You might think you know Bobby Longbottom from his Tony-nominated Side Show or his work as the Director and Choreographer of one of the largest shows on the planet, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular . . .  that’s how I knew him mostly.

But when you listen to this podcast and realize how he got to where he is today, you’ll realize there’s so much more to this art-trepreneur than his resume.

Bobby went from singer to dancer to choreographer to director, literally without missing a beat, because of an “I’ll figure it out” attitude and by making his own opportunities, including the off-broadway smash Pageant and the aforementioned Side Show.

He didn’t wait to get hired. He found a way to hire himself.

We talked about the importance of entrepreneurship in this business as well as . . .

• How to make a transition from one career to another inside the Broadway biz (which isn’t always the most supportive of that kind of change).
• The origins of Side Show.
• How he convinced people to give him a shot . . . when they really shouldn’t have (according to him).
• The process of choreographing a great big, fat, opening number – what do you do first?
• Why things take so long to develop in 2018 and what we can do about it?

Enjoy the podcast, I hope it inspires you to start something as much as it inspired me.
