A native New Yorker, John Kenrick worked for many years in professional theatre, serving as a personal assistant to six Tony Award winning producers. Creator of the popular educational website Musicals101.com, he pulls back the curtain on the history of show business as only an insider can. Kenrick has discussed theatre on television and radio, including PBS, the BBC, and NPR. His book Musical Theatre: A History has just been released in a revised 10th anniversary edition, and Publishers Weekly calls it “the go-to text on this subject.” Kenrick has taught at The New School University, The Philadelphia University of the Arts, and NYU’s Steinhardt School. He is uniquely qualified to tell us how musicals get to Broadway.
