 something new's very first live stream concert. There are so many wonderful friends who have helped make this podcast season such a success, so I'm really really excited to to share and revisit the songs that happened this season. So let me tell you what this is. So and what something new is. In case this is somehow you stumbled upon this concert and you don't know, something new is a musical theater podcast that I started four years ago where I interviewed an artist in our community who's chosen to wear multiple hats and wear them with pride and then we premier a brand new song from something I've been working on and we have fun. Let's see at the end of each season I produce a concert to celebrate all the terrific guests I've had the pleasure of not only getting to know a little better but also all the songs that I've written within the four of them. The concerts have been at the triad, the duplex, Feinstein's 54 Below. I mean how do you top that? Well first we're not gonna start at 11.30 anymore. And second you know they say go big or go home and since big wasn't in the budget we're going home into your home. See what I did there? Thanks to live stream technology people are getting the chance to see live events, operas, concerts, apparently sports in a whole new way across the world and off it as a fraction of the price including this which is free. While there's nothing better than being in the room where it happens. Livestream is like a new it's a new tool that more and more theater producers are using and I'm happy to be giving this a try myself. So thanks for everyone for joining in this experiment. Speaking of us we've got I think nine I definitely know they're terrific but I think nine singers from season four singing twelve songs from the season plus a brand new premiere at the end so don't go away. And let's see and in theater they always say you know take your phone turn your phones off but in this case you're home I don't know if your phone's gonna ring keep your phones on make sure you're also signed into Twitter and you're following me there's also a list of my guests handles so you can follow all of them so if you so choose. Let's see we've also taken over Broadway world on Instagram like right now so if you go on to Instagram Broadway world's handle which is official Broadway world they are going to be taking exclusive
