What You Discover When Creativity Is Gone (with Marylee Fairbanks)
Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa and Brett have a conversation about Ted Lasso and musical theatre with Marylee Fairbanks.
Marylee Fairbanks is a producer and performer who is known for her work in the first touring production of the musical Ragtime and the show I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change – which is the second-longest-running off-Broadway musical in American theatre history.
In addition to her work on stage, Marylee is the co-producer and co-host of the Stages Podcast alongside her longtime friend and Broadway star Stephanie J. Block, who has starred in megahits like Wicked, The Cher Show, and Into the Woods.
Given her subject-matter expertise, we invited Marylee on the show to chat about Ted Lasso and musical theatre. We also talked a lot about how Ted Lasso the show fosters connection, community, and empathy in ways that mirror many classics of the musical theatre genre and how creativity is still absolutely necessary – even in times of seeming scarcity.

Richmond Til We Die is an episode-by-episode conversation about the Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso, where we explore the characters, their relationships to each other, and how they're able to make us laugh until we can hardly breathe one moment and then feel with the deepest parts of our hearts the next. When you're here, you're a greyhound.
