The Broadway Ladies: Ms. Broadway: December 2018

Her Broadway career spans over two decades, starting with an ensemble role the original cast of Jekyll and Hyde and all the way up to playing and icon's mother in the just-opened The Cher Show. It was her breakout role (with Alice Ripley) as one-half of the Hilton Sisters in the beloved original Broadway cast of Side Show that brought her center stage. And a joint Tony nod sealed the deal. She's done it all - Broadway, off-Broadway, regional and touring shows. We love her brash, sassy presence, and that voice... So glad she's back! Congratulations, Emily Skinner, you are Ms. Broadway December 2018!

Broadway Boys: Mr. Broadway: December 2018

I've been following the career of Gideon Glick for more than a decade, and have had the pleasure of watching him perform several times. He is always in the most interesting projects - whether they be huge hits or or critical misfires, when his name is attached you know you are in for an experience. He elevates everything he's in - on or off Broadway, leading man, supporting player or ensemble member. These days, he's playing a major role (Dill) in the much-buzzed about To Kill a Mockingbird, opening later this month. How perfect, then, that he's Mr. Broadway December 2018.
