Trip and I talked about how he got to the major leagues as well as . . .

  • Why the first thing he does when he takes a job is make a mixtape!
  • The super-secret, age-old blocking technique that you’ve got to try.
  • What shocked him about directing on Broadway.
  • Who he likes working with the most when he develops a new work (it’s not who you think).
  • Why he reads reviews but doesn’t read chat boards.

The Tony Award-winning director of Urinetown returns to Broadway with Gettin’ The Band Back Together, a musical about a recently fired 40 year old man who wants to make it big with his band. Check it out here: gettinthebandbacktogether.com
