Your dad didn’t die on a TV set. He died fighting giant locusts. On a dragon.

Meet Dan Elish: the award-winning writer who co-wrote the book for 13 that went from Broadway to Netflix (Variety named it one of the year’s 10 best films) and wrote for Emmy-winning Cyberchase and Wonder Pets. Children’s books. Novels. Songs. Musicals. The man does not stay in one lane.

Now he’s sending you on a ride with The Royal Order of Fighting Dragons where Ike Hollingsberry finds out his famous dad’s TV show was a cover-up. King Arthur founded the Order. Merlin’s in the mix. The locusts are real. And Ike is next in line.

Grab it and saddle up.

My guest this week is DAN ELISH, author of a new novel called KING OF BROADWAY. As you will hear, the plot of this novel was inspired by a real life interaction that Elish had with the legendary Broadway songwriter Stephen Sondheim.

While the majority of authors I interview on Broadway Nation Podcast are historians or scholars who have created non-fiction works about the history of the Broadway musical, every once in a while it is my great pleasure to feature a fiction writer who has taken what I call a "novel approach" to Broadway.

@danelish22 co-wrote the book to the Broadway musical 13 (music & lyrics by @jasonrobertbrownstagram) which has been performed all over the world and is now a movie on Netflix. Elish is also the bookwriter and co-lyricist of the off-Broadway musical, "The Evolution of Man." Additionally, he's the author of twelve novels for readers of all ages including the real-life children's novel, "The Worldwide Dessert Contest" which in "King of Broadway" becomes the basis for a fictional Broadway musical.

Yes, it is very meta!

Just finished my friend, Dan Elish's latest book, "The King of Broadway." If you're into musical theater, good-natured jokes about musical theater, inside jokes about musical theater, and really, REALLY inside jokes about musical theater, then this is the book for you!
