Broadway on the Brazos is all about the history, context, and craftsmanship behind Broadway musicals — everything from the backstories of the shows and composers to the structure and significance of the music itself.

Each week on KWBU, host Beth Richards brings listeners an engaging, fact-filled journey through musical theatre, highlighting fun facts, surprising details, and the people who shaped the sound of the stage.

Beth Richards - part of the programming and operations team at Waco Public Radio, and a long-time theatre professional & owner of the Brazos Theatre - curates episodes that spotlight standout songs, the artists behind them, and the cultural moments that made them matter. It’s not about gushing or glowing—it’s about digging into what makes these shows and songs tick.

Whether you’re a lifelong Broadway buff or just Broadway-curious, Broadway on the Brazos is your front-row seat to the fascinating world of musical theatre—every Sunday evening at 7:00 on KWBU.

The show premiered on September 8, 2024.
