In Season 3 of NEW@NAMT, we’re spotlighting the Associate Artistic Directors and Artistic Producers helping shape the future of musical theatre at NAMT Member Organizations.
🎙️ This week, hosts Jean-Paul Yovanoff and Skye Cone Ivey sit down with Brandon Ivie, Associate Artistic Director at Village Theatre in Seattle and the Drama Desk-nominated director of Lizard Boy.
With a career that has spanned Broadway, regional theatres, Off-Broadway and international stages, Brandon shares what it means to develop new musicals from the ground up, the power of collaboration with artists like Justin Huertas, and how Village Theatre supports writers through workshops, residencies, and second productions.
🎶 Hear Brandon talk about the Off-Broadway run of Lizard Boy at Prospect Theater Company, why regional theatre is critical to new work development, and what he thinks the industry needs most to support artists.
✨ Plus: His favorite opening number of all time, the most underrated musical, and the show that made him fall in love with the form.
