Episode 33: Tara Rubin: Putting It Together

On this week’s episode, Rob, Jennifer, and Jamie talk to Broadway
casting director, Tara Rubin. For over thirty years, Tara has been
casting Broadway shows like The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jersey
Boys, Dear Evan Hansen, and this season’s hit Ain’t To Proud: The
Life and Times of the Temptations. We talk to Tara about how she
got her start, what it’s like working on The Phantom of the Opera
for so many years, and what makes a good audition. A little bit
later, Rob gives us a closer look into the Casting Society of
America (the “C.S.A.” you often see after a casting director’s
name). This week’s music: “Putting It Together" from Sunday in the
Park with George, “Opening, I Hope I Get It” from A Chorus Line,
“Think of Me” from The Phantom of the Opera, “The Theme from
Another World” by Crystal Gayle and Garry Morris and “A Beat
Behind” from The Goodbye Girl. Learn more about your ad choices.
