotes and recreate some of their Broadway performances for one night only. The evening will be musically directed by Broadway’s music man Michael Lavine, and is sure to be, like the podcast, a joyous celebration of Broadway and the legends who shaped it.
Featuring:
Darlesia Cearcy (A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical)
Sally Murphy (Carousel)
Anna Zavelson (The Light in the Piazza at New York City Center)
and more stars to be announced!
