Listen: Behind The Curtain: Broadway’s Living Legends #31 PETER FILICHIA, Critic
You would be hard pressed to find someone who loves the theatre more than Peter Filichia. For years, Peter’s observations on musical theatre have inspired countless actors, directors, and writers to start a career in show business. Now, Peter talks to Rob and Kevin, his two biggest fans, about the importance of arts education, for whom a critic should be crafting their reviews, and why he still loves the theatre. Plus, memories of Senator Joe, The Wiz, and My Fair Lady!
