“A long time fan of Stephanie J. Block’s artistry, I had the very good fortune of snagging a last-minute ticket to “Into the Woods” a week before it closed its run in Los Angeles. Reading Stephanie’s program bio, she mentioned her STAGES podcast and I have since become a binge listener in the past week - flipping back and forth into their 70- episode archive of podcast interviews they’ve recorded so far.
Although I was not familiar with her co-host, Marylee Fairbanks, the two longtime friends and performers are delightful as they interview some of their Broadway idols and co-stars. The two women are mom’s and performers at different parenting stages in their careers and go deep with their questions, conversations and curiosity about life and creation of art. They are humble and respectful and in awe of some of the legends they have had on the show. They are excavators of truth and love exploring the artist’s process of working and moving through the emotionally challenging times most creatives have had to deal with at one time or another.
As a retired casting director for movies and television in LA for over twenty years now, I don’t get the opportunity to come to NY to see Broadway shows very often anymore - so the podcast has been a lovely way for me to be introduced to many amazing and uber-talented performers who have been gracing the NY stage over the years - and that has allowed me to intimately hang out and get to know them for an hour. Bravo!
I love their end set of questions they ask every guest - kind of like riffing on James Lipton’s Actor’s Studio final guest questions (but they ask completely different questions). BTW, my cheeky nail color would be called, “Curmudgeon Wine!””
