Broadway

Bound

Sometimes, telling the story in one way isn't enough.

Sometimes, it's best to take a more cubist approach, to look at the thing from several different angles.

For three New York-bound musicals, I took the long view, conducting several interviews over the course of weeks. 

Here are the resulting Broadway-bound stories
