If you are like me, you continue to miss things that probably you took for granted before the world changed. I love live music and I adore sitting in a theater watching a live production. Hello Dolly, Mary Poppins, and Wicked are just some of my favorites.

The lights on Broadway went dark on March 12th, as COVID-19 cases skyrocketed in New York City. The closure of those shows left many performers out of work including two Kentucky natives. This week on Uniquely Kentucky I'm sitting down with Patrick Garr and Colton Ryan, both were performing in their respective shows at the time.

Colton Ryan gained a name for himself when he secured the understudy role on Dear Evan Hansen a few years ago. When COVID hit he had just opened in a new show on Broadway, Girl From North Country.

Patrick Garr found himself on Broadway in the smash hit Mean Girls. He was actually on the road touring with a national company of Hamilton when the lights went dark.

Both hope despite the shutdown that the great white way comes back stronger than ever when the curtain goes back up.
