Hopefully y’all are just as excited as me that “Show & Tell” with BTL has been renewed for Season Four and will be back on the air again in October through May 2025! For those of you unfamiliar with “Show & Tell” let me break it down for you:   “Show & Tell” is BTL’s morning talk show where we discuss all things that fall under the umbrella of the arts. Huntsville has a thriving arts community and we are proud that it is a place where you can experience Theatre, Music, Dance & Visual Arts everywhere here on the local level, but also with the Broadway touring productions that BTL brings to Huntsville. We are here to support and shine a light on all of it!   We have a new episode every week which airs at 6am on Fox54, Monday through Friday. Episodes are also available to watch on our YouTube channel @BroadwayHuntsville.

Jessica Rush on Opening Night of TINA I remember seeing Tina Turner’s video for “What’s Love Got to Do With It” in high school and I was immediately enthralled by her. She was dressed in a black leather mini dress and denim jacket with her spiky blonde hair, just strutting her stuff around downtown Manhattan and singing her heart out. Come to find out later I was witnessing her big comeback, but to me at the time she was brand new and completely original and cool. Well, I’m super excited that Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is kicking off our new season which is only three months away. It turns out my dear friend of 24-years, Jessica Rush, was in the original Broadway cast of Tina as Rhonda Graam. So of course, I called her to hear all about her experience with the show and a whole lot more. Before I share our chat, here’s a little information about Jess: Jessica Rush is a mom, wife and award-winning actress most recently seen on Broadway as Rhonda in the original Broadway company
