32 – Kristin Caskey - a podcast by Ken Davenport

Kristin Caskey is a producer. Along with Hal Luftig and Mike Isaacson, she received a Tony Award for her producing work on Urinetown. She has also produced One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Legally Blonde, Bring It On: The Musical, and Fun Home.

I’ve known Kristin since the Millie days, when I was a Company Manger, and she was a first time lead Producer.  As the President of Fox Theatricals, she’s produced a ton since then, including Legally Blonde, Caroline, or Change, Bring It On, and more.
I was so thrilled when she agreed to jump on the ol’ podcast so she could talk about her career since Millie, as well as . . .

How she saw huge potential in Fun Home when so many (including myself) were scared by its subject matter.

Why relationships with Authors are such important things for Producers to develop.

For once and for all . . . is there a “road-block” of Tony Award voters?

What she wishes she knew about Broadway Producing when she started that she knows now.

Do you want to be a producer?  And are you not in NY (just like she wasn’t when she started)?  Here’s what you should do.
