A career in musical theatre is hard, no matter how wonderful your training is or how developed your skills are, because of the vulnerability it requires, the rejection you have to continually face, plus all the fierce competition at every audition, and the head-games and negative self-talk we get into with ourselves. The Mental Game of Musical Theatre is all about helping you persevere through the mental challenges that inevitably come up along the way, while you’re pursuing, building, and maintaining your musical theatre career. Host David Eggers and his esteemed guests - working musical theatre artists at every level and at every point in the journey - share the most intimate details of their experiences while building their musical theatre careers... - the self-doubt - the audition nerves (and ways to handle theme) - the ”almost but not quite” jobs - the dream jobs - the Tony awards - the breaks that seemed like pure luck - the healthy practices - the best advice ever received - things they know now that they wish they knew then ... and so much more in every episode!

Technically my first guest ever (recorded in summer of 2021) is Tony-winning star of stage and screen, writer, composer, activist, and self-admitted “hot mess,” GAVIN CREEL!
Come along as Gavin and I talk about his arrival in NYC, his harrowing Broadway debut, and all the twists and turns and pitfalls along the way that have led to his brand new one-man show WALK ON THROUGH!
What is the tin rabbit? And how does that resonate in Gavin’s life? What experience(s) sent him into a #ShameSpiral, and which “quirky” Broadway vet helped him snap out of it with some sage advice: “It’s all bull$h!+” ?
Gavin’s unique perspective will help you all realize that “ultimately the encouragement you need more than anything…is from within.”
