Your GPA won’t get you the gig.

Neither will your school’s name, your follower count, or how many notes you can fit into a bar.

I spent 26 years inside Broadway pits before I understood what actually gets a musician hired. Talent gets you noticed once — trust is what gets you the call.

Nobody teaches this part. Not in school, not in a method book, not in a masterclass.

So I wrote it down. Four steps, in order, for how Broadway hiring actually works and how to build the kind of reputation that keeps the calls coming.

Last night at the Tony Awards after party I was standing right next to him. I had my chance.

I kept that question in my pocket and asked him something safer instead. His answer was interesting..

That story, three Tony wins for Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and what any of it has to do with building a career that actually lasts — it’s all in my latest post.
