Michele Lee on Broadway: How to Succeed, Seesaw & A Lifetime Of Friendships

We couldn't WAIT to talk Broadway with Michele Lee, and her stories simply dazzled us! In this episode of The Tom & Mickey Show, Michele tells us all about the wild ups and downs of Broadway as her career launched in the early 1960s, when she quickly catapulted to stardom. Michele recalls being completely smitten with Robert Morse upon seeing him in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in the fall of 1961, co-starring with him in the show a year later. We also dig deep on 1973's Seesaw, with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields — one of our absolute favorite musicals, and Michele's role of a lifetime. Michele reminds us that Broadway isn’t only about the shows, it’s about the people and the lifelong friendships made on the journey. It’s a fantastic glimpse into her early Broadway career, the creative community involved in some of musical theater’s most important shows, and friendships that can overcome the slings and arrows of showbiz. We love these deep dive conversations about Broadway, cinema, and Hollywood history. Make sure to please like and subscribe to The Tom & Mickey Show for more stories like these.
