This week’s dish from The Russian Team Room:
Prior to marrying Jackie Kennedy, Aristotle Onassis was known as one of the richest men in the world. Onassis became a household name after marrying her, and actor-playwright Anthony Skordi is performing a one-man show about his life, An Evening with Onassis.
Marjan Kiepura is a world renowned pianist and the son of two great opera singers. Marjan is also a wonderful raconteur and we discuss music, the world at large and life’s vagaries on this week’s show.
The Russian Tea Room is serving up a new type of dish…
Located steps from Broadway, the New York institution has been a go-to gathering spot for artists, celebrities, and royalty since its opening nearly 100 years ago and Broadway at The Russian Tea Room is a weekly one-hour AM radio show/streaming/podcast dedicated to productions from Broadway, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and every venue in between.
