Author Caseen Gaines Shuffles Along from One Behind the Scenes Story to Another

The Excelsior Journeys Podcast is proud to be part of the Once Upon a Podcast Network.

On this week's episode of Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois sits down with author & pop culture historian Caseen Gaines. Fresh from his acclaimed behind-the-scenes book #ETTheExtraTerrestrial: The Ultimate Visual History (which allowed him access to #DrewBarrymore, #StevenSpielberg, #JohnWilliams, and many more), Caseen has recently launched his book When Broadway Was Black, about the first successful all-black musical in Broadway history, Shuffle Along. He's here to talk about both of these books, as well as some of his other behind-the-scenes books for #PeeWeesPlayhouse, the #BacktotheFuture trilogy, and #TheDarkCrystal.
