Ali Louis Bourzgui (The Lost Boys) and Emma Pittman (The Outsiders) sit down for a full conversation about The Tony Awards, what it really takes to bring iconic stories to a Broadway stage, and WIGS. From fan obsession to the craft of honoring a beloved IP without losing yourself in it, these two get real about their characters, their mentors, the culture shift happening in theater right now, and why the kids are absolutely saving the industry.
This is the Broadway conversation we've been waiting for.
And That's Showbiz is your digital-first, fan-forward home for everything Broadway. New episodes every week.
