  • THE FULL MONTY with Misha Brown

    THE FULL MONTY with Misha Brown
    Feb 23 2026
    The most profound element of the musical THE FULL MONTY is that its nudity is only a symbol of the greater vulnerability the characters express throughout the story. Here this week to dive into that vulnerability (and let's be honest, the nudity) is everyone's favorite "bestie," Misha Brown. Before becoming an influencer and author with 8 million followers, Misha performed THE FULL MONTY in the middle of Pennsylvania...with some interesting results. You don't want to miss these stories. See Misha on tour for his new book, "Be Your Own Bestie!" Find out how on his Instagram and TikTok @yourbestiemisha.

Barnum and the musical that bears his name as well as the complex legacy of characters like him in American History. Here to discuss it all is someone who knows a thing or two about showmanship. He can currently be seen in the Broadway smash MJ and recently choreographed a new production of BARNUM: it's Ryan VanDenBoom! (BANDSTAND, SOMETHING ROTTEN, and more.)
