Broadway 2026 Spring Preview with Matt Koplik of Broadway Breakdown

Dylan and Connor are joined by Matt Koplik (Broadway Breakdown) for a thrilling preview of the Broadway 2026 spring season! Their fellow theatre podcaster brings his signature hot takes and witty humor to spotlight the upcoming productions coming to the Main Stem. The boys dish on Death of a Salesman, Giant, Proof, and all of the straight plays on the docket, as well as new musicals and revivals like Schmigadoon, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Rocky Horror Show. They rave about Carrie Coon, Rose Byrne, Jessica Hecht, and all the gals (which should come as no surprise). Listen as they discuss how many cast members from The Gilded Age and The Bear will be treading the boards, the trend of “bringing out the beave,” and for some scuttlebutt about Paddington’s rumored journey across the pond. Will the twink musical of the season (The Lost Boys) prevail? With this trio, you know there’s plenty of early Tony Awards talk throughout about the major categories: musical, actor, actress, and beyond. Some might say this is a breakdown of Broadway.
