Big Fat Broadway Cruise - A Broadway Insider Experience on the Sea
Seth Rudetsky

As a pianist, Seth has performed in more than a dozen Broadway productions, including RAGTIME, LES MISÉRABLES, and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, before making his Broadway acting debut in THE RITZ. His deep knowledge of musical theatre and effortless musicianship have made him a sought-after collaborator onstage and off.

Seth cowrote and starred in DISASTER! a show the New York Times praised as a “triumph,” and he continues to shape the conversation around Broadway through multiple platforms. He is the afternoon host of SiriusXM’s ON BROADWAY and the creator and host of the podcast SETH SPEAKS! where he interviews artists, shares insider stories, and celebrates musical theatre history.

A prolific writer and educator, Seth contributes a weekly column to Playbill.com, leads master classes nationwide, and tours with his acclaimed one-man show DECONSTRUCTING BROADWAY, blending performance, storytelling, and expert insight to entertain and inspire audiences of all ages. He is also appearing on an upcoming Broadway Cruise, bringing live performances, master classes, and behind-the-scenes conversations to fans at sea.
