Laura Heywood Interviews Nick Kohn (Avenue Q)

Nick Kohn spent fourteen years playing lovable comedian Brian in Avenue Q, both on Broadway and for the entire run at New World Stages. That’s more than five THOUSAND performances!  (Only eleven shows in the history of Broadway have played more than 5,000 shows. That includes RENT, which ran for twelve and a half years.O

Today we pull the curtain back a little bit — get a sense of this unique circumstance, celebrate his time in Avenue Q, and shine a light on what happens next. 

One thing I can say for sure is that he is poised to charm every person, industry or not, that he meets. Nick is one of the kindest, warmest, and most delightful people I’ve ever met — and I couldn’t be happier that he landed here with me today.

Laura Heywood Interviews Norbert Leo Butz (“The Long Haul”)

Two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz has appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady, Catch Me If You Can, Wicked, Rent, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Big Fish, Dead Accounts, Enron, Is He Dead, and Speed the Plow. The Last Five Years off-Broadway provided an equally pivotal role.

In addition to his legendary career on the stage, Norbert Leo Butz is a wildly talented songwriter, and his album “The Long Haul” is the first full-length album he has written entirely by himself. 

“The Long Haul” is a country/ blues record that has a deep, beautiful sadness running through it along with a sense of perseverance and a heart determined to keep on loving.

It would be easy to believe this record was written by a long-haul trucker with a million miles behind him and thousands more to go — which is why “The Long Haul” is the perfect name for this heartbreaking, hardy collection of songs.
