Oh, and Jeffrey is the man who also invented the "Broadway Lottery System" we know and love too! 


What was it like writing a memoir of your life and taking "center stage" when you're known for putting others "center stage" as the producer?  How do you become a producer today? Which Broadway heroes provided their voices for Jeffrey's audiobook?  

We dig into all of it and more in this episode, so take a listen!

**This was a bucket list interview to talk to the legendary Jeffrey Seller, the man who brought us Jonathan Larson's RENT, a musical that changed all of our lives. ** I've been following him for years, and as I've started my journey in producing, Jeffrey Seller has been a major inspiration. I'm not lying when I say i DEVOURED this book and I am sure you will too! Every musical theater nerd, fan, or professional will LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! **
