The Actors Behind Broadside

Some theatre partnerships just click. Director Kelly McAllister returns for his fourth Edinburgh Fringe, while Olivia Kisicki embarks on her second. Together, they bring curiosity, creativity, and the kind of teamwork that makes new musicals come alive.

Behind every production is a leadership team that helps turn ideas on the page into a living, breathing performance. Choreographer Heather Westenskow and Stage Manager Jacob Frye are at the heart of that process, guiding rehearsals, shaping performances, and keeping the countless moving pieces of Broadside on course.

 

One of the greatest joys of creating a new musical is collaborating with actors. They take words and music on a page and transform them into living characters, bringing fresh ideas, insight, and heart to every rehearsal. Broadside has become a stronger show because of them.

We're thrilled to welcome Adam Johnson and Madge Guerra to the cast of Broadside! From day one, they've jumped in with enthusiasm, embraced the history, the music, and the challenge of creating a brand-new musical.
