quick note from N&M: Thank you. We can't believe we've put out ten episodes, and look forward to SO many more! 

In This Episode As all forms of entertainment become more digital, more technical and more spectacular, theatre has also stepped up to the plate. From magic tricks, set pieces on fire, and elaborate moving costumes to actors flying all over the theatre, Broadway continues to push the boundaries to keep people coming back.

What does all of this mean for an ensemblist? Not only are you connecting with your castmates, the show, and the audience, now there are extra technical elements: a raked stage, a rotating set piece- or while suspended above the house! In this episode of The Ensemblist, we speak to three veteran actors about what it’s like to be in a Broadway show with these huge technical elements.
