Our conversation was truly the most connective and honest conversation I have ever had with people in the industry. We talked through our formative theater lovin’ years, our personal and unique college experiences, the dream come true performance moments and the heartache and let downs on and off the Broadway stage.

Adam Hyndman is a Princeton University grad who majored in Cultural Anthropology and minored in theater and dance. Adam made his Broadway Debut in Aladdin and then went on to appear in the revival of Once On This Island! In the midst of his upward trajectory, Adam was faced with a harrowing injury. Through his injury and recovery, he only grew stronger and more grounded in his passion about creating possibilities for people to connect and activate their purpose; on a direct level through personalized wellness coaching (pulling from experiences as a nutrition coach, life coach, and crisis counselor), and on an amplified level through supporting arts projects dramaturgically and collaborating in producing teams for theatrical productions. Adam is a soft spoken, intelligent, and impactful person who not only brings his talent to the stage but to every connection he makes in his life and work. Fully recovered and focused, Adam just joined the Broadway company of Hadestown!

Bradley Gibson is southern boy raised in North Carolina where he always felt a deep sense of love for storytelling before he even knew what a Broadway stage was. He graduated from Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Musical Theater and as soon as he hit the NYC scene, he found instant success. He toured with the National Tour of Chicago, appeared in Love’s Labour’s Lost (The Public Theater), and went on to make his Broadway Debut in the Original Broadway Cast of Rocky as a swing. In a time of his life that should have felt like a dream come true, Bradley experienced a time of depression that came from a toxic work environment and bullying he experienced backstage from a co-worker. When closing his Broadway debut, Bradley continued to blaze forward, stepping into his power and potential as leading man, and booked his next Broadway show, A Bronx Tale, where he played Tyrone. He is not only a talented performer but a kind and honest human who lights up every room he enters. Currently, you can see Bradley 8 times a week as Simba in The Lion King.

This two part episode leaves no topic uncovered and dives into the differences of Adam and Bradley's journey to Broadway and also the similarities that they face as two queer people of color in the industry and world.


This is Adam Hyndman & Bradley Gibson.

]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2019 04:00:00 +0000 Alan@broadwaypodcastnetwork.com (Broadway Podcast Network) https://BroadwayPodcastNetwork.com Episode 3 features actors and activists, Adam Hyndman & Bradley Gibson! Our conversation was truly the most connective and honest conversation I have ever had with people in the industry. We talked through our formative theater lovin’ years, our personal and unique college experiences, the dream come true performance moments and the heartache and let downs on and off the Broadway stage.

Adam Hyndman is a Princeton University grad who majored in Cultural Anthropology and minored in theater and dance. Adam made his Broadway Debut in Aladdin and then went on to appear in the revival of Once On This Island! In the midst of his upward trajectory, Adam was faced with a harrowing injury. Through his injury and recovery, he only grew stronger and more grounded in his passion about creating possibilities for people to connect and activate their purpose; on a direct level through personalized wellness coaching (pulling from experiences as a nutrition coach, life coach, and crisis counselor), and on an amplified level through supporting arts projects dramaturgically and collaborating in producing teams for theatrical productions. Adam is a soft spoken, intelligent, and impactful person who not only brings his talent to the stage but to every connection he makes in his life and work. Fully recovered and focused, Adam just joined the Broadway company of Hadestown!

Bradley Gibson is southern boy raised in North Carolina where he always felt a deep sense of love for storytelling before he even knew what a Broadway stage was. He graduated from Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Musical Theater and as soon as he hit the NYC scene, he found instant success. He toured with the National Tour of Chicago, appeared in Love’s Labour’s Lost (The Public Theater), and went on to make his Broadway Debut in the Original Broadway Cast of Rocky as a swing. In a time of his life that should have felt like a dream come true, Bradley experienced a time of depression that came from a toxic work environment and bullying he experienced backstage from a co-worker. When closing his Broadway debut, Bradley continued to blaze forward, stepping into his power and potential as leading man, and booked his next Broadway show, A Bronx Tale, where he played Tyrone. He is not only a talented performer but a kind and honest human who lights up every room he enters. Currently, you can see Bradley 8 times a week as Simba in The Lion King.

This two part episode leaves no topic uncovered and dives into the differences of Adam and Bradley's journey to Broadway and also the similarities that they face as two queer people of color in the industry and world.


This is Adam Hyndman & Bradley Gibson.

He is a master of craft and the kind of performer we all strive to be. As someone who has worked with Jim, I can tell you that he is a team player and attacks every role no matter how big or small with integrity and confidence, one that comes from his many decades in the biz. Jim loves to do the work. He loves to dive into the material, discover what makes a character tick, and how to make each show 8x a week as fresh and organic as he can. On Broadway, Jim has appeared in the OBC cast of Merrily We Roll Along, 42nd Street, revivals of Sweeney Todd, The Music Man, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, On the 20th Century, She Loves Me and Sunset Boulevard. He has also appeared Off-Broadway in: And the World Goes ‘Round, Scrambled Feet and Closer Than Ever. On PBS, he’s been seen in: Follies: In Concert, Crazy For You, Sondheim! The Birthday Concert and Company. With his brother, Bob Walton, he wrote book, music and lyrics for Mid-life! (The Crisis Musical) and Mid-life 2! (#WhatDidIComeInHereFor?) both licensed through R&H Theatricals. For more information, visit the website: www.midlifethecrisismusical.com. Jim is also featured in a documentary about his Merrily We Roll Along experience, Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened, available on Netflix. He is presently in Come From Away on Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre where he plays Nick/Doug & Others. 

Somehow, just when you think you've seen it all from Jim Walton, he shows up stronger than he did before.

We spoke about the personal and creative discoveries during our college experiences, the differences between Broadway then and now, understudying and replacing, and commercial theater. I loved every single second of our conversation and I am so excited to share it with you.

This is Jim Walton.

Lisa has appeared in 18....I REPEAT 18...Broadway shows over her many decades as a dancer. She made her Broadway debut in Tommy and went onto join the casts of Movin' Out, Fosse, Spamalot, Pal Joey, Elf, Chaplin, Tuck Everlasting, and SO. MUCH. MORE. 

During her early career, she lived and worked out in LA but after a couple years on the west coast, she quickly discovered that New York was the place she'd forever dream of calling home. She dove head first into her training at Steps on Broadway where she spent morning, noon, and night dancing and learning everything she needed to become the success she is. Aside from her dancing, much of her success needs to be credited to her incredible ability to bring her sense of self into every job she has had. Casey Nicholaw refers to Lisa Gajda as his "muse" and anybody who knows her, knows her not only as a pillar in the Broadway community but also for her quick wit, honesty, and hard work. Beyond her unprecedented amount of Broadway credits, she is one of the most honest and charismatic human beings I’ve ever been lucky enough to work with. Lisa brings her strong and unapologetic self to every project she does and our interview truly left no stone unturned. 

Now retired after 30 years in the business, Lisa just received her Bachelors Degree with the LEAP program at St. Mary’s College and will begin her masters in Marriage and Family therapy at Mercy College in September 2019.

We talked through falling in love with dance, navigating unemployment, finding her place in the theater industry, how social media is effecting performers, and her new career change.
