A Musician’s Guide to Building a Real Career in Theater

Whether you’re already working as a musician, trying to break into Broadway, or simply curious about how it all works behind the scenes, this book lays it out.

I’ve spent over 25 years in the pit—playing hit shows, developing new works in workshops, touring nationally, and performing Off-Broadway. Broadway Bound and Beyond is a straightforward guide to what it really takes to build a career in this business—and keep it going.

This isn’t about chasing fame. It’s about doing the work, staying ready, and understanding how the industry actually runs.

If you’ve ever wondered, “How do people get those gigs?” this book gives you the real answer.
